Hillary's Latest Regarding Her Iraq War Vote

Here is what Hillary said on Meet the Press this morning with regard to her 2002 vote to authorize the Iraq War:

Moderator Tim Russert pointed out that the title of the resolution was the "Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002." Clinton responded saying, "We can have this Jesuitical argument about what exactly was meant. But when Chuck Hagel, who helped to draft the resolution said, 'It was not a vote for war,' What I was told directly by the White House in response to my question, 'If you are given this authority, will you put the inspectors in and permit them to finish their job,' I was told that's exactly what we intended to do."
So if that resolution was such a great thing, why the hell did 23 Senators vote against it? I remember watching Senator Robert Byrd going on and on about how bad of a thing this resolution was. Did he know something you didn't, Hillary?
