Saddam WMDs
February 18, 2006
We recently posted about the Saddam tapes that were picked up by ABC.
Saddam asks, “In the future, what would prevent a booby-trapped car causing a nuclear explosion in Washington or a germ or a chemical one? This is coming, this story is coming, but not from Iraq.”
The way ABC News told the story, Saddam was saying that Iraq itself would not launch a WMD attack on the United States.
However Thursday evening, the translator of those tapes, former U.N. weapons inspector Bill Tierney, told Hannity & Colmes he disagrees with ABC’s interpretation of what Saddam was saying.
“I disagree completely, because Saddam also says in other tapes that the war is ongoing,” Tierney said, according to a transcript of the program.
“And when I was there [in Iraq] as an inspector, what struck me is that these people were still in the fight. There was no change of heart like you had in Germany after World War II. They were still in the fight. It makes perfect sense.”
“I’m going to tell you something. Before we went in there, the Iraqis moved all their equipment out except for a few massive machines that they couldn’t move. That — that four days of bombing ( by Clinton)was a joke….Iraq “rebuilt everything” after the bombing.” Tierney said on Hannity & Colmes.
