HAWKISH DEMOCRATS AND WMDs

HAWKISH DEMOCRATS AND WMDs:

Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process. The responsibility of the United States in this conflict is to eliminate weapons of mass destruction, to minimize the danger to our troops and to diminish the suffering of the Iraqi people.

— House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat, in a statement in December 1998 supporting President Clinton’s four-day bombing of Iraq.
