Just to add a little more validity to the claim, I pulled a "LexisNexis" search on it and came up with a little more backup on the "Nuclear weapons" claim:
The Christian Science Monitor, March 21, 2003

"Still, on television Sunday,
Vice President Dick Cheney insisted, "We believe [Saddam Hussein] has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons." President Bush, on television Monday evening, was more cautious. He spoke of the danger of chemical and biological, "or, one day, nuclear weapons."

"The director of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Mohamed ElBaradei, says there isn't even a "plausible indication" that Iraq has resumed developing nuclear weapons.
Vice President Dick Cheney, on NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday, said Hussein "has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons."
The Washington Post March 18, 2003 Tuesday

On the same day, Vice President Cheney asserted just the opposite: "We know he's been absolutely devoted to trying to acquire nuclear weapons, and
we believe he has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons." These things can never be determined with precision, but if Cheney is simply mouthing off, he and Bush must someday be held to account."
There's more, but I think the point has been sufficiently made.
Stumble It!
