If active WMD programs had existed, would that have justified the debacle which proceeded in 2003? No. Such active WMD programs were not found, but it was not far-fetched to believe that they might.

He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including Al Qaeda members, though there is apparently no evidence of his involvement in the terrible events of September 11, 2001.<br /><br />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. Should he succeed in that endeavor, he could alter the political and security landscape of the Middle East, which as we know all too well affects American security.<br /><br />Now this much is undisputed.<br /><br />Hillary Clinton <br />Debate on Floor U.S. Senate !0/2/2002<br /><br />http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/1/12/435624/-<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-43686301089899920922016-02-08T17:56:40.843-05:002016-02-08T17:56:40.843-05:00Yes, "The 80's called and want their fore...Yes, "The 80's called and want their foreign policy back" was entirely off the cuff, not a pre-canned and practiced, stale joke.
