Some quotes on Iraq:
"He (Saddam Hussein) has not developed any significant capability with respect to weapons of mass destruction. He is unable to project conventional power against his neighbours."
Saddam Hussein had not been able to "build his military back up or to develop weapons of mass destruction" for "the last 10 years". America...had been successful in keeping him "in a box".
"Saddam does not control the northern part of the country....We are able to keep his arms from him. His military forces have not been rebuilt."
Who said these things? Was it Congressional Democrats? Draft-dodging hippies? Cowardly Europeans? No, the first two are from semi-hawk Secretary of State Colin Powell in February and May 2001, respectively. The third comes from (no qualifier needed) hawk National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice in July 2001.
