We Need To Have A Strong Defense

I Had Earlier Concluded That A War With Iraq Would Be A Distraction From The Successful And Expeditious Completion Of Our Aims In Afghanistan. Now I Had Come To Question Whether The White House Was Telling The Truth.

There Is No Doubt That . Saddam Hussein Has Reinvigorated His Weapons Programs. Reports Indicate That Biological, Chemical And Nuclear Programs Continue Apace And May Be Back To Pre-gulf War Status. In Addition, Saddam Continues To Redefine Delivery Systems And Is Doubtless Using The Cover Of A Licit Missile Program To Develop Longer-range Missiles That Will Threaten The United States And Our Allies.

The President, Clearly As A Result Of The War And The Afterglow Of The War, Is In A Time Of Great Attention.

Its Fundamentally Unfair To Have So Much Of The Tax Relief Go To So Few. And It Is A 10-year Tax Plan Rather Than One, As Mine, Focused On The Next Two Years, Which In My Opinion Is The Critical Time To Jumpstart The Economy.

I Consider My Voice To Be A Centrist Moderate Voice Among The Nine Democratic Candidates.
