Some Quotes on Weapons of Mass Destruction

From a story in today's Independent:


"Intelligence leaves no doubt that Iraq continues to possess and conceal lethal weapons"

-- George Bush, US President 18 March, 2003


"We are asked to accept Saddam decided to destroy those weapons. I say that such a claim is palpably absurd"

--Tony Blair, Prime Minister 18 March, 2003


[War Begins]


"Saddam's removal is necessary to eradicate the threat from his weapons of mass destruction"

--Jack Straw, Foreign Secretary 2 April, 2003


"Before people crow about the absence of weapons of mass destruction, I suggest they wait a bit"

--Tony Blair 28 April, 2003


"It is possible Iraqi leaders decided they would destroy them prior to the conflict"

--Donald Rumsfeld, US Defence Secretary 28 May, 2003



UPDATE: A fuller listing of choice quotes, including statements from Colin Powell's address before the United Nations, appears here.
