I happened to come across the “Crossfire” show on CNN when i was channel surfing, and Richard Gephardt, a Democratic congressman from Missouri, was discussing whether the US should attack Iraq.

The following are actual quotes from him:
“Saddam Hussein is a problem. He has not complied with U.N. regulations and resolutions.”“He has flouted lots of U.N. resolutions in the past.”
“This is about Saddam Hussein’s flouting, flouting over a long period of time, a whole lot of U.N. resolutions. We have tried to have inspectors there. President Clinton tried to have inspectors there. He finally kicked them out. We have asked a number of times for them to get back in. He doesn’t want any part of it.”
“This is a guy who has a record of killing family members, killing lots of his own population, tearing down villages, running tanks over people. ”
“This is a bad guy. He is not playing by the same set of rules that the rest of the world has to play by. And I think it is reasonable to ask him to do what the world has asked him to do, but we cannot allow to have weapons of mass destruction, to prepare more weapons of mass destruction for use in the region or against other countries, including us.”
