Blanche Lincoln voted for IWR along with Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, John Kerry, Joe Biden, and any other Democratic U.S. Senator (aside from Feingold) who might jump into the 2008 race.

Not the way I would have voted, but I don't believe in applying unreasonable litmus tests that will wipe out most of the field of potential viable presidential candidates.

In 2004 during the Arkansas senatorial debates, Senator Lincoln said that she believed Bush did not exhaust all of the appropriate diplomatic resources before invading Iraq. She added that future U.S. intervention in Iraq should be limited to U.S. Special Services troops, and that the U.S. needs to let the Iraqi people run their own government.
