--Dick Cheney, Vice Presidential Debate "Of course I know Osama bin Laden attacked us. I know that." --George Bush, October, 2004 "The evidence about Saddam having actual biological and chemical weapons ... has turned out to be wrong." --Tony Blair, October, 2004 "I think there's overwhelming evidence that there was a connection between al-Qaeda and the Iraqi government." --Dick Cheney, National Public Radio, "Morning Edition," 1/22/04 "If we're successful in Iraq, if we can stand up a good representative government in Iraq, that secures the region so that it never again becomes a threat to its neighbors or to the United States, so it's not pursuing weapons of mass destruction, so that it's not a safe haven for terrorists, now we will have struck a major blow right at the heart of the base, if you will, the geographic base of the terrorists who have had us under assault now for many years, but most especially on 9/11." --Dick Cheney, NBC, Meet the Press, 11/14/03 ?We've had no evidence that Saddam Hussein was involved with the September 11th.? --George Bush, September 18, 2003 "This nation acted to a threat from the dictator of Iraq. Now there are some who would like to rewrite history -- revisionist historians is what I like to call them." --George Bush, June 16, 2003 "Let's look at it simply.

We're just getting it just now.? --Colin Powell,Remarks to Reporters, May 4, 2003 ?We'll find them. It'll be a matter of time to do so.? --George W. Bush,Remarks to Reporters, May 3, 2003 ?We are learning more as we interrogate or have discussions with Iraqi scientists and people within the Iraqi structure, that perhaps he destroyed some, perhaps he dispersed some. And so we will find them.? --George W. Bush,NBC Interview, Apr. 24, 2003 "Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised ... Today, no nation can possibly claim that Iraq has disarmed. And it will not disarm so long as Saddam Hussein holds power." --George Bush, March 18, 2003 ?Our intelligence officials estimate that Saddam Hussein had the materials to produce as much as 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agent.? --George W.
