Dick Cheney
Speech to VFW National Convention
August 26, 2002
Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of
mass destruction.

George W. Bush
Speech to UN General Assembly
September 12, 2002
Right now, Iraq is expanding and improving facilities that were used for
the production of biological weapons.

Ari Fleischer
Press Briefing
December 2, 2002
If he declares he has none, then we will know that Saddam Hussein is once
again misleading the world.

Ari Fleischer
Press Briefing
January 9, 2003
We know for a fact that there are weapons there.

George W. Bush
State of the Union Address
January 28, 2003
Our intelligence officials estimate that Saddam Hussein had the materials
to produce as much as 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent.

Colin Powell
Remarks to UN Security Council
February 5, 2003
We know that Saddam Hussein is determined to keep his weapons of mass
destruction, is determined to make more.

George W. Bush
Radio Address
February 8, 2003
We have sources that tell us that Saddam Hussein recently authorized Iraqi
field commanders to use chemical weapons  .

Colin Powell
Interview with Radio France International February 28, 2003
If Iraq had disarmed itself, gotten rid of its weapons of mass destruction
over the past 12 years, or over the last several months since (UN
Resolution) 1441 was enacted, we would not be facing the crisis that we now
have before us . . . But the suggestion that we are doing this because we
want to go to every country in the Middle East and rearrange all of its
pieces is not correct.

Colin Powell
Remarks to UN Security Council
March 7, 2003
So has the strategic decision been made to disarm Iraq of its weapons of
mass destruction by the leadership in Baghdad? . . . I think our judgment
has to be clearly not.

George W. Bush
Address to the Nation
March 17, 2003
Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that
the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal
weapons ever devised.

Ari Fleisher
Press Briefing
March 21, 2003
Well, there is no question that we have evidence and information that Iraq
has weapons of mass destruction, biological and chemical particularly . . .
all this will be made clear in the course of the operation, for whatever
duration it takes.

Gen. Tommy Franks
Press Conference
March 22, 2003
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.

Defense Policy Board member Kenneth Adelman Washington Post, p. A27
March 23, 2003
I have no doubt we're going to find big stores of weapons of mass destruction.

Pentagon Spokeswoman Victoria Clark Press Briefing
March 22, 2003
One of our top objectives is to find and destroy the WMD. There are a
number of sites.

Donald Rumsfeld
ABC Interview
March 30, 2003
We know where they are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and
east, west, south and north somewhat.

Neocon scholar Robert Kagan
Washington Post op-ed
April 9, 2003
Obviously the administration intends to publicize all the weapons of mass
destruction U.S. forces find -- and there will be plenty.

Ari Fleischer
Press Briefing
April 10, 2003
But make no mistake -- as I said earlier -- we have high confidence that
they have weapons of mass destruction. That is what this war was about and
it is about. And we have high confidence it will be found.

George W. Bush
NBC Interview
April 24, 2003
We are learning more as we interrogate or have discussions with Iraqi
scientists and people within the Iraqi structure, that perhaps he destroyed
some, perhaps he dispersed some. And so we will find them.

Donald Rumsfeld
Press Briefing
April 25, 2003
There are people who in large measure have information that we need . . .
so that we can track down the weapons of mass destruction in that country.

We'll find them. It'll be a matter of time to do so.

I'm absolutely sure that there are weapons of mass destruction there and
the evidence will be forthcoming. We're just getting it just now.

Fox News Interview
May 4, 2003
We never believed that we'd just tumble over weapons of mass destruction in
that country.

I'm not surprised if we begin to uncover the weapons program of Saddam
Hussein -- because he had a weapons program.

Condoleeza Rice
Reuters Interview
May 12, 2003
U.S. officials never expected that "we were going to open garages and
find" weapons of mass destruction.

Maj. Gen. David Petraeus, Commander 101st Airborne Press Briefing
May 13, 2003
I just don't know whether it was all destroyed years ago -- I mean, there's
no question that there were chemical weapons years ago -- whether they were
destroyed right before the war, (or) whether they're still hidden.

Gen. Michael Hagee, Commandant of the Marine Corps Interview with Reporters
May 21, 2003
Before the war, there's no doubt in my mind that Saddam Hussein had weapons
of mass destruction, biological and chemical. I expected them to be found.
I still expect them to be found.

Gen. Richard Myers, Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff NBC Today Show interview
May 26, 2003
Given time, given the number of prisoners now that we're interrogating, I'm
confident that we're going to find weapons of mass destruction.

Remarks to the Council on Foreign Relations May 27, 2003
They may have had time to destroy them, and I don't know the answer.

Paul Wolfowitz
Vanity Fair interview
May 28, 2003
For bureaucratic reasons, we settled on one issue, weapons of mass
destruction (as justification for invading Iraq) because it was the one
reason everyone could agree on.

Lt. Gen. James Conway, 1st Marine Expeditionary Force Press Interview
May 30, 2003
It was a surprise to me then - it remains a surprise to me now - that we
have not uncovered weapons, as you say, in some of the forward dispersal
sites. Believe me, it's not for lack of trying. We've been to virtually
every ammunition supply point between the Kuwaiti border and Baghdad, but
they're simply not there.

Maj. Gen. Keith Dayton, Defense Intelligence Agency Press Conference
May 30, 2003
Do I think we're going to find something? Yeah, I kind of do, because I
think there's a lot of information out there."
