We need the UN, to deal with the threats to our common security from nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, not only in the case of Iraq. They must be tackled by the international community together, by strengthening conventions, treaties and agreements.
Anna Lindh
In the field of biological weapons, there is almost no prospect of detecting a pathogen until it has been used in an attack.
Barton Gellman
Chemical weapons, biological weapons, and nuclear weapons should never be used.
Brad Schneider
They have involved co-operation between the Iraqi intelligence and al-Qaeda operatives on training and combined operations regarding bomb making and chemical and biological weapons.
Douglas Feith

Hans Blix

John Sununu
In the case of Iraq, notwithstanding the violence there at the moment, the very fact that a hideous regime - responsible for genocide, for the use of chemical and biological weapons, aggression against two neighbors - has been removed in itself is a positive development.
Jose Ramos-Horta
Iraq is a long way from the U.S., but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face.
Madeleine Albright
One letter to bin Laden reveals that al Qaeda was working on chemical and biological weapons in Iran.
Michael T. Flynn
We have no such weapons at all, no chemical weapons, no biological weapons.
