"I believe that the Embassy should remain open because I don't believe a dictator should violate international law by starving out or isolating another person's Embassy."

"Saddam Hussein was even more brutal than Adolf Hitler."

"I think the key point on this, regarding substance, is that our allies understand this."

"The whole ploy of Saddam Hussein is to starve them out. And I think that is unconscionable."
