   Saddam Hussein has spent the better part of this decade and much of his   
   nation's wealth not on providing for the Iraqi people but on developing   
   nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and the missiles to deliver   
   them."   
   -- President Bill Clinton (State of the Union Address), Jan. 27, 1998   
      
   "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 Bill 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 Bill Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998   
      
   "No one has done what Saddam Hussein has done, or is thinking of doing.   
   He is producing weapons of mass destruction, and he is qualitatively and   
   quantitatively different from other dictators.""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:   
   -- Democratic Senators 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 Secretary 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   
      
   "I mean, we have three different countries that, while they all present   
   serious problems for the United States -- they're dictatorships, they're   
   involved in the development and proliferation of weapons of mass   
   destruction -- you know, the most imminent, clear and present threat to   
   our country is not the same from those three countries.  I think Iraq is   
   the most serious and imminent threat to our country."   
   -- Sen. John Edwards (D, NC) Feb. 24, 2002   
      
   "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 th! e means of delivering them."   
   -- Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 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.   We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and   
   chemical weapons throughout his country."   "   
   -- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002   
      
   "There is no doubt that Saddam Hussein's regime is a serious danger, that   
   he is a tyrant, and that his pursuit of lethal weapons of mass destruction   
   cannot be tolerated.  He must be disarmed.  We have known for many years   
   that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass   
   destruction."   
   -- Sen. Edward Kennedy (D, MA) Sep. 27, 2002   
      
   "Now let me be clear -- I suffer no illusions about Saddam Hussein.  He is   
   a brutal man.  A ruthless man.  A man who butchers his own people to   
   secure his own power.  He has repeatedly defied UN resolutions, thwarted   
   UN inspection teams, developed chemical and biological weapons, and   
   coveted nuclear capacity.  He's a bad guy.  The world, and the Iraqi   
   people, would be better off without him."   
   -- State Senator Barack Obama (Democrat, Illinois) Oct. 2, 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   
      
   "My position is very clear: The time has come for decisive action to   
   eliminate the threat posed by Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass   
   destruction."   
   -- Senator John Edwards (D, NC), Oct. 7, 2002   
      
   "We stopped the fighting [in 1991] on an agreement that Iraq would take   
   steps to assure the world that it would not engage in further aggression   
   and that it would destroy its weapons of mass destruction.  It has refused   
   to take those steps.  That refusal constitutes a breach of the armistice   
   which renders it void and justifies resumption of the armed conflict."   
   -- Sen. Harry Reid (D. NV) Oct. 9, 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   
      
   "I come to this debate, Mr. Speaker, as one at the end of 10 years in
