Quotes

Colin Powell said in February 2001, presumably speaking of Saddam Hussein:

He has not developed any significant capability with respect to weapons of mass destruction. He is unable to project conventional power against his neighbors.

Condoleezza Rice said in July, 2001, presumably speaking of Saddam Hussein:

We are able to keep arms from him; his military forces have not been rebuilt.

Analysis

• 1992-09-29 video Gore criticizes Bush for ignoring Iraq's ties to terrorism: Al Gore criticizes George H.W. Bush for ignoring Iraq's ties to terrorists and disregarding Iraq's attempts to acquire weapons of mass destruction. Gives a good rundown of US-Iraqi relations up to that point, mainly constituting of appeasement in an attempt to get Saddam to stop torturing his people, attacking US military, and seeking to acquire WMDs.
