"Even today, Iraq is not nearly disarmed. Based on highly credible intelligence, UNSCOM [the U.N. weapons inspectors] suspects that Iraq still has biological agents like anthrax, botulinum toxin, and clostridium perfringens in sufficient quantity to fill several dozen bombs and ballistic missile warheads, as well as the means to continue manufacturing these deadly agents. Iraq probably retains several tons of the highly toxic VX substance, as well as sarin nerve gas and mustard gas. This agent is stored in artillery shells, bombs, and ballistic missile warheads. And Iraq retains significant dual-use industrial infrastructure that can be used to rapidly reconstitute large-scale chemical weapons production." -- Ex-Un Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter in 1998

By Kenneth P. Vogel POLITICO - Hillary Clinton is evoking one of the darkest episodes in modern Democratic party history in her effort to salvage her bid for the party’s presidential nomination.As the New York senator presses party officials to count the unsanctioned Florida and Michigan primaries, she is warning that doing otherwise would smack of the resolution of the 2000 presidential election in Florida and provoke a November backlash against Democrats. “We still have nightmares about 2000 and what happened in that election - it was wrong,” she told hundreds of supporters packed into a retirement community clubhouse in this South Florida city of 90,000 residents. “Many of us believe that the candidate who got fewer votes was inaugurated president. And we all know that - of all states - this state should have extra attention to make sure your votes are counted.” Sunrise is located in Broward County, one of the three heavily Democratic counties where Democrats allege votes were wrongly excluded, contributing to then-Texas Gov. George W. Bush’s 537-vote Florida victory over then-Vice President Al Gore—an outcome which put Bush in the White House and left Democrats embittered. Clinton on Wednesday made stops in the other two counties as well: Miami-Dade and Palm Beach. In each, she fanned the flames of outrage, still burning bright after eight years. And she tried to harness them to pressure the Democratic National Committee to recognize the results of the Florida and Michigan primaries. She won both (frontrunner Barack Obama wasn’t on the ballot in Michigan), but the DNC stripped the states of their delegates for holding primaries earlier this year than the party wanted. A DNC panel will meet May 31 to decide what to do about the states. And Clinton on Wednesday asked her supporters to sign a petition on her website (“and while you’re there, think about making a contribution,” she said in Sunrise) urging the committee to seat the states’ delegates.That result, which would cut into Obama’s leads in pledged delegates and popular vote, is considered unlikely. But Clinton also hopes the attention on the disqualified Florida and Michigan votes—two key big states—could give uncommitted superdelegates pause before backing Obama. “We believe the popular vote is the truest expression of your will,” Clinton told a crowd at another retirement community in Boca Raton. “We believe it today, just as we believed it back in 2000,” she said. “We know it was wrong to penalize voters for the decisions of state officials back in the 2000 presidential election,” Clinton added. “It would be wrong to do so for decisions made in our nominating process,” which she said “is just as important as having a vote in the presidential election on Election Day count.”
