The 8th link from the top is a post I made on DU on June 6th 2005, with that quote as the title.

It was in the wake of the Downing Street Minutes, and of course we were all hoping it would lead to shrub's impeachment, har har.
More germaine to the OP though are the 2 other quotes in that post, from Colin Powell and Condi, and

Here they are again:

&quot Saddam Hussein) has not developed any significant capability with respect to weapons of mass destruction. He is unable to project conventional power against his neighbours."
- Colin Powell, February 24, 2001

"We are able to keep his arms from him. His military forces have not been rebuilt."
- Condoleeza Rice, July 2001
