Liberals, who said this?

Question

I have absolutely no belief he will (Saddam disarm). This is something I have followed for more than a decade. If he were serious about disarming, he would have been much more forthcoming. There may be progress, he may be destroying the Samud missiles, but there is no accounting for the chemical and biological stocks. I just respectfully disagree about the proximate cause of any action that might be taken is. I also believe for now nearly 20 years, the principle reason why women and children have suffered in Iraq is because of his leadership.

The real question is how does someone bring about a disarmament of someone with such a proven track record with a commitment, if not obsession, with weapons of mass destruction?

This is not a Republican.

It was a very prominent Democrat politican

Answer 1

I guess bill clinton- here's a few more quotes
"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line." - President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998
"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program." - President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998
"Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal
here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face." - Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998
"[W]e 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 Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs."
- Letter to President Clinton, signed by Sens. Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others Oct. 9, 1998
"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." - Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998
"Hussein has . chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies." - Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of St ate, Nov. 10, 1999
"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandated of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them." - Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002
"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country." - Al Gore, Sept.. 23, 2002
"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power." - Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002
"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing
weapons of mass destruction." - Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002
"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force-- if necessary-- to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security." - Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002
"He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do" Rep. - Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002
"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." - Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002

Answer 2

Don't know who said it, but this part:

"The real question is how does someone bring about a disarmament of someone with such a proven track record with a commitment, if not obsession, with weapons of mass destruction?"

How? Stop the U.S. from selling them to him!

As they had been doing in the Years previous to turning on him.

Answer 3

I'm not sure what your point is.
Who sent our soldiers into battle? BUSH.
Who has killed more Iraqis than Saddam? BUSH.
What matters is not who said what. What matters is who used faulty intelligence to convince both democrats and republicans alike, that there was a legitimate reason to invade a sovereign state. THE BUSH / CHANEY WHITEHOUSE

Answer 4

Who cares? It's not like Liberals think Saddam was a great guy.

Answer 5

I think it was Samuel L. Jackson.
