(2003-01-21) — Senator Edward “Ted” Kennedy, D-MA, offered to help the U.N. weapons inspectors by personally searching the bottoms of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers for canisters of gas or biological agents.
The Senator, who had some experience diving on a submerged metal object in 1969, said, “Each citizen must do what he can to support the effort to disarm Saddam. I’m going to see if I can get to the bottom of this thing…as it were. I’m hoping to come up with something…uh…again, as it were.”
Sen. Kennedy declined to discuss the specifics of his previous diving experience.
