IMO, ( without the lengthy cut and paste) GIVEN what was known and presented at the time, the vote for the War was the correct thing.

A lot of us knew better than that, even back then. A lot of us were exactly right in all of our predictions on this subject. Some of those who were right were even working in government back then and spoke out about it at the time. Obama, votes to fund the war notwithstanding, was correct in his assessment and his predictions about waging war against Iraq.
