Click Bush to order.

Allow me to add a little color.

THEN:

President Bush, March 19, 2003:

"The people of the United States and our friends and allies will not live at the mercy of an outlaw regime that threatens the peace with weapons of mass murder."

******************************************

Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld, March 11, 2003:

"He claims to have no chemical or biological weapons, yet we know he continues to hide biological and chemical weapons, moving them to different locations as often as every 12 to 24 hours and placing them in residential neighborhoods."

******************************************

Vice President Dick Cheney, Aug. 26, 2002:


"Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction. There is no doubt he is amassing them to use against our friends, against our allies and against us."

******************************************

Cheney, Aug. 29, 2002:

"His regime is busy enhancing its capabilities in the field of chemical and biological agents, and they continue to pursue an aggressive nuclear-weapons program."

******************************************

NOW:

Tenet Today:

"My provisional bottom line today: Saddam did not have a nuclear weapon, he still wanted one, and Iraq intended to reconstitute a nuclear program at some point."

Referring to the National Intelligence Estimate of 2002, a report by the CIA and other U.S. intelligence agencies about whether Iraq had chemical, biological and nuclear weapons and the means to deliver them:

"We concluded that in some of these categories Iraq had weapons, and that in others - where it did not have them - it was trying to develop them.

"Let me be clear: Analysts differed on several important aspects of these programs, and those debates were spelled out in the estimate. They never said there was an `imminent' threat. Rather, they painted an objective assessment for our policymakers of a brutal dictator who was continuing his efforts to deceive and build programs that might constantly surprise us and threaten our interests. No one told us what to say or how to say it."
