Forged Evidence

By Rep. Henry Waxman
Tuesday 10 June 2003

The Honorable Condoleezza Rice
Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs
The White House
Washington, DC 20500

Dear Dr. Rice:

Since March 17, 2003, I have been trying without success to get a direct answer to one simple question: Why did President Bush cite forged evidence about Iraq's nuclear capabilities in his State of the Union address?

Although you addressed this issue on Sunday on both Meet the Press and This Week with George Stephanopoulos, your comments did nothing to clarify this issue. In fact, your responses contradicted other known facts and raised a host of new questions.

Bush WMD Lies Exposed by Hand-Picked Ambassador on Niger Story

When it comes right down to it, it doesn’t get any more damning than this: the ambassador hand-picked by the Bush Administration to look into the Niger nuclear materials justification used by the Bushies to invade has come clean and called them liars.

Joseph C. Wilson, the retired United States ambassador whose CIA-directed mission to Niger in early 2002 helped debunk claims that Iraq had tried to obtain uranium there for nuclear weapons, has said for the first time publicly that U.S. and British officials ignored his findings and exaggerated the public case for invading Iraq.

Wilson, whose 23-year career included senior positions in Africa and Iraq, where he was acting ambassador in 1991, said the false allegations that Iraq was trying to buy uranium oxide from Niger about three years ago were used by President Bush and senior administration officials as a central piece of evidence to support their assertions that Iraq had reconstituted its nuclear weapons program.

CLAIMS & FACTS: Iraq-Al Qaeda Connections

SADDAM-AL QAEDA CONNECTION
CLAIM: “The regime of Saddam Hussein cultivated ties to terror while it built weapons of mass destruction.” – President Bush’s UN speech, 9/23/03

CLAIM: “Iraq the central front in the war on terror.” – President Bush’s UN speech, 9/23/03

CLAIM: “You can't distinguish between al-Qaida and Saddam.” – President Bush, 9/25/02CLAIM: “There's no question that Saddam Hussein had al Qaeda ties.” – President Bush, 9/17/03

CLAIM: “There was a relationship between Iraq and al-Qaeda.” – Vice President Cheney, 9/14/03

FACT: No evidence exists to substantiate the claim that Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda had any connections. In fact, most intelligence points to the contrary.

FACT: Under the headline “Allies Find No Links Between Iraq, Al Qaeda,” the LA Times reported on 11/4/02 that U.S. allies fighting Al Qaeda in Europe found no evidence of an Iraqi-Qaeda connection.

FACT: On 12/18/01, the London Telegraph reported a story under the headline “Iraq link to Sept 11 attack and anthrax is ruled out” detailing how key assertions made by the Administration were unfounded.

FACT: The NY Times in June reported, “The chairman of the monitoring group appointed by the United Nations Security Council to track Al Qaeda told reporters that his team had found no evidence linking Al Qaeda to Saddam Hussein.” <6/27/03>

FACT: The bipartisan September 11th commission report “undercuts Bush administration claims before the war that Hussein had links to Al Qaeda.” .

FACT: The New York Times reported “since the fall of Baghdad, coalition forces have not brought to light any significant evidence demonstrating the bond between Iraq and Al Qaeda…Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Abu Zubaydah, the two highest-ranking Qaeda operatives in custody, have told investigators that Mr. bin Laden shunned cooperation with Saddam Hussein.” .

FACT: National Journal reported on 8/9/03, that “three former Bush Administration officials who worked on intelligence and national security issues said the prewar evidence tying Al Qaedea was tenuous, exaggerated and often at odds with the conclusions of key intelligence agencies.”

................................................................

Part One: The Pretext
WMDs, Imminent Peril, Al Qaeda and 9-11

Bush repeatedly attempted to play the part of a reluctant warrior who would act if “war was thrust upon us.”

For example, in an October 7, 2002 address to the nation, Bush stated that seeking a UN resolution “does not mean that military action is imminent or unavoidable.”

According to former Treasury Secretary O’Neil and several unnamed administration sources, the Bush administration began planning to invade Iraq at its very first National Security Council meeting in January 2001, with the President stating “Go find me a way to do this.” Administration documents planning for post-war Iraq date back as early as January and February 2001 – months before September 11th. (71)


In the weekend following September 11th, despite Vice President Cheney’s clear statement that there was no evidence or Iraqi involvement, there was great debate over whether to invade Iraq or concentrate on Afghanistan first according to Deputy Defense Secretary Wolfowitz. (67)

Bush was anything but a reluctant warrior, as the decision to invade Iraq was made as early as March 2002. At that time, Bush interrupted a meeting between Condoleezza Rice and three Senators to exclaim, “ Saddam! We’re taking him out.” By the first week of July 2002, Rice told a State Department Officer, “the decision’s been made, don’t waste your breath.” At that time, Cheney also told Republican Senators that the question of attacking was not a matter of if, but when.


Chief of Central Command Tommy Franks admits that he has been preparing for the war since March 2002. At this time, the Bush administration also began shifting intelligence operations, linguists and special operatives aimed at al Qaeda to preparation for war with Iraq. (16)

The Bush administration repeatedly justified a war with Iraq based on its known possession of weapons of mass destruction.

The Bush administration’s chief Weapons Inspector, David Kay, concluded after 10-months of investigation that “I don’t think existed.” (76)

In October 2002, the State Department’s Intelligence and Research Department told the White House that its WMD conclusions were inaccurate, reporting that “the activities we have detected do not . . .add up to a compelling case that Iraq is currently pursuing . . . an integrated and comprehensive approach to acquiring nuclear weapons.”

In February 2003, both the weapons inspectors and the IAEA told the White House that there was “no evidence of ongoing nuclear or nuclear-related activities” and “they had not found any weapons of mass destruction.” (79)


When asked about the failure to find Iraqi WMDs by Dianne Sawyer, President Bush replied “So what’s the difference.” (60)

On January 27, 2004, Bush claimed that “It was choice to make, and he did not let in.”

It was President Bush who ordered the inspectors to leave Iraq because of an imminent invasion. (78)

WMDs

On June 1, 2003, Bush proclaimed that “we found a biological laboratory in Iraq which the UN prohibited.”

A review by US and UK experts has found this claim to be false. The mobile trailers at issue were facilities to fill weather balloons. (21)

The Bush administration religiously chanted the contention that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction as its basis for a war.

For example, in his address to the nation Bush said the intelligence “leaves no doubt that . . . Iraq . . . continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised.”

Vice President Cheney also was part of the chorus and declared that “there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction.”

Former Treasury Secretary O’Neil, who was a member of the National Security Council, indicated that “in the 23 months I was there, I never saw anything that I would characterized as evidence of weapons of mass destruction.” (71)

After ten-months of searching for WMDs, investigators have found no support for the claim that Iraq possessed nuclear, biological or chemical weapons. In January, the Bush administration quietly pulled its 400 man weapons inspection team out of Iraq “because its works was essentially done”. (64)

David Kay, the chief weapons inspector, concluded “I don’t think they existed.” “What everyone was talking about is stockpiles produced after the end of the <1991> Gulf War and I don’t think there was a large-scale production program in the Nineties.”(76)

This is consistent with David Kay’s interim report that concluded that Iraq’ capacity to produce new chemical munitions “was reduced - - if not entirely destroyed” during the 1990 Gulf War, 1998 bombings and 13 years of sanctions and inspections. (52)

Even Donald Rumsfeld Defense Secretary Rumsfeld confirmed “I don’t think we’ll discover anything.”(17)

In January 2004, The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace report on WMDS in Iraq concluded that the evidence prior to the war indicated that Iraq’s nuclear program had been dismantled and its chemical weapons had lost most of their lethality. In addition, the report concluded that the administration “systematically misrepresented the threat from Iraq’s WMD and ballistic missile programs”. (70)

This is consistent with other pre-war reports. For example, in September 2002, the Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency concluded “there is no reliable information on whether Iraq is producing and stockpiling chemical weapons, or whether Iraq has – or will – establish its chemical warfare agent production facilities.” (17)

A Canadian military analyst also disputes that chemical weapons are WMDs, explaining that “biological and chemical weapons are akin to weapons of mass terror. They are military ineffective.” (24) The Carnegie report shared this view, explaining that the “conflation of three distinct threats, very different in the danger they pose, distorted the cost/benefit analysis of the war.” (70)

University of Michigan disarmament expert noted that “his could be the first war in history that was justified largely by an illusion.”

9. It is Clinton's fault!
If Clinton had not ordered the Military to destroy Iraqs WMD, then we would have found some this year! But no, the military had to go and get rid of every trace of Iraqi WMD. Durn Clinton.
