"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

 The Return of HillaryCare
She’s back. Thirteen years after “HillaryCare,” her failed one-woman crusade for universal healthcare coverage, became a byword for political overreach, Sen. Hillary Clinton is in the health care business once again. On Monday, Clinton unveiled the “American Health Choices Plan,” her latest bid to enact universal coverage by expanding government control over health care. Meet the new Hillary Clinton, same as the old Hillary Clinton.

The style has changed, to be sure. In laying out her new plan, Clinton stressed profusely that it marked a break from the past. “It is not a government takeover of health care,” Clinton lectured earlier this week. “There will be no new bureaucracy.” So far from limiting consumer choices, her new plan “expands personal choice and keeps costs down.” In other words, it’s nothing like the plan that Clinton controversially championed as a First Lady in 1993. That plan, conceived in an unwieldy 1,342-pages and ultimately aborted by a Democratic Congress, would have created a vast new government bureaucracy in a National Health Board while forcing all businesses to provide employees with coverage through government-administered plans. The new plan, by contrast, is all about “choice,” a word the senator employed at least 20 times in her Monday remarks. What’s not to like?
A great deal, actually. Start with the so-called “individual mandate.” This provision of Clinton’s plan would require all Americans to purchase health insurance. Refusal is not option: fail to follow the government’s orders and you will be subject to penalties. If you think this sounds suspiciously like Clinton’s old plan, you haven’t been properly listening to spinmeisters. What makes the new plan different, they say, is that small businesses will no longer be punished for failing to provide insurance. Instead, they will be encouraged to do so through tax credits. Large businesses will still be required to provide insurance.
