I guess it's only a taboo if a conservative President says it.

"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of
weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat
to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of
the weapons inspection process." -- Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D
CA), Dec. 16, 1998

"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological
and chemical weapons throughout his country." -- Al Gore,
Sept. 23, 2002

"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is
seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction." --
Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA), Sept. 27, 2002

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence
reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his
chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile
delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also
given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including
al Qaeda members." -- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY), Oct 10,
2002

"We are in possession of what I think to be compelling
evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number
of years, a developing capacity for the production and
storage of weapons of mass destruction... So the threat of
Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is
real..." -- Sen. John F. Kerry (D-MA), Jan. 23. 2003

These folks drew like conclusions as President Bush from like intel reports.

It's interesting to note that several points keep on being sidestepped by those who criticize President Bush's decisions regarding the invasion of Iraq.
