"There is no doubt that the regime of Saddam Hussein possesses weapons of mass destruction. And . . . as this operation continues, those weapons will be identified, found, along with the people who have produced them and who guard them."
Gen. Tommy Franks

SPIN BABY, SPIN.....


"The headlines all say no weapons of mass destruction stockpiled in Baghdad. We already knew that."
Dick Cheney

"The suggestion is clearly there by Mr. Duelfer that Saddam had used the program (the UN Oil for Food program) in such a way that he had bought off foreign governments and was building support among them to take the sanctions down."
