Iraq’s Former Info Min Says Baghdad Had No WMD
DUBAI (Reuters) - Iraq’s former Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf said on Wednesday Iraq had destroyed all banned chemical weapons, missiles and its nuclear program immediately after the 1991 Gulf War.
Finally! a credible source!

Sahaf -- nicknamed asshat "Comical Ali" during the U.S.-led war -- was speaking to Abu Dhabi television in the first of a seven-series program about his account of the war that toppled President Saddam Hussein. Iraq’s alleged weapons of mass destruction were a key justification for launching the war.
"All these horrible people kept asking me questions!!! I just panicked!

"Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction, this is the truth," he said. "The chemical weapons and missiles were destroyed since the 1991 war, also the nuclear program."
And we bought all of those skeletons & bodies from India -- Saddam wanted to open up a new medical supplies business.

Sahaf said Baghdad had also destroyed a program to develop biological weapons because "it was useless." U.N. arms inspectors never found proof of chemical or biological arms in Iraq, although they did uncover al-Samoud missiles that exceeded the 90-mile range permitted by the United Nations .
Actually, the biological weapons people were killed by the chemical weapons people -- they were very jealous of the k00l names they got to use, like Anthrax.

Sahaf, who turned himself in to U.S. forces and was later released, went to the United Arab Emirates in July, saying he might not return to his homeland.
The beggars in Baghdad have reportedly changed their plea to "Alms for keeping Sahaf in Dubai!"

The former minister is famous for his repeated denials that U.S. troops were in Baghdad in spite of the evidence.
Is he still denying it? I haven’t heard...
