The larger point is, and the fundamental question is, did Saddam Hussein have a weapons program? And the answer is, absolutely.
**And we gave him a chance to allow the inspectors in, and he wouldn't let them in.**
And, therefore, after a reasonable request, we decided to remove him from power, along with other nations, so as to make sure he was not a threat to the United States and our friends and allies in the region. I firmly believe the decisions we made will make America more secure and the world more peaceful.

from July 14, 2003. Amazingly enough, the US press let him get away with saying this.
Also:
Three babies died of dehydration at a major landmark in a major US city. Weather was sunny and dry, there was no foreign or terrorist attack going on.... but I have heard rumors that some criminals were firing on the US National Guard. That never stopped them in Iraq or Afghanistan, did it?
