unless she is referring to another ammendment? She voted against the Levin ammendment. I can't find any others at the time.....
On MTP....
MR. RUSSERT: As we sit here this morning, Saddam rebuilding a nuclear weapons program, just not true; giving aid and sanctuary to al-Qaeda, debatable. Your vote in the best interests of the nation. Do you believe that your vote was in the best interest of the nation?
SEN. CLINTON: Well, I cast a sincere vote based on my assessment at the time, and I take responsibility for that vote. I also said on the floor that day that this was not a vote for pre-emptive war. I thought it made sense to put inspectors back in. As you recall, Saddam had driven out the UN inspectors in 1998 and the situation in Iraq was opaque, hard to determine, and I thought that it made sense to put inspectors back in. Now, obviously, if I had known then what I know now about what the president would do with the authority that was given him, I would not have voted the way that I did.

As the war became more and more unpopular, Hillary explained that when she voted for the Iraq war resolution, she was actually voting for a further appeal to the UN. However, soon after, she voted against an amendment requiring the President to go to the UN to receive authorization for the Iraq war.
