In Congress, the notable figures who voted against the invasion of Iraq in 2002 included Senators Barbara Lee, who was the only member of the House of Representatives to oppose the use of military force, and a few others from both the House and Senate. Key opponents included Senators Ted Kennedy and Russ Feingold, along with Representatives like Dennis Kucinich and Maxine Waters. Their opposition was based on concerns about the justifications for war and the potential consequences of military action.

How many members of Congress voted to go to war with Iraq?

That's a trick question. The answer has to be zero, because there was never a Declaration of War put forth to vote on, in order for Congress to vote to go to war with Iraq. Congress only voted on the idea. The United Nations said it was authorized to allow that action. By what authority, I have no idea. There is no war in Iraq, we the United States with the deceptive practices of our so-called leaders invaded Iraq. Big difference between a war and an invasion. War requires a Declaration of War voted and passed by Congress with 2/3 the majority. If this is a war, please by all means show me the signed Declaration of War passed by the members of Congress. Otherwise, we invaded a country under the premise of lies. Impeachment of the Bush Administration would be a good start to some house cleaning. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- LIke all political nincompoops, the above responder refuses to deal in facts. The overall vote from a combination of house and senate was an overwhelming 373-156, to allow Bush to take military action (regardless of whether or not it was a formal declaration of war) against Iraq.

What was Saddam Hussein's purpose of Iraq's invasion?

This question strikes me as somewhat misinformed. Since it was Saddam Hussein's country which was invaded, I don't think he had a purpose in the invasion. The invasion was undertaken by American forces against Iraq, and Saddam fled.
