The problem for the past seven years has always been George Bush and Dick Cheney. It hasn't been Dick Durbin, or Nancy Pelosi, or John Edwards, or Fu Manchu, or Donald Duck.
Even if every Republican in Congress had been opposed to the Iraq War, it wouldn't have mattered a bit in the end: Bush was going to invade Iraq, no matter what. Rick Santorum could have gone on a hunger strike, naked, outside the White House, to protest against any upcoming invasion, and still Bush would have launched the invasion. Tom DeLay could have held a peace-in, marching hand-in-hand with Wavy Gravy and Jesse Jackson, and yet the war would have happened, regardless. (Not like those two miscreants didn't help foster the war -- they did, quite a bit -- but their support wasn't necessary, for all practical purposes.)
If I didn't know better, you'd think it was Dick Durbin or Nancy Pelosi themselves who signed the veto today, the way some people have made it sound. Sheesh.
