This is easier than I thought.

Prewar statements
"Washington is awash in prewar quotations, with Democrats avidly taking inventory of the Bush administration's most dubious pronouncements about Iraq's weapons programs," Ryan Lizza writes in the latest issue of the New Republic.
"But not all of the most interesting, now seemingly exaggerated, claims are getting attention," Mr. Lizza said.
"For instance, one high government official confidently asserted last October, 'We know that [Saddam Hussein] has chemical and biological weapons.' A leading hawk argued that Saddam 'has large and growing stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons,' including 'mustard gas, VX nerve agent, and a range of other chemical weapons.'
"Another official maintained, '[We] know that he continues to develop weapons of mass destruction [WMD], including nuclear devices; and he may soon have the ability to use nuclear weapons against other nations.' Commenting on Iraq's biological weapons program, yet another official said, 'Most elements of the program are larger and more advanced than they were before the Gulf war.'
"Who are these mysterious hawks whose prewar analyses of Iraq's WMD capabilities now seem so overblown? John Edwards, Joe Lieberman, Dick Gephardt, and John Kerry. And their past statements are one reason that most of the Democrats running for president are still only tiptoeing around the issue of the missing WMD."


good strategy, the GOP never saw it coming


(if only the Dems were that smart....)
