QUOTES
FROM AMNESIA CITY..............
"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 time
since 1983." - Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb,
18,
1998
"We 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
(D-MI), Tom Daschle (D-SD), John Kerry( D - MA), 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
Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999
"There is no doubt that .. Saddam Hussein has invigorated
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, December
5, 2001
"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a
tyrant and threat
to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the
mandated 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 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
"Without 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
EVERY ONE OF THESE SAME DEMOCRATS SAY PRESIDENT BUSH LIED--THAT
THERE NEVER WERE ANY WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION AND HE TOOK
US TO WAR UNNECESSARILY!
