The bottom line with Iraq remains, and always has been, that in March
2003 Saddam had failed to comply with his disarmament obligations under
UNSC 1441, his "final opportunity to comply."

Here's what the UN was saying at the time:


"Iraq appears not to have come to a genuine acceptance -- not even
today -- of the disarmament, which was demanded of it and which it
needs to carry out to win the confidence of the world and to live
in peace."

    Dr. Hans Blix, Chief UN Weapons Inspector
    Addressing the UN Security Council
    January 27, 2003

Please read John Edwards' US Senate floor statement on Iraq and WMD:
 

Floor Statement by John Edwards

IRAQI DICTATOR MUST GO
(Senate - September 12, 2002)

As a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, I firmly believe
that the issue of Iraq is not about politics. It's about national
security. We know that for at least 20 years, Saddam Hussein has
obsessively sought weapons of mass destruction through every means
available. We know that he has chemical and biological weapons today.
He has used them in the past, and he is doing everything he can to
build more. Each day he inches closer to his longtime goal of nuclear
capability -- a capability that could be less than a year away.

I believe that Saddam Hussein's Iraqi regime represents a clear threat
to the United States, to our allies, to our interests around the world,
and to the values of freedom and democracy we hold dear.

Saddam has proven his willingness to act irrationally and brutally against
his neighbors and against his own people. Iraq's destructive capacity has
the potential to throw the entire Middle East into chaos, and poses a mortal
threat to our vital ally, Israel.

What's more, the terrorist threat against America is all too clear. Thousands
of terrorist operatives around the world would pay anything to get their hands
on Saddam's arsenal, and there is every possibility that he could turn his
weapons over to these terrorists. No one can doubt that if the terrorists of
September 11th had had weapons of mass destruction, they would have used them.
On September 12, 2002, we can hardly ignore the terrorist threat, and the
serious danger that Saddam would allow his arsenal to be used in aid of terror.

Iraq has continued to develop its arsenal in defiance of the collective will
of the international community, as expressed through the United Nations Security
Council. It is violating the terms of the cease-fire that ended the Gulf War and
ignoring as many as 16 UN Security Council resolutions – including 11 resolutions
concerning Iraq's efforts to develop weapons of mass destruction.

These UN resolutions are not unilateral American demands. They involve obligations
Iraq has undertaken to the international community. By ignoring them, Saddam
Hussein is undermining the credibility of the United Nations, openly violating
international law, and making a mockery of the very idea of international collective
action which is so important to the United States and our allies.

The time has come for decisive action. With our allies, we must do whatever is
necessary to guard against the threat posed by an Iraq armed with weapons of
mass destruction, and under the thumb of Saddam Hussein.

Two cheers for Edwards at the time---or at least his intern who wrote it.

It was just grand up until the last two paragraphs.

Athena, this last paragraph?

"The path of confronting Saddam is full of hazards. But the path of
inaction is far more dangerous. This week, a week where we remember the
sacrifice of thousands of innocent Americans made on 9-11, the choice
could not be starker. Had we known that such attacks were imminent, we
surely would have used every means at our disposal to prevent them and
take out the plotters. We cannot wait for such a terrible event – or, if
weapons of mass destruction are used, one far worse – to address the clear
and present danger posed by Saddam Hussein's Iraq."

If you want more proof that the Clinton Administration was convinced that Saddam had WMD's, revisit "Operation Desert Fox"

http://ussneverdock.blogspot.com/2004/07/operation-desert-fox-degrading-iraqs.html

MISSION GOALS: To degrade Saddam Hussein's ability to make and to use weapons of mass destruction.

One hour into the mission Clinton addressed the nation thusly...

"Saddam Hussein must not be allowed to threaten his neighbors or
the world with nuclear arms, poison gas or biological weapons,"
Clinton said. The Iraqi dictator has used these weapons against
his neighbors and his own people, he said, and "left unchecked,
Saddam Hussein will use these terrible weapons again."

I mean, in order to "use these terrible weapons again", you have to have them. Right?

Athena

Ahh, no, the last paragraph you had originally posted
