On the recordOctober 7, 2004
we as Americans have been victims of lies, deceptions, and distractions. Today's LA Times reported that Saddam Hussein did not produce or possess any weapons of mass destruction for more than a decade before the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. Last year it was said, and it has been said repeatedly, that there were weapons of mass destruction. The Iraqi regime had no formal written strategy to revise the banned programs after sanctions and no staff or infrastructure in place to do so. Mr. Speaker, more than a thousand U.S. troops have been killed and thousands more have been wounded for a bogus reason. We have broken a country, and we need billions of dollars to rebuild while we are neglecting our own needs here at home. The House leadership has been rebuked and the administration has led us in the wrong direction. A change is definitely needed.
