Vice-President Cheney, 22 January 2004 ~ "There's overwhelming evidence... of a connection between al-Qa'ida and Iraq"

Donald Rumsfeld, 14 November 2002 ~ "Within a week, or a month, Saddam could give his WMD to al-Qa'ida"

Condoleezza Rice, 17 September 2003 ~ "Saddam was a danger in the region where the 9/11 threat emerged"
