Marco Rubio’s claim that at the time of the March 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq that Saddam Hussein was ‘in open violation’ of U.N. resolutions and that the international community refused to act is completely false. The Iraqi government had in fact been in full compliance with UN Security Council resolutions regarding the elimination of their chemical and biological weapons, their chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons programs, their long-range missiles, and other proscribed weapons and weapons systems and were allowing United Nations inspectors unfettered access to confirm they had done so."

			At a 2016 last Republican debate, he attempted to justify George W. Bush invading Iraq: “No matter what you want to say about weapons of mass destruction, Saddam Hussein was in violation of UN resolutions, in open violation, and the world wouldn’t do anything about it, and George W. Bush enforced what the international community refused to do.”

	Rubio has evolved on the issue of climate change, running toward the right wing, climate change denying faction of the Republican Party as his national prominence has grown. In 2007, Rubio, then a member of the Florida Legislature said about the issue of climate change. "Global warming, dependence on foreign sources of fuel, and capitalism have come together to create opportunities for us that were unimaginable just a few short years ago...Florida has the opportunity to pursue bold energy policies, not just because they are good for our environment, but because people can actually make money at doing it. This nation, and ultimately the world, is headed towards emission caps and energy diversification." ~~2007 [~~[http://tbo.com/ap/politics/rubio-questions-climate-change-83470]]		Rubio has evolved on the issue of climate change, running toward the right wing, climate change denying faction of the Republican Party as his national prominence has grown.
