1. I think he said something to the effect of...

"Saddam told his commanders to use WMD, the very WMD he claims he doesn't have." He might have said more.

2. He also said that "we'd already found them"

"But for those who say we haven't found the
banned manufacturing devices or banned weapons, they're wrong. We found them.".

3. It was Ari Fleischer who said something similar ...

Many nations have voiced a commitment to peace and security. And now they must demonstrate that commitment to peace and security in the only effective way, by supporting the immediate and unconditional disarmament of Saddam Hussein.

The dictator of Iraq and his weapons of mass destruction are a threat to the security of free nations. He is a danger to his neighbors. He's a sponsor of terrorism. He's an obstacle to progress in the Middle East. For decades he has been the cruel, cruel oppressor of the Iraq people.

8. You are watching the interview?

caught some of it on the news and couldn't bear to watch anymore of his tight-lipped, rigid, barely suppressed hysterical fabrications of fact.
