Smith Remarks on Capture of Saddam Hussein
Washington, DC - Today, Senator Gordon Smith (R-OR) issued the following statement on the capture of Saddam Hussein:
"We are at the dawn of a new year and a new beginning for the Iraqi people.
The capture of Saddam Hussein should give the Iraqi people the comfort and security of knowing justice will be served and no one is above the law.
They now have greater freedom to move toward a full and unfettered, sovereign democracy without fearing their former murderous tyrant.
This milestone of hope is a testament to the bravery of the fine men and women of our Armed Forces in Iraq, excellent work of
the intelligence community, and strong leadership of President Bush."
