CBS NEWS --
SADDAM BLUFFED AND DIED WHEN HIS BLUFF WAS CALLED

Writing in May of last year (THE FIVE IRAQI WAR LESSONS – www.jaygaskill.com/FiveLessons.htm ), I argued that:

Before the post-911 “Bush doctrine” was announced – governments that covertly sponsor or harbor terrorists are not diplomatically immune from US military intervention – the mischief makers of the world had grown accustomed to a softer, gentler America.

Saddam himself miscalculated by actually promoting leaks of misinformation that his field commanders had fearsome WMD’s. He was evidently thinking — in his “king of my world” thug-logic — that he could bluff a wounded USA into “pursuing diplomatic options” forever while he bribed his way out of the UN sanctions. Meantime, Libya harbored an A-Bomb development program; Pakistan was covertly selling nuclear bomb technology; and Yemen thought that it could forever escape accountability for looking away while al Qaeda planned to bomb the US Cole.

Today, January 24, 2008, CBS news revealed just how badly Saddam had miscalculated. The dead thug’s translator was quoted an interview with 60 minutes Reporter Scott Pelly.

The Headline should be:

SADDAM LIED AND THOUSANDS DIED

“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.”

….

Translator Piro: “He told [me that] he initially miscalculated... President Bush’s intentions. He thought the United States would retaliate with the same type of attack as we did in 1998...a four-day aerial attack …”
….

Saddam lied about having WMD’s.

“For him, it was critical that he was seen as still the strong, defiant Saddam. He thought that [bluffing] would prevent the Iranians from reinvading Iraq".

Saddam bragged privately to his translator about retaining the talent and infrastructure needed to restart his WMD program as soon as the sanctions were lifted.

Saddam lied about having WMD’s.

“He wanted to pursue all of WMD…to reconstitute his entire WMD program.”

Mr. Piro’s interview will be broadcast on CBS’ 60 Minutes, Sunday, Jan 27.

So much for the writer’s strike. You can’t make this stuff up.
