    33 Senators Say They Were Wrong To Vote For War In Iraq

    According to a new ABC News survey, 33 out of the original 77 senators “indicated they would vote differently knowing then what they know now.” Five senators — including three Republicans — said that in retrospect, the intelligence was so wrong that the matter should never have even been brought to a vote. These results would mean that a vote to authorize war in Iraq today would be 43-57, and the resolution would fail.

    28 indicated they would vote differently knowing then what they know now:

    1. Sen. Max Baucus, R-Mont.
    2. Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind.
    3. Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del.
    4. Former Sen. John Breaux, D-La.
    5. Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash.
    6. former Sen. Jean Carnahan, D-Mo.
    7. Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del.
    8. Former Sen. Max Cleland, R-Ga.
    9. Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y.
    10. Former Majority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D.
    11. Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn.
    12. Former Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C.
    13. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.
    14. Former Sen. Peter Fitzgerald, R-Ill.
    15. Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa
    16. Former Sen. Fritz Hollings, D-S.C.
    17. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas
    18. Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass.
    19. Sen. Herb Kohl, R-Wis.
    20. Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La.
    21. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla.
    22. Former Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell, R-Colo.
    23. Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va.
    24. Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.
    25. Sen. Gordon Smith, R-Ore.
    26. Former Sen. Bob Smith, R-N.H.
    27. Sen. Olympia Snowe, R-Maine
    28. Former Sen. Bob Torricelli, R-N.J.

    5 said the intelligence in retrospect was so wrong the matter would never even have been voted on:

    1. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.
    2. Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine
    3. Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa
    4. Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D.
    5. Former Sen. Mike DeWine, R-Ohio

    1 said the intelligence in retrospect was so wrong Congress never would have passed it:
