Hillary made a good argument. No wonder Congress voted to go to war against Iraq.Hillary Clinton Iraq War Vote Speech- Oct. 10, 2002 | Archives of Women's Political Communication (iastate.edu) 3-10-02Hillary Clinton Iraq War Vote Speech- Oct. 10, 2002Hillary Rodham ClintonMarch 10, 2002— Washington, D.C.CATEGORIES: FLOOR SPEECH - U.S. SENATE, SPEECHESIn the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort and sanctuary to terrorists including Al Qaeda members. 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. This is a very difficult vote. This is probably the hardest decision I've ever had to make. Any vote that might lead to war should it be hard, but I cast it with conviction.
