		First, Iraq was to be disarmed of all nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons and the means of manufacturing them and was prohibited from holding, acquiring or manufacturing missiles which could fly further than 150 kilometers.
		Iraq is in such a position of non-compliance today, yet certain permanent members of the Security Council appear unprepared to insist upon compliance with the resolutions and law which they themselves adopted.
		In this context, it is a point of fundamental significance that the refusal by Iraq to comply with the disarmament law has been the main source of the continuation of sanctions.

		Iraq disputes this finding, admitting that while it did succeed in producing stabilized VX on a laboratory scale, it never weaponized stabilized VX.

	Address to the Nation on Iraq
		The danger is clear: using chemical, biological or, one day, nuclear weapons, obtained with the help of Iraq, the terrorists could fulfill their stated ambitions and kill thousands or hundreds of thousands of innocent people in our country, or any other.
		In a free Iraq, there will be no more wars of aggression against your neighbors, no more poison factories, no more executions of dissidents, no more torture chambers and rape rooms.
		In one year, or five years, the power of Iraq to inflict harm on all free nations would be multiplied many times over.
