“But when one examines the reporting by the CIA, by the Defense Intelligence Agency, by the appropriate agencies within the Department of State and the Department of Defense, their reporting was characterized by conditionality, by caveats, by suggestions that there was more to it than simply a conclusion. It was described in terms of likelihood, probability, maybe, what have you. But it was presented to the American people and to the people of the world in clear stock terms that would only, only provide an inescapable conclusion that Saddam Hussein had possession of weapons of mass destruction. He was the individual who had the courage to come before the Senate and say unequivocally and clearly we were all wrong. We have not heard that yet from the President of the United States.”
