191. Dean said 30-60 regarding allowing inspectors into Iraq
It's in the Face The Nation transcript from 9/30/02...
I was stuck with my nose in it all day yesterday, so I can damn near quote the thing verbatim.
Dean said on FAce The Nation on 9/30 that weapons inspectors needed to be allowed into Iraq with a 30-60 day deadline established. Hostilities justified if inspectors not allowed in. He expected on 9/30 that the US would be part of a UN or NATO coalition.
He also clearly stated that only an "imminent threat" constituted a justification for invasion of Iraq. That's the standard allowed by international law for military force to be used.
