"Over the years, Iraq has worked to develop nuclear, chemical and biological weapons. During 1991 - 1994, despite Iraq's denials, U.N. inspectors discovered and dismantled a large network of nuclear facilities that Iraq was using to develop nuclear weapons. Various reports indicate that Iraq is still actively pursuing nuclear weapons capability. There is no reason to think otherwise. Beyond nuclear weapons, Iraq has actively pursued biological and chemical weapons.U.N. inspectors have said that Iraq's claims about biological weapons is neither credible nor verifiable. In 1986, Iraq used chemical weapons against Iran, and later, against its own Kurdish population. While weapons inspections have been successful in the past, there have been no inspections since the end of 1998. There can be no doubt that Iraq has continued to pursue its goal of obtaining weapons of mass destruction." -- Patty Murray, October 9, 2002

 Hillary's critics weigh attacks on Bill
Bill Clinton is more popular among Democrats than he was when he left the White House and more popular by far than his wife or any of her rivals.

But in the 1990s, as today, there were portions of the Democratic party that rankled at his leadership. The labor left was one. The congressional leadership on Capitol Hill was, at times, another. Now, almost eight years after Clinton left office, Hillary Clinton’s two leading challengers have drawn key advisors, and in some cases themes, from those precincts of the Democratic Party.
As the primary season enters the hand-to-hand combat phase, Sen. Barack Obama and former senator John Edwards face a challenge: Do they risk criticizing Bill Clinton while taking shots at his wife’s record? How do they draw voters to their visions of the future while recognizing, as Bill Clinton said this summer, that to many Democrats, “yesterday’s news was pretty good.”
“He is the single most popular political figure within the Democratic party, bar none - and this would be true in Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina,” said Clinton pollster Mark Penn. The public polls back him up: the Gallup Organization found in March that Bill Clinton is viewed favorably by 88% of Democrats, and unfavorably by just 9%.
Clinton’s rivals, Penn said, “say they want to turn the page from the last 20 years, things like that. I think people want to turn the page with the Bush administration, but they were very satisfied with the Clinton administration.”
How to deal with Clinton’s legacy is a dilemma that has hovered over the last two Democratic nominees. In this cycle, the campaigns have responded to this challenge differently. Edwards talks with increasing heat about what he sees as failures of the Clinton administration, using the catch phrase “Lincoln bedroom” to reference the fundraising scandals of the late 1990s and attacking the trademark trade deal of the Clinton years, the North American Free Trade Agreement.
“The trouble with nostalgia is that you tend to remember what you liked and forget what you didn’t,” Edwards said in New Hampshire last month.
Obama, though an aide did refer to the “Lincoln bedroom” in an exchange with the Clinton campaign earlier this year, is characteristically more oblique.
His argument is generational, as much as anything else, and his mantra is, “It’s time to turn the page.”
