Thesa are my favourites from this speech.
"Some worry that a change of leadership in Iraq could create instability and make the situation worse. The situation could hardly get worse, for world security and for the people of Iraq. The lives of Iraqi citizens would improve dramatically if Saddam Hussein were no longer in power, just as the lives of Afghanistan's citizens improved after the Taliban. "
"Some ask how urgent this danger is to America and the world. The danger is already significant, and it only grows worse with time. If we know Saddam Hussein has dangerous weapons today -- and we do -- does it make any sense for the world to wait to confront him as he grows even stronger and develops even more dangerous weapons?"
"And we know that after September the 11th, Saddam Hussein's regime gleefully celebrated the terrorist attacks on America."
"Iraq could decide on any given day to provide a biological or chemical weapon to a terrorist group or individual terrorists. "
