On the recordDecember 6, 2001
I say to the distinguished majority leader, so everyone within the sound of his voice recognizes this is not something we are trying to drum up for any reason other than the seriousness of it, I direct the Senator to today's newspaper--it is in all the newspapers--where the Ambassador from the Taliban to Pakistan said that any weapons the Taliban have they would use, including nuclear. He is not speaking for al-Qaida. If the Taliban, which we recognize as bad people and bad leaders, are willing to do that, will the Senator acknowledge that al-Qaida would be willing to do that, and more?
