Statement by Sen. Wellstone Regarding Military Action Against Iraq

Washington, D.C. October 3, 2002

....

We have succeeded in destroying some Al Qaida forces, but many of its operatives have scattered, their will to kill Americans still strong. The United States has relied heavily on alliances with nearly 100 countries in a coalition against terror for critical intelligence to protect Americans from possible future attacks. Acting with the support of allies, including hopefully Arab and Muslim allies, would limit possible damage to that coalition and our anti-terrorism efforts. But as General Wes Clark, former Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in Europe has recently noted, a premature go-it-alone invasion of Iraq "would super-charge recruiting for Al Qaida."

4. They DID work together on a number of bills in the Senate

that's all I know. BTW Dennis Kucinich campaigned for Wellstone in MN in 2002, before the plane crash. I got this news from a former Wellstone staffer (now working for Kerry) here in Minnesota.

Kennedy, Kerry, Feingold to name a few.

6. DK did doorknocking for Wellstone

I don't know if any of the others went that far. It might have been "beneath them".

7. What would Paul Wellstone say about Kerry's IWR vote?

Wellstone gave his life fighting for his principles and constituents.

8. ahhhh

When he heard the speech Kerry gave at the time of the vote?

Maybe...you've made some good points there John.

Although they voted differently, they weren't too far apart on the issue of Saddam

9. Wellstone and Kerry worked together on veterans' issues and

public financing of campaigns legislation. They were good friends.

Many of Wellstone's backers in Minnesota are now with Kerry.
