” ‘Predators of the twenty-first century,’ said [President] Bill Clinton in a blunt [February 17] 1998 warning, ‘will be all the more lethal if we allow them to build arsenals of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons and the missiles to deliver them. There is no more clear example of this threat than Saddam Hussein’s Iraq.’ ”
