WASHINGTON, DC Reps. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) and Ron Paul (R-TX) today introduced legislation to repeal the Iraq Use of Force Resolution passed by Congress and signed into law by the President last fall. Following is DeFazios statement: I heard no new evidence today from Secretary Powells address to the United Nations, that would convince me that military action in Iraq is necessary to improve security of Americans.
Americans want the President to lay a clear case for immediate military action in Iraq, but the Administrations message keeps changing- six months ago, their case hinged on regime change, three months ago it was Saddam thwarting inspections, three weeks ago it was possible possession of chemical weapons, today its tenuous terrorist links. If the case was clear, it would have been clear from day one.
Our nations immediate threat is still Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda terrorist network. We have full knowledge of North Koreas equally rapidly developing nuclear weapons program under the control of an equally diabolical leader. Theres well-published accounts of several Mid-east governments aiding and funding known terrorists. Of Americas imminent threats, Saddam Hussein is much lower on the list.
Saddam Hussein is a brutal untrustworthy tyrant, but he is being contained, and we should allow weapons inspectors to continue their work.....
