[Susannah]

"If Saddam Hussein fails to comply and we fail to act or we take some ambiguous third route, which gives him yet more opportunities to develop his program of weapons of mass destruction and continue to press for the release of sanctions and ignore the commitments he's made? Well, he will conclude that the international community's lost its will. He will then conclude that he can go right on doing more to build an arsenal of devastating destruction.
If we fail to respond today, Saddam and all those who would follow in his footsteps will be emboldened tomorrow. The stakes could not be higher.
Some way, someday, I guarantee you he'll use the arsenal."
-President Bill Clinton in 1998

I do wish that someone, womewhere would publish all these quotes and NOT let them die. It shows that there WAS a sense of unity among democrats and rebulicans when it came to Saddam and Iraq - andother rouge states (like north Korea, much less Iran and syria).

These quotes, which we see now and again, should be used in all marches, protests, arguments, congressional debates, etc (with proper credit to the "author") to cut through the hypocrisy and politicizing of the war and recognize WE ARE united.

Perhaps we could send these to Drudge and he can reserve a permanent place on his site for them. *shrug*

And, politics aside, the leadership of the United States is united on the issue.

Or could.... or should.... be.
