McCain: Threat of Saddam Won't Diminish Until He Is Gone

FEBRUARY 2003: McCain: The Threat Posed By Saddam Hussein Will Not Diminish Until He IS Removed From Power." During a 2003 speech at the Center For Strategic And International Studies, McCain stated, The threat posed by Saddam Hussein will not diminish until he is removed from power. Disarmament by regime change must be our goal. After one war, twelve years, seventeen Security Council resolutions, various bombing campaigns, the threat of a new war, and the continuing expansion of Saddams stockpile of devastating weaponry, placing hope in containment as a means to diminish Iraqs threat to its neighbors and the world flies in the face of history and ignores the obvious consequences of abdicating to his allies now. Rather than keeping Saddam in a box, an anachronistic attachment to a once effective doctrine actually constrains the United States.
