Saddam "is actively pursuing nuclear weapons at this time." (3/24/02, CNN)
"There is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction. There is no doubt he is amassing them to use against our friends…and against us." (8/26/02)
"We do know, with absolute certainty, that he [Saddam Hussein] is using his procurement system to acquire the equipment he needs in order to enrich uranium to build a nuclear weapon." (9/8/02 on Meet the Press)
"What's happening, of course, is we're getting additional information that, in fact, Hussein is reconstituting his biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons programs." (9/13/02, to Rush Limbaugh) (There was no such new intel) [1]
