edition ideas late president wolf
What the president is insisting upon are not new ideas, ... Late Edition with Wolf Blitzer.
chew effective irrelevant issues largely order question taking
very effective in taking a question and then elaborating on issues that are largely irrelevant to the question in order to chew up the clock.
country strong america
We need to have a strong defense focused on areas that are in the greatest vulnerability. I have been very concerned about America's 361 seaports as a point in which terrorist activities and materials could be brought into the country.
years two lasts
I have had national security background, 10 years on the Intelligence Committee, the last two years as chair.
needs investment humans
We need to make a greater investment in human intelligence.
war successful iraq
I had earlier concluded that a war with Iraq would be a distraction from the successful and expeditious completion of our aims in Afghanistan. Now I had come to question whether the White House was telling the truth.
crush white priorities
The White House was signaling that the threat posed by Saddam Hussein was of such urgency that it had priority over the crushing of al Qaeda.
military war responsibility
We ought to recognize that we have an offensive responsibility to take the war to the terrorists where they are. That responsibility has waned in the last year as military and intelligence resources were withdrawn from Afghanistan and Pakistan to be used in Iraq.
thinking wmd mass-destruction
We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction.
war president attention
The president, clearly as a result of the war and the afterglow of the war, is in a time of great attention.
war listening information
During the Cold War, we gathered information by listening to the Soviets, taking pictures of the Soviets, and we allowed our human intelligence to decline.
war iraq president
This president has been reluctant to hold anybody accountable. No one was held accountable after September the 11th. Nobody's been held accountable after the clear flaws in intelligence leading up to the war in Iraq.
war iraq wmd
There is no doubt that . Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies.
