<<...The White House has insisted Saddam was a threat to the United States and had weapons of mass destruction capability, but KAY told NBC television: "All I can say is 'denial' is not just a river in Egypt." "The report is scary enough without misrepresenting what it says," he added. Iraq "was not an imminent and growing threat because of its own weapons of mass destruction," he added. Bush said Wednesday there was a risk that Iraq could have transferred weapons to terrorist groups. But KAY told CNN television "Right now we have a lot of people who are desperate to justify the Bush administration's decision to go to war with Iraq. "They will focus on issues such as intent. You will also hear that although we haven't found the weapons or manufacturing capability, they could have been shipped across the border. You can't ship that which you haven't produced. You can't bury that which you haven't obtained or produced." "Look, Saddam was delusional. He had a lot of intent. He wanted to be Saladin the Great, of the Middle East yet again. He wanted to put Iraq in a preeminent position to remove the US from the region," KAY added. "He had a lot of intent. He didn't have capabilities. Intent without capabilities is not an imminent threat." "There is the issue that remains as to whether the scientists and engineers living in the chaotic, corrupt situation in Iraq might have transferred individually technology to terrorists," he said. But "that was not the case the administration made."...>> Message 20618464
