Quote:ON DON IMUS'S RADIO SHOW this morning, John Kerry suggested that he would not have gone to war with Iraq, knowing what we know now (no evident stocks of weapons of mass destruction): "Not under the current circumstances, not that I see. I voted on the basis of weapons of mass destruction," Kerry told Imus.

Actually, this is dangerous. This tells me that the man HAS no principles. HAS no stance. Will tell ANYONE ANYTHING they want to hear. ...and has no intestinal fortitude. Knowing what he knows now? He stood by and said he knew years ago they had them! Hindsight is ALWAYS good for the people that take no stance. He doesn't DESERVE to be the Commander in Chief of the Uniformed Services. The man is a joke.

Don't forget this!

Quote: U.S. Senate



                          Committee on Armed Services,



                        Washington, DC, October 9, 1998.


    The President,
    The White House, Washington, DC.

      Dear Mr. President: We are writing to express our concern 
    over recent developments in Iraq.

      Last February, the Senate was working on a resolution 
    supporting military action if diplomacy did not succeed in 
    convincing Saddam Hussein to comply with the United Nations 
    Security Council resolutions concerning the disclosure and 
    destruction of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction. This 
    effort was discontinued when the Iraqi government reaffirmed 
    its acceptance of all relevant Security Council resolutions 
    and reiterated its willingness to cooperate with the United 
    Nations Special Commission (UNSCOM) and the International 
    Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in a Memorandum of Understanding 
    signed by its Deputy Prime Minister and the United Nations 
    Secretary General.

      Despite a brief interval of cooperation, however, Saddam 
    Hussein has failed to live up to his commitments. On August 
    5, Iraq suspended all cooperation with UNSCOM and the IAEA, 
    except some limited monitoring activity.

      As UNSCOM Executive Chairman Richard Butler told us in a 
    briefing for all Senators in March, the fundamental historic 
    reality is that Iraq has consistently sought to limit, 
    mitigate, reduce and, in some cases, defeat the Security 
    Council's resolutions by a variety of devices.

      We were gratified by the Security Council's action in 
    unanimously passing Resolution 1194 on September 9. By 
    condemning Iraq's decision to suspend cooperation with UNSCOM 
    and the IAEA, by demanding that Iraq rescind that decision 
    and cooperate fully with UNSCOM and the IAEA, by deciding not 
    to conduct the sanctions' review scheduled for October 1998 
    and not to conduct any future such reviews until UNSCOM and 
    the IAEA, report that they are satisfied that they have been 
    able to exercise the full range of activities provided for in 
    their mandates, and by acting under Chapter VII of the United 
    Nations Charter, the Security Council has sent an unambiguous 
    message to Saddam Hussein.

      We are skeptical, however, that Saddam Hussein will take 
    heed of this message even though it is from a unanimous 
    Security Council. Moreover, we are deeply concerned that 
    without the intrusive inspections and monitoring by UNSCOM 
    and the IAEA, Iraq will be able, over time, to reconstitute 
    its weapons of mass destruction programs.

      In light of these developments, we urge you, after 
    consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. 
    Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, 
    if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraq 
    sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's 
    refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs.


          Sincrely,


          Carl Levin, Joe Lieberman, Frank R. Lautenberg, Dick 
          Lugar, Kit Bond, Jon Kyl, Chris Dodd, John McCain, Kay 
          Bailey Hutchison, Alfonse D'Amato, Bob Kerrey, Pete V. 
          Domenici, Dianne Feinstein, Barbara A. Mikulski.
          Thomas Daschle, John Breaux, Tim Johnson, Daniel K. 
          Inouye, Arlen Specter, James Inhofe, Strom Thurmond, 
          Mary L. Landrieu, Wendell Ford, John F. Kerry, Chuck 
          Grassley, Jesse Helms, Rick Santorum.

Depends on which day you ask him.
