“In fact, five years ago, after Saddam ejected the UN inspectors, John McCain and I gave up on containment and introduced the Iraqi Liberation Act, which, when it became law, made a change of regime in Baghdad official US policy.

“The essential facts are known. We know of the weapons in Saddam's possession: chemical, biological, and nuclear in time. We know of his unequaled willingness to use them. We know his history. His invasions of his neighbors. His dreams of achieving hegemonic control over the Arab world. His record of anti-American rage. His willingness to terrorize, to slaughter, to suppress his own people and others. We need not stretch to imagine nightmare scenarios in which Saddam makes common cause with the terrorists who want to kill us Americans and destroy our way of life.” PeopleKnowsWorldWayWantNeedsFactsUseDreamCausesCommonKnownRecordsImagineAchieveEssentialsWeaponsDemocraticIraqPossessionRageNeighborNuclearTerroristNightmareWillingnessChemicalsSaddamInvasionScenariosSlaughterArab WorldAnti-american Author:Joe Lieberman
