…or a Democrat is in the White House and tells them that WMD represent an “grave” threat they are to our national security. You know, like back in 1998. Here is Sweetness & Light with a reminder of who said what,
“One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line.” â?? President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998 CNN
“If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraqâ??s weapons of mass destruction program.” â?? President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998 CNN
“Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face.” â?? Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998 USIA
“He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983.” â?? Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb 18, 1998 USIA
and let’s not forget John FN Kerry,
“[I[t is something we knowâ??for instance, Saddam Hussein has used weapons of mass destruction against his own people, and there is some evidence of their efforts to try to secure these kinds of weapons and even test them.” September 23, 2001
Anyway, here it is.
