KYRA PHILLIPS, CNN ANCHOR: On a much more serious note, we are going to take you now live to Groton, Connecticut, and that's where Vice President Dick Cheney is talking to folks at an event raising money for Congressman Rob Simmons. He's talking about Iraq right now. Let's listen in.</s>DICK CHENEY, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: ... the elimination of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction as required by Security Council resolutions. All statements from the government of Iraq will not cause us to ignore history or reality. Saddam Hussein has spent more than a decade in complete defiance of all the United Nations demands. The question for the International community is whether the Security Council resolutions will be enforced or disregarded without consequence, whether the United Nations will be effective, or irrelevant. As for the United States, the president has made our position very clear. We want to work with the United Nations to meet our common challenge. The Security Council resolutions ought to be enforced, or action will be unavoidable. We must and will take whatever steps are necessary to defend our freedom and security.</s>PHILLIPS: Vice President Dick Cheney delivering remarks in there in Groton, Connecticut.
