Inhofe: Democrats voted for national security 20 something percent of the time. Republicans 80 something percent of the time.
(He had exact percentages but I missed them)
Inhofe: President Bush inherited a recession. He also inherited international challenges. In Iraq - the oil for food scandal.
Inhofe: After the first Gulf War, I went to Kuwait and met with a prominent Kuwaiti. Iraqis didn't know the war was over. They were still burning oil fields.
The Kuwaiti found that Hussein had used his home for Iraqi troops and his daughter's room was used as a torture room. There were ears and body parts in that girl's bedroom. (Inhofe was there with them when they found their house in that condition).
Inhofe talking about babies with their eyes gouged out and heads bashed against a wall. The only reason we went to Iraq wasn't WMD.
Inhofe:
Former General in Iraqi Army I've met with, named Sada. He's written a book Saddam's Secret. He tells us that WMD were taken to Syria.
We knew there were WMD because Saddam killed over 200,000 people with chemical weapons. What was important were the things we knew when we went into Iraq.
The three major terrorist training camps were located in Iraq. We broke those camps.
The president inherited:
downgraded military
national security challenge
international terrorism
recession
Listing terroist acts in the 90's.
Inhofe:
The Clinton administration's response to those terrorist attacks was cruise missile strikes during the Lewinsky scandal so no one paid attention to the strikes.
