Political Quotes

“I think we firmly established that the record clearly outlines that, for the last decade and more, Iraq has been identified as a terrorist regime, dangerous to its neighbors, its own people and the rest of the world. As a matter of fact, I think in one of the quotes that the gentleman went through, then-Senator Al Gore attacked the previous Bush administration for not doing enough to rein in Saddam Hussein and Iraq.

The intelligence was there. The President responded. And the Iraqi people, as the gentleman and I have found out as we have gone over there, the Iraqi people are better off and are thankful that Saddam has been removed from power and that they can move and move forward in building a free and democratic Iraq.”
