I have been here 14 years, and this is the worst partisan bickering I have seen from the Democrat leadership since I have been here. And when my colleagues ask us to be bipartisan, I think you need to look inward at what has happened on this House floor recently. They say the President overstated. But look at what Dr. Kay said. Liberal Democrats will not tell you what Dr. Kay actually said that Saddam Hussein and Iraq was even more dangerous from what we have found out since we went in there than we thought prior to the war. More dangerous. He said that any reasonable person, including any country, would know that Saddam Hussein was working on weapons of mass destruction; that he had them, used them against his own people, and would feel that he still had weapons of mass destruction. So when I hear from the left that the President overstated, it's not so; and it makes me mad to point fingers like that. Evidence of weapons of mass destruction going to Syria. Dr. Kay. Any reasonable person would believe WMD.
