“I believe Saddam Hussein, Mr. Speaker, who in 1991 after being soundly defeated in the Persian Gulf War admitted to the U.N. agency responsible for monitoring the cease fire that he possessed 10,000 nerve gas warheads, 1,500 chemical weapons, and 412 tons of chemical weapons with 25 long-range missiles. Even President Clinton when he bombed Baghdad in 1998 said he did so to "attack Iraq's nuclear, chemical and biological programs in its capacity to threaten its neighbors." As a State Department official told the Committee on International Relations last week, there was no change in the assessment of the WMD program from the Clinton administration to the Bush administration. Those weapons were there. The program was there. The President led America aright in this war.”
