Bill Clinton
"As a candidate for any office, whether it be the state attorney
general or the president, Bill Clinton showed incredible energy
and great personal appeal. As chief executive, he showed a deep
and far- ranging knowledge of public policy, a great compassion
for people in need, and the forward-looking spirit that Americans
like in a president.
Bill Clinton could always see a better day ahead and Americans
knew he was working hard to bring that day closer. Over eight
years it was clear that Bill Clinton loved the job of the
presidency. He filled this house with energy and joy. He's a man
of enthusiasm and warmth, who could make a compelling case and
effectively advance the causes that drew him to public service."

Weapons Of Mass Destruction
"Right now, Iraq is expanding and improving
facilities that were used for the production of
biological weapons.Iraq has made several attempts to
buy high-strength aluminum tubes used to enrich
uranium for a nuclear weapon."
- George W. Bush, in a speech to the United Nations
General Assembly, September 12, 2002
"The Iraqi regime possesses biological and chemical
weapons. The Iraqi regime is building the facilities
necessary to make more biological and chemical weapons." -
- George W. Bush, in the Rose Garden,
on Sept. 26, 2002
"It possesses and produces chemical and biological
weapons. It is seeking nuclear weapons, and
surveillance photos reveal that the regime is
rebuilding facilities that it had used to produce
chemical and biological weapons."
-- George W. Bush, in a speech in Cincinnati,
Oct. 7, 2002
"Saddam Hussein has chosen to build and keep these
weapons despite international sanctions, U.N. demands,
and isolation from the civilized world."
-- George W. Bush, Oct. 7, 2002
"Our intelligence officials estimate that Saddam
Hussein had the materials to produce as much as 500
tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent."
- George W. Bush, State of the Union address,
January 28, 2003
"We have sources that tell us that Saddam Hussein
recently authorized Iraqi field commanders to use
chemical weapons -- the very weapons the dictator tells
us he does not have."
- George Bush, February 8, 2003
"Intelligence gathered by this and other governments
leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to
possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons
ever devised."
- George Bush, March 17, 2003
"We are learning more as we interrogate or have
discussions with Iraqi scientists and people within the
Iraqi structure, that perhaps he destroyed some,
perhaps he dispersed some. And so we will find them."
- George Bush, April 24, 2003
"We'll find them. It'll be a matter of time to do
so."
- George Bush, May 3, 2003
"I'm not surprised if we begin to uncover the
weapons program of Saddam Hussein -- because he had a
weapons program."
- George W. Bush, May 6, 2003
Our nation enters this conflict reluctantly. Yet
our purpose is sure. The people of the United
States and our friends and allies will not live
at the mercy of an outlaw regime that threatens
the peace with weapons of mass murder.
President Bush
March 19, 2003, address to the nation.
The dictator of Iraq has got weapons of
mass destruction. He has used weapons of mass
destruction. He can't stand America and what
we stand for. He can't stand our friends and allies.
President Bush
Jan. 22, 2003, speech in St. Louis.
It's important for our fellow Americans to
understand that, when we're talking about Saddam
Hussein, we're talking about a man who said he
has had no weapons of mass destruction, yet we
believe has weapons of mass destruction....a man
who has not only had weapons of mass destruction,
but he's used weapons of mass destruction. ...
He's a threat and he's a danger.
President Bush
Dec. 3, 2002, speech in New Orleans.
Today this regime likely maintains stockpiles of
chemical and biological agents, and is improving
and expanding facilities capable of producing
chemical and biological weapons. Today Saddam
Hussein has the scientists and infrastructure
for a nuclear weapons program, and has illicitly
sought to purchase the equipment needed to enrich
uranium for a nuclear weapon. Should his regime
acquire fissile material, it would be able to
build a nuclear weapon within a year.
