It's on cnn.com. Here is a little excerpt which illustrates very well the fundamental difference between his administration and the present one.

'I think the main thing is we should have moved more quickly to internationalize it. And we should have moved early on to let the United Nations have more say in the political decisions, opening the contracts up to people other than Americans and their allies and basically, say, "OK, Saddam's gone now. We need everybody's help to make it right.'

Yup - inaction versus action.

Doormat diplomacy, in other words. One of the few things Clinton could be said to actually believe in.
You are in Soviet Russia. It is dark. Grue is likely to be eaten by YOU!

There is "an unholy axis of terrorists, drug traffickers and organized international criminals. There is no more clear example of this threat than Saddam Hussein."
Bill Clinton


"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members. It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."
Hillary Clinton

"We know that Saddam Hussein has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country."
Al Gore

"I want to be real clear about the connection with terrorists. I've seen a lot of evidence on this. There are extensive contacts between Saddam Hussein's government and al Qaeda and other terrorist groups."
Joe Lieberman

"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein."
John Kerry

"There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has invigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of an elicit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies."
Sen. Bob Graham D, FL

"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years ... We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction."
Sen. Jay Rockefeller D, WV

Democrats: The party of shameless hypocrisy. Calling others liars for saying what they themselves have said, and calling others criminals for taking actions they themselves urged in no uncertain terms needed to be taken.
