I just wanted to remind my colleagues what some of their Democrat Members in the other body said. Here is a Member from Indiana, October 3, 2002: ``Saddam Hussein possesses chemical, biological weapons and, if events are allowed to run their own course, will some day possess nuclear weapons.'' Here is another Senator from California, a woman. My colleagues get the choice which of the two: ``I believe that Saddam Hussein rules by terror and has squirreled away stores of biological and chemical weapons.'' That was October 10, 2002. Here is a Senator from West Virginia, one with a very common name: ``The people of the United States and the rest of the world are at risk as long as Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction,'' March 18, 2003. And here is another one from a Senator from Maryland: ``Over the last 12 years he's ignored U.N. resolutions and embargoes and has illegal chemical and biological weapons . . .'' Many, many leading Democrat liberals were in support of our going into Iraq in the name of weapons of mass destruction.
