12. It's not conjecture to say we don't know how he would have voted.

We don't. It's conjecture to say he would also have voted FOR the war.

And even if he is saying "he doesn't know" for political benefit, it's a far cry between walking the middle line in a campaign on a hypothetical to try to garner as many votes as possible (that's politics), and casting a vote that has real life and death consequences to try to garner as many votes as possible.

I agree with your last paragraph completely, they're hardly any different at all. I like Hillary (though I don't think she's run a great campaign). Yes, Hillary has had a harder course to plot, and WAS in a tougher situation.

I just think her vote harms her, if not cripples her, as related in the OP.
