38. Post 24 is accurate, I'm not sure what you were trying to correct?

It was the OP who conflated the two resolutions, not that poster.

And, she was the only member, of any race or sex, who voted against the use of force in Iraq. Talk about courage.

The 2001 AUMF had nothing to do with authorizing military action in Iraq, that is the resolution she stood alone voting against.

The 2002 AUMF authorized military action in Iraq, she and many members of Congress opposed it.
