Question 1:

	President George W. Bush

Question 2:

Which administration official threw around this threat on CNN in 2002? "The problem here is that there will always be some uncertainty about how quickly he can acquire nuclear weapons. But we don't what the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud."

	National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice			President George W. Bush

	Assistant Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz

Question 3:

September 28, 2002, who declared, "The regime [In Iraq] has long-standing and continuing ties to terrorist groups, and there are al Qaeda terrorists inside Iraq."

	Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld			Secretary of State Colin Powell

	President George W. Bush

Question 4:

May 29, 2003, a startling announcement was made. "We found the weapons of mass destruction." Who boldly unveiled this discovery, despite the the Defense Intelligence Agency debunking it a few days prior?
