| ELF - interesting article Saddam 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 interrogators’ 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 he’s an idiot? I’ve always wondered this myself. Why not come clean, get sanctions lifted and then resume? I guess it’s the "me heap big Arab stud" syndrome |

| #1 if in fact he did not have wmd saddam would of never admitted it - he built his reputation in the middle east based on the fact he had these weapons. without them he had no trump cards in dealing with the likes of Iran and Sauidis. If it was a bluff it worked on them - but not on good ole bush who finally called his bluff. I persoanlly believe he did have these weapons and will never find the smoking gun the dems are pounding for. It is just too bad the american people are ignorant in the why states deal with each other and bush had to use wmd to further amercican policies in the region. |
