    Voting for Iraq was/is a "sin"

    It's clear that most Senators either didn't do their due diligence, or ignored the facts for political reasons. It's pretty clear now that the top level of the executive branch cooked the intelligence. Our system depends on checks and balances. Biden didn't vote like Byrd, Chaffee, and Stephanie Tubbs Jones to name a few. At least he acknowledged his mistake, which is more than I can say for McCain. But it was a mistake, and an extremely costly one.
