Saddam said he faked having WMDs
Former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein told an FBI interviewer before he was hanged that he led the world to believe that his country had weapons of mass destruction because he did not want to appear weak to the Islamic Republic of Iran, according to declassified FBI documents released Wednesday.
Hussein was quoted as saying that he was so concerned about radical Iranian leaders that he was ready to sign a security agreement with the United States guaranteeing protection from Iran.
In the interviews, Hussein maintained that Iran was Iraq’s major threat due to their common border and believed that Iran sought to annex southern Iraq into Iran.
Saddam also referred to Osama Bin Laden as a “zealot” and said that he did not deal with al-Qaida. But then again, no one ever said he did, that was all a state run media fabrication to hurt Bush.
Of course Saddam had WMD programs, 500 metric tonnes of enriched uranium, about what Iran likely has today, and chemical weapons technology through dual use materials, facilities and machines. So the ruse had enough truth to make it believable.
How did we know Iraq had the enriched uranium? Simple it was shipped to Canada. Just because the state run media didn’t advertise it, doesn’t mean they didn’t know about it. And the chemical weapons dual use technology, yep found all that as well.
