 Transcript for November 27 - Meet the Press, online at MSNBC - MSNBC.com
BIDEN:  Let me ask you, Tim, a rhetorical question.  He sat on your program in the fall before the war and said, "Saddam Hussein has reconstituted his nuclear weapons."  I simultaneously said, "There is simply no evidence to sustain that.  None.  Zero.  None."  I said it then, I said it again, I say it now.
BIDEN:  Well, even nuclear capability, you--we did not have access to the same stuff that the president gets every morning, as John will acknowledge.  We didn't realize that--how discredited the sources were that were being quoted to us about the reconstitution of a nuclear capability.
BIDEN:  But remember--no, remember what I voted for was for the president to be able to go to war, if, if--I've got the resolution here--if, in fact, it was to enforce the existing breaches that existed in the U.N. resolution and if he could show there were weapons of mass destruction.
