WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Bush administration said on Friday it had no evidence that any of Iraq (news - web sites)'s alleged weapons of mass destruction had been hidden in neighboring Syria.
In an interview with WTVT-TV in Tampa, Florida, White House national security adviser Condoleezza Rice (news - web sites) defended prewar intelligence on Iraq that Washington used to justify the invasion. Despite U.S. assertions that Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) had chemical and biological arms, none has been found.
"The American people can be certain that we went to war on solid information, on information that had been gathered over 12 years, on a history of use of weapons of mass destruction, and that we are finding confirmation that this was somebody who hid his activities from the United Nations (news - web sites) and intended to continue those programs," Rice said.
