1. I believe he did

In October 2002, Biden voted for the final resolution to support the war in Iraq. He has long supported the Bush administration's war effort and appropriations to pay for it, but has argued repeatedly that more soldiers are needed, the war should be internationalized, and the Bush administration should "level with the American people" about the cost and length of the conflict.

According to Wikipedia

10. Then Wikipedia is wrong and needs to be fixed.

15. Biden isn't among the list who voted against...

in the Wiki entry.

Straight from Senate.gov is best, though.

20. He voted to start this shit...

and no amount of flip flopping washed the blood from his hands on that one.

[scheming daemons]

3. He voted for it... but the fact that his son is being deployed their gives him SOME cover

[davidpdx]

7. I wonder how him being the VP nominee will change

his son's deployment. There is no way they can allow him to go to Iraq now.

This should be an OP I think.

[Skwmom]

12. I'd watch how he uses that cover because his son is a JAG Officer.

But hey, what do I know. I'm not a Washington political consultant.

[Maven]

4. No, he voted for the IWR.

8. Voted for, also voted for splitting Iraq up into 3 sections, also was an MRAP

advocate. He was involved, which is more than I can say for many people.

[Naturyl]

9. He voted for it... BUT....

1. He called Bushco out on the carpet about the idiotic way they hadled it. Watch:

2. He is sending his son there. His OWN son.

Kinda changes the first impression about his vote, eh?

[valerief]

11. NO.

[davidpdx]

13. It seems we have mulitple answers going on here

I said yes he did, but someone posted a link that says no.

[johnaries]

14. It doesn't matter anymore, since Bush has adopted Obama's

position. We need to emphasize this: Obama was so "on spot" about Iraq that now even Bush agrees with him and has adopted Obama's policies.

Why isn't this in the M$M? Even Bush admits Obama was right?

[onehandle]

16. No. nt

[Wetzelbill]

17. He voted for it

As previously said. He also has said he believes he was wrong to do so, in retrospect.

[wisteria]

19. He strongly supported it. n/t

[candice]

21. Voted YES for Iraq Rez, voted for the bankruptcy law...pushed in Clarence Thomas...

...he's an old Washington hack. Hope+Change(TM) NOT! More of same. Obama needs "gravitas" and someone who won't upstage him.
