Septmeber 12, 2002, President Bush making the case for the 2003 Iraq invasion: ?Right now, Iraq is expanding and improving facilities that were used for the production of biological weapons.?
?The regime is rebuilding and expanding facilities capable of producing chemical weapons.?
?We have been more than patient. We have tried sanctions. We have tried the carrot of ?oil for food? and the stick of coalition military strikes. But Saddam Hussein has defied all these efforts and continues to develop weapons of mass destruction.?
Sure seems like they were selling an active program to me
