Bill Clinton on what the U.S.A. needed to do in 2003 “if Saddam rejects peace”
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. We have to defend our future from these predators of the Twenty-first Century. They’ll be all the more lethal if we allow them to build arsenals of nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and the missiles to deliver them. We simply cannot allow that to happen. There’s no more clear example of this threat than Saddam Hussein.
Bill Clinton speaking to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, February 17, 2003
