I don't know what Hillary's position was at the time, but I think I remember at least some of the other Democrats who voted "for the war" stated that they didn't want to go to war and didn't approve of going to war, but they were voting "to give the president authority to go to war" so that Bush would have that threat of war as a negotiation tool when dealing with Saddam during the cat and mouse game leading up to the war. They (the democrats) were foolish and should have known that Bush wouldn't try to negotiate as soon as he had war approval. But that's a different complaint about the Democrats.
