I wonder if this will end the “Bush lied, people died” meme. Probably not. Scott Pelley interviewed FBI agent George Piro, who interrogated Saddam after his capture, for “60 Minutes.”
Saddam still wouldn’t admit he had no weapons of mass destruction, even when it was obvious there would be military action against him because of the perception he did. Because, says Piro, “For him, it was critical that he was seen as still the strong, defiant Saddam. He thought that [faking having the weapons] would prevent the Iranians from reinvading Iraq,” he tells Pelley.
About that George Soros-funded “study” the other day? Never mind.
Still, there will be those affected by Bush Derangement Syndrome (including some in the media) who will say, well, Bush knew Saddam was lying but acted like he didn’t so that he could say it was the WMD that justified the illegal, American imperialistic invasion of a peace-loving country. Just wait.
