You are comitting the same sin as so many on the right--you're oversimplifying the issue. It's not a black or white thing, there is nuance here. What they are saying is that when they authorized the president to go to war in Iraq, everyone thought that Iraq had WMDs. Now, what they are saying that that Bush abused their vote by never seriously considering any other options other than war, and because Bush rushed to war there was never any time to validate what most people thought. If Bush had been a little more thoughtful, we would have found out that there were no WMDs and not had to go to war.
