This is a good piece of reading for the five year
anniversary of 9/11.
Remember what these Democrats had to say come
election time.
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 Secetary 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
a licit 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 mandate
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 the development of weapons of mass
destruction."
Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002
"He 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
"[W]ithout 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??? |
