Selected WMD Quotes

On the danger of Saddam using WMD that this person now maintains he didn’t have:

There is now no incentive for Hussein to comply with the inspectors or to refrain from using weapons of mass destruction to defend himself if the United States comes after him. And he will use them; we should be under no illusion about that. - Joseph Wilson

On who believed that Saddam possessed WMD:

Former United Nations arms inspector David Kay, who served as a special adviser to the director of the CIA in the postwar search for the weapons, told of interviewing top military commanders who were convinced the unconventional weapons existed and were equally convinced that other commanders had possession of them. Saddam, while fearing a coup, also feared an uprising by his enemies and found it convenient for the Kurds and Shiites to believe he had weapons of mass destruction, Kay told a Miller Center forum at the University of Virginia in May. - John Hall

On who should have believed that Saddam had WMD:

Let’s face it, it would have taken an overwhelming body of evidence for any reasonable person in 2002 to think that Saddam Hussein did not possess stockpiles of chemical and biological agents. Admittedly, the intelligence community was too quick to believe the Iraqi exiles who told stories about mobile biological weapons laboratories and the like. But the basic facts still suggested strongly that Iraq had plenty of weapons of mass destruction. - Michael O’Hanlon
