Hillary Clinton "I started criticizing the war in Iraq before he did"
In reference to Obama's 2002 speech. But that's not what she said in "HER" speech on the Senate floor on Oct. 10, 2002:

“I believe the authority to use force to enforce that mandate is inherent in the original 1991 UN resolution, as President Clinton recognized when he launched Operation Desert Fox in 1998.

“If we get the resolution that President Bush seeks, and if Saddam complies, disarmament can proceed and the threat can be eliminated. Regime change will, of course, take longer but we must still work for it, nurturing all reasonable forces of opposition.

“If we get the resolution and Saddam does not comply, then we can attack him with far more support and legitimacy than we would have otherwise.” - Sen. Hillary Clinton

11. and you have no real understanding
of what the IWR vote was --either that, or you are a Bush apologist.

There was no authorization for a pre-emptive attack in the IWR .
