WOODRUFF: I want to ask you another question about Iraq, Senator Hutchison. And that is, with the new information coming out from David Kay, the chief weapons inspector, that there really is no hard information that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq before the war. You voted with the president, as did Senator Clinton. If you had known then what you know now, would you have cast your vote the same way?

HUTCHISON: Well, I am disappointed, there is no question about it. I am very concerned about the doctrine of preemption. And I am concerned when we don't have good intelligence information. I think the president is doing exactly the right thing in now appointing a commission that has Democrats and Republicans to look into this intelligence. How could we have failed? If, in fact, there aren't weapons of mass destruction, how could our intelligence have been so uniform in saying, yes, they had them?

Now, you bet (ph) evidence was there. The fact that Saddam Hussein was helping to pay people who were doing suicide bombings, and in the Palestinian Authority, did make him a threat. But we have to make sure that we -- if we're going to go forward in this way, that we do have good intelligence so that we don't make a mistake.

WOODRUFF: Senator Clinton, the same question. Would you have cast your vote the same?

1. Yes, but

She is blaming it on "intelligence", which is the mantra of Republicans who are currently under fire (metaphorically speaking, like they would know what it's like).

She still is supporting Bush. I'm sure the Republicans will continue to hew to this line until it is no longer viable for them.

3. Neither did Clinton! I have a new name for Clinton

I shall from now on call her "Bobble Head" because when she's listening to a question she bobs her head up and down like one of those dolls rednecks have on their dashboards. When she listens to the answers of others she bobs her head up and down. Its really annoying that these politicians rarely answer a direct question. But they're lawyers, so what else should we expect.

4. Yea. Can't we get some ditch diggers as our representatives for a change?

Thats just the ticket.
