And we oppose a uniquely dangerous regime that possesses the weapons of mass murder, has used the weapons of mass murder, and could supply those weapons to terror groups. The dictator in Iraq has had a long history of aggression and a deep hatred of America. The United States government, and once again the United Nations Security Council, share a determination: the Iraqi regime must not produce or possess chemical, biological or nuclear weapons. Iraq pledged to disarm more than a decade ago. It's been a decade of systematic deception, unmet obligations, unpunished violations.Those games are now over. Saddam Hussein will fully disarm and prove that he has done so, or America will lead a coalition to disarm him.
This is an urgent task for America and the world, because the events of September the 11th clearly demonstrate that a threat that gathers on the other side of the earth can bring suffering to the American homeland. The danger from Iraq is clear and it's multiplied a thousand times over by the possibility of chemical or biological or nuclear attack. The time to confront this threat is before it arrives, not the day after.
Thank you for posting this. It's about time we had a president who will not stand for a dictatorship regime that endangers us all. President Bush will go down in history as one of our finest presidents of all time.
Well, this article seems to indicate the exact opposite. Add the Iraq's leadership complete incompetence to their lack of WMD's and... what justifies spending $70 billions of a couple hundred of dead Americans?
Iraq was clearly not a danger to us or anyone else. Iraq could not discipline a few thousand Kurds on their own territory. Okay, maybe they did execute a few prostitutes but... would that be why 200 Americans had to die?
