On the recordOctober 20, 2003
Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process. All over America there are candidates running for President on the other ticket claiming that President Bush lied about weapons of mass destruction in 2002 in Iraq. Here, 4 years earlier, our current minority leader is telling the American people her assessment of the situation. The question is whether George W. Bush, having spent a year or two in the White House, should have known more than leading Congress members 6 years into the process.
