Show transcript0:03So they have a really delicate balance to walk between0:09keeping us relatively fearful, but not so fearful that we stop what we're doing and really examine how it is that they've been waging.0:21There are a lot of people who lie and get away with it.0:24And, uh, and that, uh, we will in fact find, um, uh, weapons or, or evidence of weapons programs that are, are conclusive.0:33I don't think we'll discover anything myself.0:37It appears that there were not weapons of mass destruction there.0:42You said you knew where they were.0:44I did not.0:45We know where they are. They're in the area around, uh, Tikrit and Baghdad and, and, uh, east, west, south, and north.0:51Well, first of all, I, I haven't lied.0:55There are a lot of people who lie and get away with it.0:58Talking about lies and your, your allegation that there was bulletproof evidence of ties between Al-Qaeda and Iraq.1:04Was that a lie?1:05Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised.1:18The, our people are going to find out the truth, and the truth will say that this intelligence is good intelligence, no doubt in my mind.1:25I don't know anybody that I can think of who has contended that the Iraqis had nuclear weapons.1:31And we believe he has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons.1:34Saddam Hussein is determined to get his hands on a nuclear bomb.1:38We cannot wait for the final proof.1:40He's got him. He's got him.1:41The smoking gun.1:42He's got him.1:43That could come in the form of a mushroom cloud.1:45Colin Powell didn't lie.1:50My colleagues, every statement I make today is backed up by sources, solid sources.1:56These are not assertions. What we're giving you are facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence.2:03He has not developed any significant capability with respect to weapons of mass destruction.2:08He is unable to project conventional power against his neighbors.2:13Are people going to find out the truth?2:15I have not suggested there's a connection between Iraq and the 9/11.2:19You have said in the past that it was, quote, pretty well confirmed.2:22No, I never said that.2:23Okay.2:24I never said.2:24I think that is...2:25That's absolutely not. What I said was, it's been pretty well confirmed that he did go to Prague and he did meet with a senior official of the Iraqi Intelligence Service.2:35Saddam Hussein aids and protects terrorists,2:40including members of Al-Qaeda.2:44Secretly and without fingerprints, he could provide one of his hidden weapons to terrorists or help them develop their own.2:51What did Iraq have to do with what?2:53The attack on the World Trade Center.2:55Nothing.2:56He said there were 3 main reasons for going to war in Iraq. Weapons of mass destruction.3:01Saddam Hussein has gone to elaborate lengths, spent enormous sums, taken great risks to build and keep weapons of mass destruction.3:11The claim that Iraq was sponsoring terrorists that had attacked us on 9/11.3:16Before September the 11th, many in the world believed that Saddam Hussein could be contained.3:21And that Iraq had purchased nuclear materials from Niger.3:26The regime is seeking a nuclear bomb.3:29Now, all 3 of those turned out, turned out to be false.3:32Uh, first, just if I might correct a misperception, I, I don't think we ever said, at least I know I didn't say, that there was a direct connection between September the 11th and, and,3:42and, and Saddam Hussein.3:43Who does the president think he's effing kidding?3:46Um, of course, it was information that was mistaken.3:49There are a lot of people who lie and get away with it.3:54Those weapons of mass destruction got to be somewhere.4:02Nope, no weapons over there.4:13Maybe under here.4:16When you have a precedent set like that, and you have somebody, George Tenet, acknowledging in his book that he knew that the administration was deceiving the American people into a situation that is murdering young men and women from this country and others,4:34that George Tenet and Dick Cheney and Condoleezza Rice and George Bush et al.4:38should be in fucking jail.4:53I'm tired of hell, and I'm not gonna break this anymore.4:57Go fuck yourself, Mr. King.4:59Gotta figure out.5:00What to do with, uh, all of the, uh, debris.5:05How about you? You made money off the golf floor, and now you're going to vote for your fascist son!5:12Old lies, war lies, still lies. Stop the lies.5:18Stop the war!5:27Andrew Card, Jr.5:37It is important.5:37We should be tried for treason. Do not be son of a bitch.6:00You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.6:06Then, in the name of democracy, let us use that power.
