Saddam Lied To Freak Out The Iranians

My first reaction to this was, "Of course!" My second reaction was, "Finally, some vindication for the experts who have been saying this for years!"

60 MINUTES -- Saddam Hussein initially didn't think the U.S. would invade Iraq to destroy weapons of mass destruction, so he kept the fact that he had none a secret to prevent an Iranian invasion he believed could happen. The Iraqi dictator revealed this thinking to George Piro, the FBI agent assigned to interrogate him after his capture.

The White House knowingly used Saddam's bluff as actual evidence of WMD. The awfulness is staggering. Even after all these years.

And of course the wingnuts are crying bullshit.
