It Used To Be You Needed To

In Iraq, A Ruthless Dictator Cultivated Weapons Of Mass Destruction And The Means To Deliver Them. He Gave Support To Terrorists, Had An Established Relationship With Al Qaeda, And His Regime Is No More.

It Used To Be You Needed To Have A Very Large Sophisticated State Before You Could Even Have A Nuclear Weapon... Now The Technology Is Widespread Enough. It Doesn't Take Very Many People To Be Able To Cobble Together A Devastating Attack, And All It Takes Is One.

I Had A Reputation Of Being Somewhat Moderate, Partly, I Think, Because I Wasn't A 'bomb Thrower' Like Some Of My Conservative Colleagues, And Partly Because I Got Along With People All Across The Political Spectrum.

I Have Argued In The Past, And Would Again, If We Had Been Able To Pre-empt The Attacks Of 9/11 Would We Have Done It? And I Think Absolutely. We Have To Be Prepared Now To Take The Kind Of Bold Action That's Being Contemplated With Respect To Iraq In Order To Ensure That We Don't Get Hit With A Devastating Attack When The Terrorists' Organization Gets Married Up With A Rogue State That's Willing To Provide It With The Kinds Of Deadly Capabilities That Saddam Hussein Has Developed And Used Over The Years.

I Don’t Spend A Lot Of Time Thinking About My Faults.
