"Good evening," the U.S. president began in a hastily called address to the nation, which many Americans have chosen to forget. "Earlier today, I ordered America's armed forces to strike military and security targets in Iraq. They are joined by British forces. Their mission is to attack Iraq's nuclear, chemical and biological weapons programs and its military capacity to threaten its neighbors." His expression determined, his goals clear, the president continued: "I have no doubt today, that left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will use these terrible weapons again." Congress was all but caught off-guard. The Senate majority leader, from the other party, was the first to react, saying he could not endorse the president's surprise military action. But as the commander in chief stated, this was "the surest way to contain Saddam's weapons of mass destruction program, curtail his aggression and prevent another Gulf war." And so began the president's substantial bombing raid on Baghdad. He gave the military orders to unleash sea-launched Tomahawk cruise missiles and attacks by Navy warplanes targeting Saddam's many presidential palaces that were regarded by the White House as key storage points for chemical and biological weaponry and the elements to make them. The attacks continued in waves though suspicious lawmakers on Capitol Hill accused the president of playing politics. It was nine years ago next month that President Clinton, on the eve of a vote in the House of Representatives to impeach him, sought to destroy Saddam's now-supposedly nonexistent weapons of mass destruction.
