Whether weapons exist in iraq, saddam hussein or post-saddam hussein, it is a serious enough issue that require that we continue to go and make sure that iraq does not have weapons.

There is no question that iraq possesses biological and chemical weapons and that he [saddam hussein] seeks to acquire additional weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons. that is not in debate. i also agree with president bush that saddam hussein is a threat to peace and must be disarmed, to quote president bush directly.

It remains our policy to change the regime until such time as the regime changes itself. so far, we cannot be sure that he is cooperating or he [saddam hussein] is acting in a way that could give us comfort, or should give the international community comfort, that he is giving up his weapons of mass destruction. he continues to give us statements that suggest he is not in possession of weapons of mass destruction when we know he is.
