I've seen looting around the world and thought I knew the best looters in the world. The Iraqis excel at that.

The damning thing is the seals, ... The Iraqis didn't use seals on anything. So I'm absolutely sure that's an IAEA seal.

You can tell the Iraqis who are scared because we're here and those who are scared because they're bad.

I had innumerable analysts who came to me in apology that the world that we were finding was not the world that they had thought existed and that they had estimated. Reality on the ground differed in advance.

I came not from within the administration, and it was clear and clear in our discussions and no one asked otherwise that I would lead this the way I thought best and I would speak the truth as we found it.

Sen. Edward Kennedy knows very directly. Senator Kennedy and I talked on several occasions prior to the war that my view was that the best evidence that I had seen was that Iraq indeed had weapons of mass destruction.
