I seem to remember something about some terrific proof that was going to be produced in the future. But about what ... I forget.
Bush most definitely did say that we had found WMDs in Iraq - he said so during a press conference in Poland. But what he meant was those infamous weather balloon trucks.

Powell demanded that Syria locate and turn over Iraqi weapons scientists and top-ranking Ba'ath Party officials who had been granted sanctuary by Syria once Gulf War II began.
He also summoned Assad to close terrorist offices in Damascus and to shut down terrorist training camps in Lebanon.
Even more chilling for Assad: Powell informed him, and repeated this demand in public in Beirut, that the United States expected Syria to end its 27-year military occupation of Lebanon, where it continues to control all prime ministers and puppet presidents in utter defiance of the popular will. ...
....President George W. Bush had warned Syria on April 14 that the United States knew it was hiding Iraqi weapons and "we expect cooperation." Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld had accused Syria during the war of resupplying Iraqi forces with weapons, including night-vision goggles, and revealed that Syria had conducted chemical-weapons tests last year. ...
... His message was simple: We know where you are hiding the weapons, the scientists and the terrorist bases. Give them up, or we will go get them ourselves. ... [snip]
