I believe the world would have been a lot worse off if Saddam [Hussein] were in power today.
I remember when the Cold War ended, how quickly the United States was swept by a nationalistic fervor and turned against Saddam Hussein. As soon as we lost our age-old enemy, the Soviet Union, we instantly created a new one.
The most important thing about marriage is that the man must not let the woman feel downtrodden simply because she is a woman and he is a man.
Saddam Hussein was a unique threat. And the world is better off without him in power.
It could safely be said that Iraqis are dying at a faster clip since the American-led invasion and occupation than they did during the last decade of Saddam Hussein's rule.
If he declares he has none, then we will know that Saddam Hussein is once again.
What we said publicly is that we know that Saddam Hussein has chemical weapons, he's used them; we know about his biological weapons programs; and in the nuclear equation, left to his own devices, with no fissile material, by the end of the decade, he'll have a nuclear weapon. But if fissile material is provided to Saddam Hussein, he'll have a nuclear weapon within a year, so I'd say the year is the outside timetable.
There are extensive contacts between Saddam Hussein's government and al Qaeda.
I still think the world is better off and safer without Saddam Hussein.
I believe that a nuclear Iraq can change its fundamental dynamic, affecting how others behave - toward us and toward allies such as Israel - and emboldening Saddam Hussein to believe, rightly or wrongly, that he can attack his neighbors and, because of his nuclear capability, we will hesitate.
I'm not surprised if we begin to uncover the weapons program of Saddam Hussein - because he had a weapons program.
The war against terrorism will not be finished as long as he [Saddam Hussein] is in power.
Saddam Hussein was not an Islamist. He's not a radical jihadist. He's not a radical Muslim. I mean, he was a - he was a Baathist. He was a secular - even though he professed to be a good and devout Muslim.
Since the ousting and capture of Saddam Hussein by U. S. forces, civil rights and personal freedoms have been restored in Iraq, as well as equal rights to all, not just to Saddams entourage of terrorists.
Politics is when you say you are going to do one thing while intending to do another. Then you do neither what you said nor what you intended.
We concluded that tomorrow is a moment of truth for the world. Many nations have voiced a commitment to peace and security, and now they must demonstrate that commitment to peace and security in the only effective way: by supporting the immediate and unconditional disarmament of Saddam Hussein.
If it was up to the U. N. , Saddam Hussein would still be killing his own people.
I hope the example of Saddam Hussein will give a lesson to leaders of other countries where human rights are not respected.
The old SV (Socialist Left Party) were useful idiots for the communists in Moscow. Today's SV are useful idiots for Saddam Hussein.
Saddam Hussein was a horrible man, and I am pleased he is no longer running Iraq. But the war was wrong.
