CIA Comes Clean on Saddam Hussein's WMDs 2012-09-06T21:05:37Z This on a show in which he spoke of Iraq possessing WMD. The Libya War argument 2011-08-22T11:23:00Z After the flawed reporting and intelligence on Iraq's alleged WMD program, Western powers will be hard-pressed to use the same arguments to push for confrontational action on Iran.

The merger of journalists and government officials 2010-12-28T10:29:00Z As my friend Charles Krauthammer points out, it was an article of faith on the left that George W. Bush deliberately lied about WMD to get us into the Iraq War. The Deepest Dangers Facing the United States 2010-12-04T05:00:00Z So now, as in his first round of evidence a year ago, he further downgraded the concept of Saddam's WMD to "intent". Blair at Chilcot 2011-01-21T16:46:24Z And later, he never stops to wonder if the U.N. inspectors, whom Saddam Hussein had allowed back into Iraq, were not finding weapons of mass destruction because, maybe, uh, the WMD didn't exist.

The horrible prospect of Supreme Court Justice Cass Sunstein 2010-03-26T10:27:00Z Meanwhile, one of the key points in Rove's book is that Bush did not 'lie us' into the Iraq war by making false assertions about Iraq's WMD capabilities.

Karl Rove Memoir 'Courage' Defends Bush Legacy, Iraq War 2010-03-11T16:40:00Z WMD threat Only one family who lost a relative in Iraq has applied for seats at Mr Brown's hearing - 40 seats were reserved for families over the course of Mr Blair's day-long session. Brown set to give Iraq evidence 2010-03-05T02:24:00Z Bear in mind that there is a further reason China cannot use its alleged economic WMD: It has no choice but to continue buying low-yielding U.S. bonds.

Karl Rove Memoir 'Courage' Defends Bush Legacy, Iraq War 2010-03-11T16:40:00Z Having been asked if Blair misled Parliament over intelligence relating to supposed Iraqi WMD in early 2003, Campbell paused to compose himself and then explained that he was "a bit upset" by "this constant vilification." 2010-02-11T16:53:00Z Nuclear ambition These included "WMD proliferation and support of terrorism", according to a statement released on the US Treasury website. 2010-02-10T16:38:00Z Proliferation of WMD and their means of delivery constitutes a common threat to Russia and NATO. 2010-02-12T22:04:00Z The US manufactured GFC has been a WMD slicing off a big chunk of China's wealth and slowing China's growth. 2010-02-06T00:28:00Z He said "brutal and oppressive" regimes with WMD were a "bigger threat" than benign states with WMD. 2010-01-29T19:17:00Z The ISG said: "His lieutenants understood WMD revival was his goal from their long association with Saddam and his infrequent, but firm, verbal comments and directions to them." 2010-01-29T18:42:00Z An interviewer for a BBC religious affairs program broadcast last December asked Blair what he would have done if he had realized before the war that Saddam had no WMD. 2010-01-29T22:25:00Z Blair himself has taken some of the sting out of the hearing by telling an interviewer in December that he believed it was right to oust Saddam even though no WMD were found. 2010-01-28T14:55:00Z But that is merely to replace one fiction — that Saddam was armed to the teeth with WMD — with another. 2010-01-23T05:30:00Z He said Tony Blair must explain claims that he would have backed the war even if he had known Iraq had no WMD. 2010-01-13T20:05:00Z Deny WMD to rogue states and terrorist allies who seek to use them. National Strategy for Combating Terrorism September 2006 He refined that response — which could have been legally risky, since WMD, not regime change, provided the official justification for British action — during his testimony to the Iraq Inquiry. 2010-01-29T22:25:00Z A central goal must be to prevent terrorists from acquiring or manufacturing the WMD that would enable them to act on their worst ambitions. National Strategy for Combating Terrorism February 2003 The arguments he chose were based on Saddam's "active, detailed and growing" WMD program and his nuclear ambitions. 2010-01-23T05:30:00Z Because of the threat of retaliation, WMD capabilities may become politically acceptable targets provided collateral damage to civilians is minimized. Shock and Awe — Achieving Rapid Dominance With regard to our own efforts, our comprehensive approach for addressing WMD terrorism hinges on six objectives, and we will work across all objectives simultaneously to maximize our ability to eliminate the threat. National Strategy for Combating Terrorism September 2006 We also will continue to work with countries to enact and enforce strict penalties for WMD trafficking and other suspect WMD-related activities. National Strategy for Combating Terrorism September 2006 While we will not ignore regional or emerging threats, our operational efforts and intelligence will focus primarily upon the most dangerous groups, namely, those with global reach or aspirations to acquire and use WMD.

Shock and Awe — Achieving Rapid Dominance Should a WMD terrorist attack occur, the rapid identification of the source and perpetrator of an attack will enable our response efforts and may be critical in disrupting follow-on attacks. National Strategy for Combating Terrorism September 2006 A new deterrence calculus combines the need to deter terrorists and supporters from contemplating a WMD attack and, failing that, to dissuade them from actually conducting an attack. National Strategy for Combating Terrorism September 2006 Interdiction, whether against terrorist material support or WMD, will be carefully coordinated to ensure prioritization of intelligence, proper allocation of resources, and, when necessary, swift, decisive action. National Strategy for Combating Terrorism February 2003 We will seek to dissuade attacks by improving our ability to mitigate the effects of a terrorist attack involving WMD—to limit or prevent large-scale casualties, economic disruption, or panic. National Strategy for Combating Terrorism September 2006 It has applications in a variety of areas such as countering WMD, terrorism, and perhaps other tasks. Shock and Awe — Achieving Rapid Dominance We will develop the capability to assign responsibility for the intended or actual use of WMD via accurate attribution—the rapid fusion of technical forensic data with intelligence and law enforcement information. National Strategy for Combating Terrorism September 2006 We will continue to develop requisite capabilities to eliminate the possibility of a WMD operation and to prevent a possible follow-on attack. National Strategy for Combating Terrorism September 2006 The Aum Shinrikyo's unsuccessful efforts to deploy biological weapons and its lethal 1995 sarin gas attack in the Tokyo subway provided an early warning of such willingness to acquire and use WMD. National Strategy for Combating Terrorism February 2003 Preventing terrorist groups from gaining access to technology, particularly that which supports WMD, will be one of our highest priorities. National Strategy for Combating Terrorism February 2003 The threat of terrorists acquiring and using WMD is a clear and present danger. National Strategy for Combating Terrorism February 2003 Our greatest and gravest concern, however, is WMD in the hands of terrorists. National Strategy for Combating Terrorism September 2006 We are prepared to act decisively to stop terrorists from acquiring WMD or precursors. National Strategy for Combating Terrorism February 2003 In 1998, Usama bin Laden proclaimed the acquisition of WMD a "religious duty," and evidence collected in Afghanistan proves al-Qaida sought to fulfill this "duty." National Strategy for Combating Terrorism February 2003 The new global environment, with its resultant terrorist interconnectivity, and WMD are changing the nature of terrorism. National Strategy for Combating Terrorism February 2003 Some irresponsible governments--or extremist factions within them--seeking to further their own agenda may provide terrorists access to WMD. National Strategy for Combating Terrorism February 2003 —Deny terrorists access to the materials, expertise, and other enabling capabilities required to develop WMD.
