Elections Are About The Future.

We Have So Much Room For Improvement. Every Aspect Of Our Lives Must Be Subjected To An Inventory... Of How We Are Taking Responsibility.

The Impact Of Climate Change Is A Tremendous Risk To The Security And Well-being Of Our Countries.

I Come To This Debate, Mr. Speaker, As One At The End Of 10 Years In Office On The Permanent Select Committee On Intelligence, Where Stopping The Proliferation Of Weapons Of Mass Destruction Was One Of My Top Priorities. I Applaud The President On Focusing On This Issue And On Taking The Lead To Disarm Saddam Hussein... Others Have Talked About This Threat That Is Posed By Saddam Hussein. Yes, He Has Chemical Weapons, He Has Biological Weapons, He Is Trying To Get Nuclear Weapons.

Saddam Hussein Has Been Engaged In The Development Of Weapons Of Mass Destruction Technology Which Is A Threat To Countries In The Region And He Has Made A Mockery Of The Weapons Inspection Process.

My Evaluation Of President George W. Bush Is Nothing Personal. He's A Lovely Person. Sadly, I Believe He Will Be Remembered For Taking Us Into War Unnecessarily At The Cost Of Thousands Of American Lives, Injuries To Tens Of Thousands Of Our Troops, And Trillions Of Dollars To Our Economy - Enormous Costs To Our Reputation, And Undermining The Capability Of Our Military To Protect Us. That, I Think, Will Be The Overwhelming Issue For Which His Presidency Will Be Remembered: Extensive Damage To Our Country.
