17. For the record--Graham voted against Iraq resolution
in fact he was joined by all the other Dem Senators running for President.

Not. Graham is a senator from Florida. He voted against the Iraq resolution. He had the "consistency and courage" to insist on the CIA providing a report to Congress before the Iraq vote, and this report included caveats on the nuclear threat from Iraq. Senator Graham voted against the resolution on the basis that, while Saddam was a bad guy, going after Iraq was a dangerous diversion from the much greater threat from al Queda.
