Gerhard Schroeder Saddam Quotations

I say 'yes' to pressure on Saddam Hussein ... but I can only warn against playing games with war and military intervention,

We always said that the regime of Saddam Hussein does not correspondent to democracy and human rights... but you cannot solve such problems with military means.

With great happiness, I have learned of the capture of Saddam Hussein. I congratulate you on the successful mission,

Saddam Hussein had to know that the international community could not tolerate his behavior.... There is no question whatsoever about our solidarity with the international community, and with our alliance partners the United States and Great Britain,

and that's why we are together exerting pressure so that Saddam Hussein lets international observers into the country.

They say they want to get rid of Saddam Hussein. They don't say that they want to apply pressure for the foreign observers to enter the country again, and that is the policy of which I said that it is wrong at this moment,

The German government and the American administration had different opinions about how Saddam Hussein's regime should be handled,
