Subject: Weapons of Mass Destruction
"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the
capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the
missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line."
President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998
"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our
purpose is clear. We
want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's
weapons of mass
destruction program." President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998
"Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there
matters a great deal
here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will
use nuclear,
chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is
the greatest
security
threat we face." Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998
"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he
has ten times
since 1983." Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security
Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998
"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and
consistent with the U.S.
Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including,
if appropriate,
air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond
effectively to
the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of
mass destruction
programs." Letter to President Clinton, signed by Sens. Carl
Levin, Tom
Daschle, John Kerry, and others Oct. 9, 1998
"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of
weapons of mass
destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the
region and he has
made a mockery of the weapons inspection process." Rep.
Nancy Pelosi (D, CA),
Dec. 16, 1998
"Hussein has ... chosen to spend his money on building
weapons of mass
destruction and palaces for his cronies." Madeline
Albright, Clinton
Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999
"There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated
his weapons
programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and
nuclear programs
continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In
addition, Saddam
continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless
using the cover of an
ilicit missile program to develop longer-range missiles
that will threaten the United
States and our allies." Letter to President Bush, Signed by
Sen. Bob Graham
(D, FL,) and others, Dec 5, 2001
"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a
tyrant and a
threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has
ignored the mandated
of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass
destruction and the means
of delivering them." Sen. Carl Levin (d, MI), Sept. 19,
2002
"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological
and chemical
weapons throughout his country." Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002
"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven
impossible to
deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long
as Saddam is in
power." Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002
"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking
and developing
weapons of mass destruction." Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA),
Sept. 27, 2002
"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of
1998. We are
confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of
chemical and
biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a
crash course to build up his
chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence
reports indicate
that he is seeking nuclear weapons..." Sen. Robert Byrd (D,
WV), Oct. 3, 2002
"I will be voting to give the President of the United States
the authority
to use force-- if necessary-- to disarm Saddam Hussein
because I believe that
a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands
is a real and
grave threat to our security." Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA),
Oct. 9, 2002
"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is
working aggressively
to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear
weapons within the
next five years ... We also should remember we have always
underestimated the
progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass
destruction." Sen.
Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002
"He (speaking of Hussein) has systematically violated, over
the course of
the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has
demanded that he
disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and
any nuclear
capacity. This he has refused to do" Rep. Henry Waxman (D,
CA), Oct. 10, 2002
"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence
reports show that
Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and
biological weapons
stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear
program. He has also
given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including
al Qaeda members
It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein
will continue to
increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical
warfare, and will keep
trying to develop nuclear weapons." Sen. Hillary Clinton (D,
NY), Oct 10,
2002
"We are in possession of what I think to be compelling
evidence that Saddam
Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing
capacity for the
production and storage of weapons of mass destruction." Sen.
Bob Graham (D,
FL), Dec. 8, 2002
"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a
brutal,
murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He
presents a
particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently
prone to miscalculation ... And
now he is miscalculating America's response to his
continued deceit and his
consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the
threat of Saddam
Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real ..." Sen.
John F. Kerry (D,
MA), Jan. 23. 2003
SO NOW THE DEMOCRATS SAY PRESIDENT BUSH LIED, THAT THERE
NEVER WERE ANY
WMD'S AND HE TOOK US TO WAR FOR HIS OIL BUDDIES???
Let me know your thoughts.
