Experience shmerience:

And here are Senator Obama's remarks at the same time -- 2002:
I know that Saddam poses no imminent and direct threat to the United States, or to his neighbors… I know that even a successful war against Iraq will require a U.S. occupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences. I know that an invasion of Iraq without a clear rationale -- without strong international support will only fan the flames of the Middle East, and encourage the worst, rather than the best, impulses of the Arab world, and strengthen the recruitment arm of al-Qaeda. I am not opposed to all wars. I’m opposed to dumb wars.
I wonder who had the most "experience" in 2002? I wonder, as Tim Russert asked on Meet the Press, who displayed better judgement at the time?
