here is a sample of quotes (in order) from Bush on whether or not iraq has WMD and how deefinitive the Knowlage of there Weapons Program is.
Bush's statements, in chronological order, were:
Quote:
"Right now, Iraq is expanding and improving facilities that were used for the production of biological weapons."
United Nations address, September 12, 2002

at this time, the clasified document states that there is no hard evidence, just 'maybes', but bush drones right on with THEY ARE expanding...
Quote:
"Iraq has stockpiled biological and chemical weapons, and is rebuilding the facilities used to make more of those weapons."
"We have sources that tell us that Saddam Hussein recently authorized Iraqi field commanders to use chemical weapons -- the very weapons the dictator tells us he does not have."

Iraq Has Strockpiles of weapons, and is rebuilding its capabilities (so we know where they are rebuilding?)
Quote:
"The Iraqi regime . . . possesses and produces chemical and biological weapons. It is seeking nuclear weapons."
"We know that the regime has produced thousands of tons of chemical agents, including mustard gas, sarin nerve gas, VX nerve gas."
"We've also discovered through intelligence that Iraq has a growing fleet of manned and unmanned aerial vehicles that could be used to disperse chemical or biological weapons across broad areas. We're concerned that Iraq is exploring ways of using these UAVS for missions targeting the United States."
"The evidence indicates that Iraq is reconstituting its nuclear weapons program. Saddam Hussein has held numerous meetings with Iraqi nuclear scientists, a group he calls his "nuclear mujahideen" -- his nuclear holy warriors. Satellite photographs reveal that Iraq is rebuilding facilities at sites that have been part of its nuclear program in the past. Iraq has attempted to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes and other equipment needed for gas centrifuges, which are used to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons."

even the IAEA said the aluminum toobing excuse was bull shit
we also have Photographs of the locations where they are rebuilding, if we know where they are why cant we find them, we can watch the 24 hours a day if we wanted to.
Quote:
"Our intelligence officials estimate that Saddam Hussein had the materials to produce as much as 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent."
State of the Union Address, January 28, 2003

you cant just destroy 500 tons of agent in a little more than a month and leave no traces does any one know how much 500 tons of sarin acualy is? Its Just Shy of 15000 Cubic Feet of substance (14695.83 cubic feet).
Quote:
"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."
