Sanity -> It was all about fooling Iran? (11/13/2007 6:45:52 AM)
Prior to the Allied effort to liberate Iraq, the whole world thought that Saddam Hussein posessed WMDs. Maybe this is why: quote: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/wn_report/2007/11/13/2007-11-13_in_book_fbi_agent_says_saddam_hussein_cr-2.html WASHINGTON - After confessing to slaughtering 180,000 Kurds and plotting to build a doomsday nuke, Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein was so upset when his FBI interrogator left for home that he cried like a baby.... ...Until 9/11, Saddam thought UN sanctions would go away and he could make a nuclear bomb. His prewar weapons of mass destruction deceptions were a ruse to convince Iran - whom he feared - that he had an arsenal.

The whole world didn't think Saddam had WMDs, that is something the Bush administration kept repeating in hope, I presume, that Americans would believe the whole world thought Saddam had WMDs (whatever the fuck WMDs entail). As for going into Iraq because Saddam was a butcher, that doesn't wash, I could list numerous butchers the US has ignored.

This is what I have been saying all along, there were numerous articles floating around about this even prior to the first Gulf War. Newsweek, Time, and so on. One of the reasons he went into Kuwait was to obtain a controllable seaport for selling oil to finance warring with Iran and in fact he asked the US if they would react if he invaded Kuwait and the response was that the US had no interest in arab-arab affairs. Iran would dearly love to get its hands on Iraq (at least in big brother style) and the Turks on the Kurds. This is a duh and a half. Ron

This is news? Saddam had WMD in the first gulf war and never used them. They weren't meant for us, they were for Iran and for controlling Iraq, you know the place with "no history of ethnic violence" per the Administration...
