“I think if you’re gonna make an accusation in the course of a presidential campaign, you ought to back it up with facts,”
- President George Bush to John Kerry on March 16th 2004.
“…purpose today is to provide you with additional information, to share with you what the United States knows about Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction…
My colleagues, every statement I make today is backed up by sources, solid sources. These are not assertions. What we are giving you are facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence.
We know that Saddam Hussein is determined to keep his weapons of mass destruction, is determined to make more. Given Saddam Hussein’s history of aggression, given what we know of his grandiose plans, given what we know of his terrorist associations, and given his determination to exact revenge on those who oppose him, should we take the risk that he will not someday use these weapons at a time and a place and in a manner of his choosing, at a time when the world is in a much weaker position to respond?”
- Secretary Colin L. Powel to the United Nations Security Council on February 5, 2003.
