"However, some of the quotes are truncated, and context is provided for none of them — several of these quotes were offered in the course of statements that clearly indicated the speaker was decidedly against unilateral military intervention in Iraq by the U.S. Moreover, several of the quotes offered antedate the four nights of airstrikes unleashed against Iraq by U.S. and British forces during Operation Desert Fox in December 1998, after which Secretary of Defense William S. Cohen and Gen. Henry H. Shelton (chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) announced the action had been successful in "degrad[ing] Saddam Hussein's ability to deliver chemical, biological and nuclear weapons."

1998 statements are irrelevant. Clinton bombed the hell out of Saddam's suspected weapons site after those statements and obliterated them. Kaye's inspectors report that if Saddam had any WMD left from 1992 they were destroyed by CLinton in 1998.

Bush-Cheney didn't make their phony WMD case for war until 4 years later when they should have been concentrating on Al Qaida and Bin Laden.
