Saddam Hussein told an FBI interviewer before he was hanged that he allowed the world to believe he had weapons of mass destruction because he was worried about appearing weak to Iran, according to declassified accounts of the interviews released yesterday. The former Iraqi president also denounced Osama bin Laden as "a zealot" and said he had no dealings with al-Qaeda.
Hussein, in fact, said he felt so vulnerable to the perceived threat from "fanatic" leaders in Tehran that he would have been prepared to seek a "security agreement with the United States to protect [Iraq] from threats in the region."
Not to beat a dead horse or anything, but the invasion of Iraq was completely unjustified.

But that was just one of the four dozen reasons they gave us for going into Iraq (albeit, many retroactively).
This makes me sad. Bush....leaves me speechless.
