"[While the distance between the United States and Iraq is great, Saddam Hussein's ability to use his chemical and biological weapons against us is not constrained by geography - it can be accomplished in a number of different ways - which is what makes this threat so real and persuasive. "

145 Cong. Rec. S11875-76 (Oct. 4, 1999) (statement of Sen. Feinstein).
