John McCain (R)

On Iraq War

"We're going to win this victory. Tragically we're going to lose American lives but it will be brief. We're going to find out massive evidence of weapons of mass destruction and we're going to find the incredible brutalities that this dictator has inflicted on the Iraqi people." (2/21/03) [1]

"Every intelligence agency in the world, including the Russian, French, including the Israeli, all had reached the same conclusion, and that was that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction." [2]
