In a national press conference on March 6, 2003, President Bush said: ” ‘Iraqi operatives continue to hide biological and chemical agents to avoid detection by inspectors. In some cases these materials have been moved to different locations every 12 to 24 hours. …Saddam Hussein and his weapons are a direct threat to this country, to our people, and to all free people. …I will not leave the American people at the mercy of the Iraqi dictator and his weapons. …I see a gathering threat. I mean, this is a true, real threat to America.’ ”
