chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery
capability, and his nuclear program He has also given aid,

to develop nuclear weapons." - Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY),
Oct 10, 2002

`
"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a
brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime
... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is
so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is
miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit
and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ...
So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass
destruction is real" - Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23.
