Well I'll Be Dipped...

Have a look at this.

NEW YORK -
Saddam Hussein told aides in the mid-1990s that he warned the United States it could be hit by a terrorist attack, ABC News reported Wednesday, citing 12 hours of tapes the network obtained of the former Iraqi dictator's talks with his Cabinet.

One of Saddam's son-in-laws also explained how
Iraq hid its biological weapons programs from U.N. inspectors, according to the tapes from August 1995.

Now from the headline, "Saddam Reportedly Warned U.S. of Terrorism," and the first paragraph it sounds like Saddam was on the red phone with George Bush, telling him some dudes were going to fly planes into the World Trade Center next Tuesday, which obviously isn't what happened. I'm sure it was a non-specific warning, and almost useless, so I don't see anything of particular interest there. But further into the article is where you find the real news, and by further into the article, I mean the last two paragraphs...

Charles Duelfer, who led the official U.S. search for weapons of mass destruction, told ABC News the tapes show extensive deception but don't prove that weapons were still hidden in Iraq at the time of the U.S.-led war in 2003.

"What they do is support the conclusion in the report which we made in the last couple of years, that the regime had the intention of building and rebuilding weapons of mass destruction, when circumstances permitted," he said.

See, the Associated Press has to make it look like we did something wrong, and then leave the important details at the end of the story. Basically, the invasion of Iraq was justified. There were no WMDs found, but there was definitely intent to acquire them. So what if they warned us of any terrorist attacks? Like I said, I don't think it could have been anything specific enough for us to have prevented anything, and even if it was, that was on Clinton's watch, not Bush's. And that's all I have to say about that.
