"Democrats had the same intelligence the White House did, and they voted for the war! That proves the White House did the best with the intelligence it had!"

Um, no. Congress was pretty much reliant on the White House for information--meaning they only saw what the White House wanted them to see.

That doesn't necessarily absolve the legislators of responsibility, of course, given most of them didn't even look at the intelligence they were given:

The lawmakers are partly to blame for their ignorance. Congress was entitled to view the 92-page National Intelligence Estimate about Iraq before the October 2002 vote. But, as The Washington Post reported last year, no more than six senators and a handful of House members read beyond the five-page executive summary.
