Is there someone that can cite Pres. G. W. Bush as having stated definitively and with certainty that Saddam Hussein had in his possession WMD? Some highly placed officials during the Clinton admin. came much closer than Dubya did to making such assertions.
He NEVER said it. The closest anyone came was Tenent who told Bush it was a “slam dunk” that there were WMDs in Iraq. Bush always said the “THREAT” that Saddam had, or could share, WMDs was sufficient, and I agree. Had not a single WMD been found (and there were plenty), it still would have justified going into a nation that had repeatedly USED WMDs in the past and could give them to al-Queda.
