Extract

I have no idea. I think that Scott Ritter has his piece of the story. He was a good inspector; I’m not going to criticize him. However, he doesn't have a clue about what our overall policy has been. We are the foremost supporter of UNSCOM; we have directed— have inspired, really, more inspections than anybody else. If it weren't for the United States—and I must say, me, personally—I doubt very much that the sanctions regime would be in place as strongly as it is.
