In reply to the discussion: Looks like we have a progressive challenger for Dianne Feinstein in CA [View all]Expecting Rain
(811 posts)118. Senator Clinton made the reasons and her concerns very clear in a speech she made before she cast...
her vote based on the evidence she had at the time. The reasoning and aspirations to avoid a war stand up.
Democrats who authorized force were clear they wanted a diplomatic solution (not war) and calculated that a show of forse was the best way to get Saddam to comply with UN inspections.
The after-math of the war went very badly, and with hindsight most Democrats regretted the votes (but not necessarily the reasoning behind making those votes in the first place).
