On the recordJanuary 30, 2003
It seems to me what Senator Kennedy put forward is what many in the press have put forward, which is really a change of expectations and putting up, I would argue, the straw man; that is, it is our obligation to show Saddam is not in compliance by finding a weapon of mass destruction; the fact we haven't found one is somehow a breach on our part, or a problem; and a level of evidence we haven't been able to meet. Of course, just the opposite is true. As the Senator from Arizona just read, it is his obligation to prove he is in compliance, not our obligation to prove he is not in compliance.
