Did Hillary Speak out against the Iraq war before 2002?

[RazBerryBeret]

Have I missed something?

excerpt from a campaign stop today in Oregon:

Clinton was later asked about her now infamous 3 a.m. phone call ad and what exactly makes her ready to answer that call when she has, as part of her record, a vote for the war in Iraq. Clinton defended her vote on the war saying voters should compare both her and Obama's records.

“I made a considered judgment, I didn’t make a speech, I made a decision and it was a decision based on my best assessment on what would be in the interest of our country at that very uncertain time.”

"Obama has been credited with foreseeing a troublesome war in Iraq primarily due to a speech he gave in 2002 while he was a state senator, where he spoke out against the war. Clinton said, “I started criticizing the war in Iraq before he did. So, I’m well aware that his entire campaign is premised on a speech he gave in 2002 and I give him credit for making that speech. But that was not a decision.”

IMO, she seems to be splitting hairs here between a "decision" and "judgement"....but if a decision is based on jugement, can you really say one is more important than the other? AND more importantly, did she speak out against the war before 2002?
