WHAT THE BLAIR SEPTEMBER DOSSIER ACTUALLY SAID
"What I believe
the assessed intelligence has established beyond doubt is that Saddam has continued to produce
chemical and biological weapons, that he continues in his efforts
to develop nuclear weapons....
I am in no doubt that the threat is serious and current....the
document discloses that his military planning allows for some of
the WMD to be ready within 45 minutes of an order to use them....
The threat posed to international peace and security, when WMD are in the hands of a brutal and aggressive regime like
Saddams, is real.... We must ensure that he does not get to
use the
weapons he has...."
Foreward by the Prime
Minister, The Right Honourable Tony Blair MP

September 2002
"This chapter
sets out what
we know of Saddam
Husseins chemical, biological, nuclear and ballistic
missile programmes, drawing on all the available evidence. While
it takes account of the results from UN inspections and other
publicly available information, it also draws heavily on the latest intelligence about Iraqi efforts to develop their
programmes and
capabilities
since 1998. The main conclusions [include] that.... Iraq has a useable chemical and biological weapons capability, in breach of UNSCR 687, which has included
recent
production of
chemical and biological agents... Iraq continues to work on
developing nuclear weapons, in breach of its obligations under
the Non-Proliferation Treaty and in breach of UNSCR 687. Uranium has been sought from
Africa that has
no civil nuclear application in Iraq... Iraqs military
forces are
able to use
chemical and biological weapons, with command, control and logistical
arrangements in place. The Iraqi military are able to deploy these weapons within 45 minutes of a decision to do
so...."

"In
contradiction to Dr Kelly, the government's leading expert with
access to the underlying intelligence, the foreword to the document comprises an
unqualified assertion by the Prime Minister that at the time of
the production of the September dossier Saddam Hussein had
chemical and biological weapons. This was stated to be 'beyond
doubt' based on 'assessed intelligence'. The Prime Minister was
certain, whilst the country's leading expert had 'no
idea'. On the basis of this dossier, and the follow-on
one in February - itself based in large part on material copied
from a ten year old student thesis - Members of Parliament voted
for war.... Would MPs have voted for war had they known that the
government's leading expert... considered the only current risk
to be a 30 per cent chance that Iraq had chemical weapons. And
would they have voted for war had they realised that the
principal documents submitted to the UN as evidence of Iraq's
nuclear ambitions were exposed as forgeries barely 10 days
earlier?....."

"President
Bush, asked about the Niger issue at a news conference during his
visit to South Africa, did not answer directly but said that he
was 'certain that Saddam Hussein had a weapons of mass
destruction programme'. Like Mr Blair, he has dropped the
assertion that Iraq actually had weapons. Both now say that it had a 'programme.'

"There is no longer any serious doubt
that Bush administration officials deceived us into war. The key
question now is why so many influential people are in denial,
unwilling to admit the obvious.... even people who aren't
partisan Republicans shy away from confronting the
administration's dishonest case for war, because they don't want
to face the implications."
