"We want to seriously dimnish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program." -
Bill Clinton Feb 17, 1998
"The risk that the leaders of (Iraq) will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or
our allies is the greatest security risk we face," Madeleine Albright, Feb 18, 1998
"We urge you ... to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of
mass desturction programs," - Letter to President Clinton, signed by (among others) Tom Daschle and
John Kerry, Oct 9, 1998
"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass
destruction," Ted Kennedy, Fall 2002
"We know (Saddam) has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his
country," - Al Gore, Sep 23, 2002
This of course presents a real dilemma for those who want to denigrate President Bush and members of
his cabinet for saying the same things. Either they blast Clinton, Albright, Kerry, Daschle,
Kennedy, Gore (and many others) for taking that same position, or they admit that the politics are
really the concern, not the position.
