Most of the world thought there were WMD's...including the last Administration.... Here's a note I posted weeks ago on PfP.....
Message 20956281
From a Republican site, Democrats on WMD....including this from Kennedy...maybe he was "lying then"....or is he lying now? Or....? This website has plenty of quotes and direct links to what the Democrats said about how they were sure Saddam had WMD...we can compare what they say then, versus what they say now...And remind the liberal media of these quotes from their favorite folks, like Kennedy, Clinton, Kerry, etc ....

Actually, Sen. Ted Kennedy also was aware of the evidence and believed that Iraq had WMDs. The following is from a Kennedy press release issued last October and still on his website: kennedy.senate.gov It is not possible to reconcile these comments with his slanderous accusations of last week:
"There is no doubt that Saddam Hussein's regime is a serious danger, that he is a tyrant, and that his pursuit of lethal weapons of mass destruction cannot be tolerated. He must be disarmed. ... There is clearly a threat from Iraq, and there is clearly a danger... We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction. ... In public hearings before the Senate Armed Services Committee in March, CIA Director George Tenet described Iraq as a threat but not as a proliferator, saying that Saddam Hussein 'is determined to thwart U.N. sanctions, press ahead with weapons of mass destruction, and resurrect the military force he had before the Gulf War.' That is unacceptable...
"If Saddam's regime and his very survival are threatened, then his view of his interests may be profoundly altered. He may decide he has nothing to lose by using weapons of mass destruction himself or by sharing them with terrorists. .. Nor can we rule out the possibility that Saddam would assault American forces with chemical or biological weapons. ... Clearly we must halt Saddam Hussein's quest for weapons of mass destruction." -- October 4, 2002
Kennedy also wrote at the time, "Let me say it plainly: I not only concede, but I am convinced that President Bush believes genuinely in the course he urges upon us. --9/27/03 kennedy.senate.gov So what happened, Ted? |
