Sammy lied to by Frogs and Russkies
ELF - interesting articleSaddam Hussein refused to order a counterattack against U.S. troops when war erupted in March because he misjudged the initial ground thrust as a ruse and had been convinced earlier by Russian and French (tap, tap - damn) contacts that he could avoid or survive a land invasion, former Iraqi deputy prime minister Tariq Aziz has told interrogators, according to U.S. officials. (then his mustache fell off) In addition to Aziz, interrogators have systematically interviewed dozens of former Iraqi generals, intelligence officers and scientists in recent months, while trying to isolate them from one another to prevent coordinated answers. Among the interrogatorsâ questions: If Hussein did not have chemical or biological weapons, why did he fail to disabuse U.S. and other intelligence services of their convictions that he did? Why did he also allow U.N. inspectors to conclude that he was being deceptive? Uh, because heâs an idiot? Iâve always wondered this myself. Why not come clean, get sanctions lifted and then resume? I guess itâs the "me heap big Arab stud" syndrome Posted by: Spot 2003-11-03 |
