10. I wouldn't be too sure.
Pardon a combined cliche', but the media smells blood in the water and the party's over.

2. We can certainly hope.
I'll be heading for the liquor store to get some champagne. I want to be sure it's all chilled and ready to be consumed when that milestone is achieved.

5. Maybe daddy *
I sort of recall 28 for him at one point. Maybe it was during the 92 campaign though when the numbers were split among Clinton, Perot and him.

6. I'm predicting...
... after the attacks on Iran and Syria, the atomic attacks on the Taliban in Afghanistan and the invasion of Lebanon, that he might hit single digits....

BUSH ADMINISTRATION HAD ACUTE KNOWLEDGE OF IRAQ'S MILITARY INDUSTRIALIZATION PLANS
Henry B. Gonzalez, (TX-20)
(House of Representatives - July 27, 1992)




The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under a previous order of the House, the gentleman from Texas is recognized for 60 minutes.

Mr. GONZALEZ. Mr. Speaker, last week I showed that this administration, President Bush's administration, deliberately and not inadvertently helped to arm Iraq by allowing United States technology to be shipped to the Iraqi military and to the Iraqi weapons factories. Throughout the course of the Bush administration, United States and foreign firms were granted export licenses to ship United States technology directly to Iraqi weapons facilities, despite ample evidence showing that these factories were producing weapons.
