“In an interview with Fox News anchor Brit Hume [on September 22, 2003], President Bush explains what he believes happened to Saddam’s WMDs: ‘I think he hid them, I think he dispersed them. I think he is so adapted at deceiving the civilized world for a long period of time that it’s going to take a while for the troops to unravel. But I firmly believe he had weapons of mass destruction. I know he used them at one time, and I’m confident he had programs that would enable him to have a weapon of mass destruction at his disposal.’ ”
