The Presidential Candidates' 2nd Debate
by noteworthy at 4:28 pm EDT, Oct 9, 2004

I saw a unique threat in Saddam Hussein -- as did my opponent -- because we thought he had weapons of mass destruction. And the unique threat was that he could give weapons of mass destruction to an organization like Al Qaeda, and the harm they inflicted on us with airplanes would be multiplied greatly by weapons of mass destruction. And that was a serious, serious threat.

We all thought there was weapons there, Robin. My opponent thought there was weapons there. That's why he called him a grave threat. I wasn't happy when we found out there wasn't weapons, and we've got an intelligence group together to figure out why.

Okay, so let me make sure I understand this. You feared for the safety of the American public. Your fear was founded on the belief that Iraq had WMD. When you found out that Iraq did not have WMD, what was your reaction? A sigh of relief, perhaps, for the safety of the American public? No. Your reaction was unhappiness. Anger.

So you were more angry about being wrong than you were happy about being safe? Is that right?

Hrm.
