October 11, 2002: Senate Votes to Authorize Iraq War 
-----------------------------------------------------


 
Today marks 10 years since the Senate voted to authorize the use of
military force against Iraq, paving the way for the U.S. invasion that
would come less than six months later. Among those to vote in favor were
future Democratic presidential candidates John Kerry, Hillary Clinton,
John Edwards and Joe Biden, who squares off against another lawmaker who
also voted for war, Rep. Paul Ryan, in today's vice-presidential debate.
