MR. FLEISCHER: Helen, I think it's also why former President Clinton responded to that assassination attempt with four days of Cruise missile strikes against Iraq, because an attempt to assassinate a former United States President --

MR. FLEISCHER: I think the President cited multiple reasons why Saddam Hussein is a menace and a threat.
