TED KOPPEL: If indeed it turns out that the weapons either did not exist or were destroyed before the war began, should there be a trace of embarrassment? Or does the new justification serve anyway?
JAMES WOOLSEY: Not at all. I think there will be evidence that there were substantial biological and chemical weapons stocks, some after '98 and before the war. And exactly when they were destroyed, possibly right at the beginning of the war, I think shouldn't affect this at all. I think that it is, I think the Administration deserves credit in this for being pretty careful about what they said. And the Secretary of State's presentation before the Security Council was a careful presentation. If the Iraqis destroyed much of that in the opening days of the war, so be it. We'll find some evidence to that effect.
