"Mr President, I would like very briefly to go back over the resignation of Mr David Kay, the US official in charge of finding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, possessed, it would seem, by that country’s government.
I would also like to go back over the statements made by the British specialist, Mr Kelly, which were followed by his suspicious death. Finally, I would like to go back over a recent admission by President Bush, this Sunday, in an interview broadcast by NBC, stating that Saddam Hussein and the Iraqi regime did not, in all likelihood, possess weapons of mass destruction, but that the war was nonetheless justifiable because, if they did not have weapons of mass destruction, it could perhaps have been possible for them to obtain them one day.
I believe that we should be concerned about this because it clearly means two things. First of all, Mr Bush and Mr Blair lied in a cynical and serious way. Then, a population has been starved for ten years under a false pretext, a war was launched under a false pretext and a State has been destroyed, also under a false pretext, with the backing of a number of governments of the European Union, which is an extremely serious fact."@en1
