So Al, I didn't watch the State of the Union. Are there any new countries that have bought weapons grade uranium during the past year? Any discussion of WMDs and weasels? How many more tax cuts is he planning? Did he use a teleprompter or did he wing it? TIA. He stayed away largely from WMD discussions, other than some passing remarks. He still sticks to his guns and stretches the truth. And he defends the honor of the UN <<gg>>. The very UN that had indeed stripped Iraq of its weapons and that he rudely brushed aside in 2003...but whose honor is now important enough to mention in speech. Says nothing of Israel's defiance of UN resolutions...of course. Some in this chamber, and in our country, did not support the liberation of Iraq. Objections to war often come from principled motives. But let us be candid about the consequences of leaving Saddam Hussein in power. We're seeking all the facts. Already, the Kay Report identified dozens of weapons of mass destruction-related program activities and significant amounts of equipment that Iraq concealed from the United Nations. Had we failed to act, the dictatator's weapons of mass destruction programs would continue to this day. Had we failed to act, Security Council resolutions on Iraq would have been revealed as empty threats, weakening the United Nations and encouraging defiance by dictators around the world. Al
