"687 - directed the destruction of Iraq's stockpiles of chemical weapons. Saddam Hussein violated this resolution ... and the verified existence of such chemical weapons proves that. In part because of such violations, we voted to authorize the use of military force in Iraq."
How many have forgotten that the reason we went to Iraq wasn't because he was PRODUCING WMD's, but because he REFUSED to destroy the ones he had and hid them so they could be used later?
It didn't matter that they were 'old', it mattered that he HAD THEM!
W said yesterday that there were no WMDs.
