On
Iraq:
"The risk of doing nothing, the risk of hoping that Saddam
Hussein changes his mind and becomes a gentle soul, the risk that somehow inaction
will make the world safer, is a risk I'm not willing to take for the American
people." "I
hope we don't have to go to war. But if we go to war we will disarm Iraq. And
if we go to war there will be a regime change. And replacing this cancer inside
of Iraq will be a government that represents the rights of all the people, a government
which represents the voices of the Shia and the Sunni and the Kurds." On
the United Nations:
"No matter what the whip count is, we're calling
for the vote. We want to see people stand up and say what their opinion is about
Saddam Hussein and the utility of the United Nations Security Council. ... It's
time for people to show their cards, let the world know where they stand when
it comes to Saddam." |
