Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld quotes President Bush in commenting about the work of U.N. weapons inspectors in Iraq during the Pentagon press briefing on Jan. 15, 2003. Bush said, "Inspectors do not have the duty or the ability to uncover terrible weapons hidden in a vast country. The responsibility of inspectors is simply to confirm evidence of voluntary and total disarmament. Saddam Hussein has the responsibility to provide that evidence, as directed, and in full."
