U.S. OFFICIALS said the discoveries were not proof that Iraq had managed to build or obtain banned weapons of mass destruction, as President Bush asserted before the U.S. invasion of Iraq in March.

Did he assert that? Or is this MSNBC making things up?

I'm always suspicious of sentences that start, "U.S. Officials say." Which U.S. Officials and why aren't they named?
