37. The politically expedient course wasn't clear. I'm sure she knew she'd take

As for the quotation, she was relying on false information given to her by the Bush administration. She had no separate access to accurate info. Even so, the reality was that if the Dems had voted against the IWR in October 2002, Bush would have gotten an even broader IWR in January 2003 from the new Republican Senate.
And he would have had a green light to enter Iran whenever he wanted.
