Iraq's WMD Intelligence
Senator Robert C. Byrd in the Nation -- June 5, 2003
Senator Byrd delivered these remarks on the Senate floor on June 5, 2003.
With each passing day, the questions surrounding Iraq's missing weapons of mass destruction take on added urgency. Where are the massive stockpiles of VX, mustard, and other nerve agents that we were told Iraq was hoarding? Where are the thousands of liters of botulinim toxin? Wasn't it the looming threat to America posed by these weapons that propelled the United States into war with Iraq? Isn't this the reason American military personnel were called upon to risk their lives in combat?
