In a dramatic moment on November 16, 1997, Cohen appeared on ABC News's This Week with a five-pound bag of sugar to illustrate the threat posed by Saddam Hussein's weapons. "This amount of anthrax could be spread over a city—let's say the size of Washington," Cohen said. "It would destroy at least half the population of that city."
On August 25, 2006, William Cohen appeared on Fox & Friends First primarily to promote his new novel, but towards the end of the broadcast declared the following while being interviewed by Brian Kilmeade: "I think there should be a commitment to universal service. I think that only a few people are really committed to this war against terrorism... We ought to have a real call to national service to commit ourselves to some form of public service ... to put us on a war footing mentality".
You have made some great points and have a great archive of info of the Clintoon-Saddam-Sec Defense Cohen era. Thanks for bringing it up.
