| Description | WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. forces have found documents that could lead shortly to "breakthrough" news about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction, a Republican senator back from visiting Iraq said on Thursday, but Democrats on the trip seemed less convinced.
Kansas Republican Pat Roberts, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, who just returned with several other senators from Iraq, declined to give details. But he and Sen. John Warner, a Virginia Republican and chairman of the Armed Services Committee, said they concluded from what they were told that Saddam did have the weapons.
Some Democrats who were on the trip were less persuaded by what they had learned and said the focus should be on rebuilding Iraq and getting other nations as well as NATO and the United Nations to help.
President Bush partly justified the invasion of Iraq by the threat posed by weapons of mass destruction, such as chemical or biological arms, but so far none have been discovered. |
