WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION
"[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
"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
"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 friend. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9,2002
"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
"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 friend. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003
