” ‘I haven’t made up my mind we’re going to war with Iraq,’ he [President Bush] said at an October [1, 2002] press conference. ‘I’ve made up my mind we need to disarm the man [Saddam Hussein]. …There needs to be a strong new [United Nations] resolution in order for us to make it clear to the world–and to Saddam Hussein, more importantly–that you must disarm.’ ”
