“In an October [9] 1998 speech, [Senator Carl] Levin [D-MI] declared: ‘It is my sincere hope that Saddam Hussein, when faced with the credible threat of the use of force, will comply with the relevant UN Security Council Resolutions. But, I believe that we must carefully consider other actions, including, if necessary, the use of force to destroy suspect sites if compliance is not achieved.’ ”
