I didn't promote war when I was a weapons inspector.

Weapons of mass destruction aren't pulled out of a black hat like a white rabbit at a magic show. They're produced in factories. There's science and technology involved. They're not produced in a hole in the ground or in a basement.

If you want to play the game of truth, I'll tell the truth, and the truth will burn.

That we have collectively failed to halt and repudiate the war in Iraq makes us even worse than the Germans.

Iraq has not been disarmed 100 percent [but] in terms of what they [Iraqis] have accomplished there are no meaningful weapons or weapons production capability in Iraq today.

We are the ones responsible to determine whether the war that our marines, soldiers and airmen are fighting in is worth the cause.

While we were never able to provide 100 percent certainty regarding the disposition of Iraq's proscribed weaponry, we did ascertain a 90-95 percent level of verified disarmament. This figure takes into account the destruction or dismantling of every major factory associated with prohibited weapons manufacture, all significant items of production equipment, and the majority of the weapons and agent produced by Iraq.
