Over the past 10 months, we have learned that [deposed Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's] most senior and trusted officials can hold their tongues,

Some claim we should not have acted because the threat from [deposed Iraqi President] Saddam Hussein was not imminent, ... Terrorist enemies of our country hope to strike us with the most lethal weapons known to man, and it would be reckless in the extreme to rule out action and save our worries until the day they strike.

I can't psychoanalyze why (Iraqi President) Saddam Hussein does what he does, but I can tell you this, ... It's smart for him to stop attacking our planes because he was losing a lot of equipment. He was losing radars. He was losing missiles. And he was losing air defense guns. And he was losing command and control facilities. So, if he wants to hold on to his equipment, he should stop attacking the patrols.

If there are civilians who are dying, it is (Iraqi President) Saddam Hussein's fault.

Everybody knows what [Iraqi President] Saddam Hussein should be doing, and if he isn't doing it and shows no indication he's doing it, I think we can present a strong enough argument for the second resolution that we put down,
