If this article is true, it brings about a new twist for the war in Iraq.
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.
In other words, he had the intentions to build a nuclear weapon.
He admired Americans, particularly ex-Presidents Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan
Reagan supported him and Clinton didn't do jack shit when it came to Saddam firing on our airplanes patrolling the no fly zone in Northern and Southern Iraq.
- but loathed the two Bushes he fought wars with.
Because they didn't put up with his bullshit and took him on for the bully he was.
So here we have an admission of intention to build a nuclear weapon. Whether he had WMD's before the invasion is debatable, he's being portrayed as them being deceptions, he did have the desire for them.
If he didn't have those weapons, then the ruse backfired on him in a big way. He was captured and it the WMD's ruse was a main factor in our invasion of Iraq.
The "Butcher of Baghdad" also confessed he ordered Kurdish civilians gassed and slaughtered thousands more, their remains left in mass graves.
Everyone conveniently forgets this fact. We're finding mass graves all over Iraq, and everyone wants to talk about it's the "big bad United States who attacked a peaceful country", yet, almost 200,000 people were killed by Saddam. I suppose we were just supposed to turn the other way and let that slide eh?
Liberals never want to get their hands dirty when it comes to dealing with a monster, they just want to second guess things. Personally, I would LOVE to see a liberal stand up to a bully on the international stage and actually follow through with it instead of undermining the military and second guessing field commanders.
But I suppose that's like asking Santa Clause for a new bike for Christmas. It's a fairy tale that has no basis in fact.
