quote:
John Kerry, 23 February 1998: "Saddam Hussein has already used these weapons and has made it clear that he has the intent to continue to try,
by virtue of his duplicity and secrecy, to continue to do so. That is a threat to the stability of the Middle East. It is a threat with respect to the potential of terrorist activities on a global basis. It is a threat even to regions near but not exactly in the Middle East."
quote:
Thomas Daschle, 1998: a 1998 use-of-force resolution would "send as clear a message as possible that we are going to force, one way or
another, diplomatically or militarily, Iraq to comply with international law." "We have exhausted virtually our diplomatic effort to get the Iraqis to comply with their own agreements and with international law. Given that, what other option is there but to force them to do so?"
quote:
Al Gore, 16 December 1998: "If you allow someone like Saddam Hussein to get nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles, chemical weapons,
biological weapons, how many people is he going to kill with such weapons? He's already demonstrated a willingness to use these weapons.
He poison-gassed his own people. He used poison gas and other weapons of mass destruction against his neighbors. This man has no compunction
about killing lots and lots of people."
quote:
Hillary Rodham Clinton, Floor Speech of 10 October 2002 (from her own
Senate Web site):
"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, though there is apparently no
evidence of his involvement in the terrible events of September 11, 2001."
