This is also interesting:

RC: We all believed Saddam had WMD. What I kept saying was: So what?. They said he could give it to terrorists. But I said he's not that stupid. If he gave WMD to terrorists he would lose power.

Compare this to what Clarke had said about Iraq and Al Qaeda and chemical weapons two years before:

Clarke said that the U.S. government is "sure" that Iraqi nerve gas experts actually produced a powdered VX-like substance at the plant that, when mixed with bleach and water, would have become fully active VX nerve gas.
Clarke said U.S. intelligence does not know how much of the substance was produced at El Shifa or what happened to it. But he said that intelligence exists linking bin Laden to El Shifa's current and past operators, the Iraqi nerve gas experts and the National Islamic Front in Sudan.

So summing up, Clarke claims he said in 2001, sure Saddam has WMD's but he's too smart to give them to terrorists. But 2 years before, he was claiming Iraqi WMD experts linked to bin Ladin had produced VX nerve gas in the Sudan. Hmmmm.
