clinton still said in Oct 2003 that he believed saddam had wmd. No one claimed they had "nukes". The head of CIA Tenet was appointed by clinton and kept by bush. If bush lied the clinton administration lied.


during a Floor speech on October 9, 2002, Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) said, "And we are here today in the year 2002 with an un-inspected four-year interval during which time we know through intelligence he not only has kept them, but he continues to grow them.....The threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real, but as I said, it is not new." http://www.house.gov/mica/issuesiraq2.htm

JOHN EDWARDS: "We know that he (Hussein) has chemical and biological weapons." (Oct. 10, 2002) See: http://www.senate.gov/~edwards/statements/20021010_iraq.html

On finding the alleged weapons Clark said: "I think they will be found. There's so much intelligence on this." (on CNN, April 2, 2003) See: http://www.fair.org/press-releases/clark-antiwar.html http://www.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0301/18/smn.05.html, http://www-cgi.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0304/02/lt.08.html
WESLEY CLARK: "He (Hussein) does have weapons of mass destruction." When asked, "And you could say that categorically?" Clark responded: "Absolutely." (on CNN, Jan. 18, 2003).

   ''The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998.  We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities.  Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons. . . .'' -- Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002
