"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.
"Together we must also confront the new hazards of chemical and biological weapons, and the outlaw states, terrorists and organized criminals seeking to acquire them. 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 Clinton, Jan. 27, 1998.
"Fateful decisions will be made in the days and weeks ahead. At issue is nothing less than the fundamental question of whether or not we can keep the most lethal weapons known to mankind out of the hands of an unreconstructed tyrant and aggressor who is in the same league as the most brutal dictators of this century."
Sen. Joe Biden (D, DE), Feb. 12, 1998
"It is essential that a dictator like Saddam not be allowed to evade international strictures and wield frightening weapons of mass destruction. As long as UNSCOM is prevented from carrying out its mission, the effort to monitor Iraqi compliance with Resolution 687 becomes a dangerous shell game. Neither the United States nor the global community can afford to allow Saddam Hussein to continue on this path."
Sen. Tom Daschle (D, SD), Feb. 12, 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."
Madeleine 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.
"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, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others Oct. 9, 1998.
"As a member of the House Intelligence Committee, I am keenly aware that the proliferation of chemical and biological weapons is an issue of grave importance to all nations. 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."
Madeleine Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999.
"This December will mark three years since United Nations inspectors last visited Iraq. There is no doubt that since that time, 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 refine 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.
"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 the means of delivering them."
Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002.
"We know that he has stored away 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 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. I'm a co-sponsor of the bipartisan resolution that's presently under consideration in the Senate. Saddam Hussein's regime is a grave threat to America and our allies..."
John Edwards (D, NC), Oct. 7, 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.

Mike and a few others get disgusted with us folks that help cope with repressed memories. Somebody like me cares enough to help.
I refuse to get into a 3 page debate with you and you're made up sources and all of the rest of your delusions, but I'll say the same thing I've said when this is brought up.
Sure most of us believed that Saddam had WMD's. The Congress, former Presidents and other countries like Britain. The intelligence on Iraq was bad and got worse after GWB took office due to Cheney's strong arming the CIA agents into fabricating intelligence in his favor.
The clear line of difference is that the Neo-Cons that led GWB around by the arm for 8 years, decided the intelligence was sure enough to put American forces on the ground for a full scale invasion/regime change in Iraq. They made the mis-step of believing that was the best way to disarm Iraq when in fact it wasn't. History now proves that the U.N. sanctions and inspections had indeed worked. President Clinton didn't make that error. President Bush senior didn't. Many in Congress urged caution when considering a full invasion as the proper way of disarming Saddam.
Everyone wanted him disarmed from the U.N. to the U.S. to Britain. The grave error was on the part of the Bush administration alone who took the classified intelligence and made the decision that they were certain enough to go to war. Only four members of Congress see that level of intelligence, so most Congressmen were at the mercy of the manipulated intelligence the White House was feeding them and the rest of the world. That error lies sqaurely on the Bushies and no one else.
You try to rewrite history as if everyone you quoted thought the proper way to deal with Saddam Hussein was by launching a ground war. Just because they believed he had wmd's does not mean they believed the proper thing to do was put over 100,000 soldiers on the ground to verify it. Wrong, wrong, wrong coadie.

I haven't written or re written history
I am sharing ideas from your friends and you FORGOT history
We call that selective long term memory ablation. If you need counseling we can drill down and pull up some repressed memories for ya. Couple hundred bucks an hour.
Looks like your pals gave President Bush some bad information and advice?
Looks like your blaming Pres Bush needed to be exposed.
He is a fine leader and it is clear the Dems backed him with money.
Looks like your pals gave President Bush some bad information and advice?

Those two statements are fine example of your delusional reasoning. Just to explain so you can hopefully gain a better understanding of the relationship between the President and Congress, Congress doesn't give the President info on CIA gathered intelligence. It's the exact opposite. The President receives a PDB from the CIA every morning and has the highest access to classified levels of intelligence. The President can't be "mislead" by Congress on matters of national security. Delusional...
The concept that a President who was supported by, at times, under 30% of the American people was a "fine" leader is another clear delusion of yours. Another blatant attempt at your re-writing of history you seem to insist on. The Dem's backing him with money, well that speaks for itself also. That sounds like another one of your grand creations straight from coadie land.
I certainly hope all of your mentions of psychology and treating others is another delusion of yours. That would be a scary position for you to be in, IMO. With that said, I'll go ahead and wish you a great day and let you post whatever other kind of delusional concepts you've come up with on the subject.

Use the word scary to add a little drama.
Delusion big word alert. What is a delusion?
Quote:

Madeleine Albright, Feb. 18, 1998.
Sounds like Albright is deluded and not bright. She said it.
30%
Why so high? Us narrow road people feel like a manority.
52% voted for abortion and a covering for fornication. 100% of the Dems Half the Republicans seem to have no concept of sin. 10% are atheists and/or gay. Must be a bunch of that 30% that like him for his looks.
Moral relativism. If you double your hate of Bush, it wiill not justify voting for abortion.
Do you want me to look up how Dems vote for defense spending? Vote with our money?
Number of abortions per year: 1.37 Million Number of abortions per day: Approximately 3,700
Who's having abortions (age)?
52% of women obtaining abortions in the U.S. are younger than 25: Women aged 20-24 obtain 32% of all abortions; Teenagers obtain 20% and girls under 15 account for 1.2%.
Who's having abortions (race)?
While white women obtain 60% of all abortions, their abortion rate is well below that of minority women. Black women are more than 3 times as likely as white women to have an abortion, and Hispanic women are roughly 2 times as likely.
Who's having abortions (marital status)?
64.4% of all abortions are performed on never-married women; Married women account for 18.4% of all abortions and divorced women obtain 9.4%.
We have our weapons of mass destruction. 50% vote for abortion? All the democrats favor it. Those that have a moral problem with it decide if they want to be hypocrits or vote for McCain Palin

I am reminded of Daniel. King Nebuchadnazzer is wrong and he refused the wine/koolaid.
Nebbies approval ratings were what? 3-4 men short of 100%
If Bush's ratings had been 3%. Mike you couldn't change my mind. Nice try.

I.
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows that 29% of the nation’s voters now Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Thirty-nine percent (39%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -10. The President’s Approval Index rating is down four points over the past week and 11 points over the past month.
King Hussein seems to be racing down.
Bible says to obey the laws. Now we have a lawless leader.
Mike why is he so surrounded by corruption?
Are you deluded? Jus today he cheated out on the used car program.
