On Oct. 10, 2002, Biden gave a speech in favor of the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq: "I do not believe this is a rush to war. I believe it is a march to peace and security. I believe that failure to overwhelmingly support this resolution is likely to enhance the prospects that war will occur.... [Saddam Hussein] possesses chemical and biological weapons and is seeking nuclear weapons." Biden stated he thought conflict may be long, but was still in favor of it: "We must be clear with the American people that we are committing to Iraq for the long haul; not just the day after, but the decade after.... I am absolutely confident the President will not take us to war alone."
