“In early September [19, 2002] he [President Bush] told members of Congress that he considered Saddam a greater menace than al Qaeda. ‘The war on terror is going okay,’ he said. ‘We are hunting down al Qaeda one by one. The biggest threat, however, is Saddam Hussein and his weapons of mass destruction.’ “
