“After briefing the President [Bush] on September 6, 2002 on how Iraqi Scud missiles might be suppressed in a war, [Central Command leader] General Tommy Franks noted that ‘we’ve been looking for Scud missiles and other weapons of mass destruction for ten years and haven’t found any yet, so I can’t tell you that I know that there are any specific weapons anywhere. I haven’t seen Scud one.’ “
