   Perhaps Clinton should have told someone of his astounding success.  Seems   
   as if they were all in the dark...   
      
   "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 a   
   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 weep   
   on 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
