JOHN KERRY: If we had done this with a sufficient number of troops, if we had done this in a globalized way, if we had brought more people to the table, we might have caught Saddam Hussein sooner. We might have had less loss of life. We would be in a stronger position today with respect to what we're doing.

[size=4]In Their Own Words: The Democratic Candidates[/size=4]

Published: December 15, 2003 New York Times

[i]The following are comments by the Democratic presidential candidates Sunday on the capture of Saddam Hussein:[/i]

CAROL MOSELEY BRAUN: The capture of Saddam Hussein is good news for the people of Iraq and the world. But it does not change the fact that our troops remain in harm's way, and we are no closer to bringing them home.

WESLEY K. CLARK: I could not be prouder of the men and women of the U.S. armed forces for capturing this horrible despot. This is a testament to their courage and determination. I'd also like to congratulate Lieutenant General Sanchez and the intelligence community for the crucial role they played. We've been due good news from Iraq, and the world is a safer and better place now that he is in custody.

HOWARD DEAN: This is a great day of pride in the American military, a great day for the Iraqis, a great day for the American people and, frankly, a great day for the administration. This is a day to celebrate the fact that Saddam's been caught. We'll have to wait to see what happens to the campaign later.

JOHN EDWARDS: Our military leaders have accomplished a great success. I hope President Bush will use this opportunity to chart a course in Iraq that will bring in our allies in a meaningful way to achieve a democratic and peaceful Iraq.

RICHARD A. GEPHARDT: It's a great day for our troops, for this administration, for the people of Iraq. My hope is that this will decrease the violence our troops will have to face.

JOHN KERRY: If we had done this with a sufficient number of troops, if we had done this in a globalized way, if we had brought more people to the table, we might have caught Saddam Hussein sooner. We might have had less loss of life. We would be in a stronger position today with respect to what we're doing.

DENNIS J. KUCINICH: With the capture of Saddam Hussein, the administration's stated goal of removing him from power has been accomplished. The United States must seize this moment and end the occupation of Iraq.

JOSEPH I. LIEBERMAN: On the question that we're celebrating today, Howard Dean throughout this campaign has said he wasn't sure that Saddam really represented a threat to us. At one point he said, 'I suppose the Iraqis are better off with Saddam Hussein gone.' I would say this, and this is a choice the voters have to make in the primaries. [b]If Howard Dean had his way, Saddam Hussein would be in power today, not in prison.[/b]

AL SHARPTON: Now that they have achieved the capture of Hussein, they should appeal to the U.N. to come in with a multilateral redevelopment plan. This is all the more reason this war should come to an immediate end.
