Iraqi Claims His Lies about WMD's led to Iraq war

An Iraqi Intelligence informer that Colin Powell used to justify we invade Iraq has said he made up lies about Saddam having WMD's so the rigime would be toppled. He said he was glad his lies led to the Saddam regime falling and Saddam being put to death so Iraq could be free once again. Rafi Ahmed Alwan-Al Janabi said even though 100,000 civilians died it was the right cause for Iraq to be free. So to the" Bush lied thousands died" crowd I say this, "Bush didn't lie the Iraqi lied." There are several loop holes in this guy's story if it is true. First of all I distinctly remember members of the Iraq Liberation Front (ILF) coming to then President Bill Clinton asking for help in ridding Saddam because he had WMD's. This led to Clinton bombing from the air. We know Saddam gassed his own people and put them in mass graves by the thousands which we later uncovered.

All the countries said Saddam had them . France said he had them, Germany said he had them, Saudi Arabia said he had them. You mean to tell me this was all because of this one guy??? Later on after Saddam had been captured, the American soldiers who were his guards said he told them he concocted the story of having WMDs to keep Iran at bay since the Iran/Iraq war. The Bush administration asked Saddam three times before we invaded Iraq to give up his WMDs and each time he refused. That made him look guilty. When the inspectors went in every time they wanted to check a place out, Saddam would make them wait several hours before allowing them inside and eventually asking them to leave the country.. This also made him look guilty. If he was bluffing then he played a dangerous game which led to his downfall and eventually demise. Actually that is a good thing for the world with Saddam out of the way and the world is a safer place and if he didn't have them he would eventually have acquired them. In fact we found 50 tons of yellow cake uranium there which we shipped back here which the media is lothed to report. In a short article I read that the media's darling Joe Wilson (remember him and his wife?) even said he did discover Saddam was buying Uranium from Nigeria which he was sent to investigate, but said if he reported that he was afraid Saddam would use it so he said Saddam wasn't buying any from Nigeria. The media covered that up pretty fast too.

Another theory says Saddam had Russians take out all the WMDs as we were going in and shipped them to Syria:

"The short answer to the question of where the WMDs Saddam bought from the Russians went was that they went to Syria and Lebanon," former Deputy Undersecretary of Defense John. A. Shaw told an audience Saturday at a privately sponsored "Intelligence Summit" in Alexandria, Va. (www.intelligencesummit.org)"They were moved by Russian Spetsnaz (special forces) units out of uniform, that were specifically sent to Iraq to move the weaponry and eradicate any evidence of its existence," he said.

I report you decide :) Check out some of these comments from readers:

"Saddam did not (allow) freedom in our land," the Iraqi said. "There are no other political parties. You have to believe what Saddam says, and do what Saddam wants. And I don't accept that. I have to do something for my country. So I did this and I am satisfied, because there is no dictator in Iraq any more."Today in America you could simply replace 'Saddam' with '0bama' and understand the situation our nation finds itself in.

I don't care what anybody says. I am glad Saddam is gone. Saddam supported terrorism which many of you have forgotten, he fired at our planes in the no fly zoen which is in itself an act of war, he threatened Israel, and laundered billions of dollars in the oil-for-food scam. Even on the issue of WMD's, Saddam himself admitted that he went out of his way to fool the world into thinking he had this stuff. Saddam's own Generals thought he possessed WMD which is why they were scrambling to find them in the last hours before the invasion. Not to mention that there are still rumors that Saddam might have smuggled WMD stuff into Syria. According to Charles Duefler, Saddam had every intention of reviving his WMD programs once the sanctions were lifted which were erroding around the time of the invasion. So that means by now in 2011, we might be dealing with an Iraq with WMD. That is a threat we no longer have to deal with and I am glad.

Iraqi: I'm proud my WMD lies led to war in Iraq...
