[Iraq] possesses and produces chemical and biological weapons," he told a crowd in Cincinnati four months before the war. "It is seeking nuclear weapons ... If we know Saddam Hussein has dangerous weapons today-and we do [sic]-does it make any sense for the world to wait to confront him as he grows even stronger and develops even more dangerous weapons?" If the U.S. invasion force had found stockpiles of biological, chemical or nuclear weapons in Iraq, we could have claimed victory. Although critics would have remained disgusted with the sleazy origins of this roll-the-dice waii we would have been forced to concede that [Bush] had validated his policy of pre-emption. "The United States has removed a tyrant it helped to install and maintained in power for decades," Bush would have said,...
She also voted against an amendment by Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., that would restrict military action to the enforcement of a U.N. resolution to eliminate nuclear, biological and chemical weapons in Iraq. On the Jan. 13, 2008, episode of NBC's "Meet the Press," [Hillary Clinton] said she opposed the Levin Amendment because "... in my view [it] gave the security Council of the U.N. a veto over American presidential power. I don't believe that is an appropriate policy for the United States ... Clinton opposes this view. At the Feb. 26 Democratic debate in Cleveland, Clinton asserted erroneously that [Obama] had threatened to bomb Pakistan, "which I don't think was a particularly wise position to take," she said. Obama reiterated his August address to rebut Clinton's assertion, then retort...
North Korea threatened to export nuclear weapons to international terrorists in 2005, according to a U.S. intelligence report made public yesterday. The report to Congress on arms proliferation was produced in 2006 and also said al Qaeda is developing chemical and biological weapons for use in Iraq and Afghanistan and continues to seek nuclear or radiological bombs.
CIA reveals details of Saddam's disastrous bluff The most incredible revelation in the new CIA report on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction is not that there were no biological, chemical or nuclear weapons in Iraq. We knew that. It is that Saddam Hussein deceived the world -- even members of his own regime -- into believing he had WMD in order to deter Iran.

THE most incredible revelation in the new CIA report on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction is not that there were no biological, chemical or nuclear weapons in Iraq. We knew that. It is that Saddam Hussein deliberately deceived the world even members of his own regime into believing he still had WMD in order to deter Iran.
There were two mayors, two former mayors, a navy chief and a police chief in attendance, plus a big turnout of citizens, to greet the Democrat senator who is also Florida's former treasurer, insurance commissioner and fire marshal. He was introduced by Mayor Morgan McPherson as "our senator from outer space." "How was it," asked the mayor, "six days in the Shuttle?" "I'll tell you about it," said [Bill Nelson], but he did not get the chance. Following some introductory remarks, the senator threw the meeting open to the public. "I'm here to learn," he said. "Iraq looks like a mess," said Stephen Dawkins, a former State Department official in the front row. Nelson stood legs apart, hands on hips, as Dawkins phrased his question on the Iraqi's right to resist an occupation, "First of ...

NEW YORK - Having presided over the two worst intelligence disasters since Pearl Harbor - 9/11 and the misbegotten invasion of Iraq - the Bush Administration and its apologists are now whining, 'OK, we were wrong about Iraq's weapons and supposed threat, but so was everybody else. Besides, it was all CIA's fault.' Nor was everyone wrong about Iraq. The UN's arms inspectors (those that were not spies for the US and Israel) declared Iraq had no wmd's. Scores of Mideast professionals, this writer included, insisted from Day 1 that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction, posed no threat to the USA, and had no link to al-Qaida. The Bush Administration had documents confirming destruction in 1992 of all of Iraq's chemical and biological weapons (supplied by the US and Britain for use against...
WASHINGTON (AP) - A government document raises doubts about claims al-Qaida members received training for biological and chemical weapons in Iraq, as Senate Democrats on Sunday defended their push for a report on how the Bush administration handled prewar intelligence. Democrats forced the Senate into an unusual closed session last week as they sought assurances the Intelligence Committee would complete an investigation of intelligence about Iraq before the invasion in March 2003.
