"Saddam tapes"; Hussein saying IRAQ WOULD NOT attack the USA.
NO, the tapes aren't a "smoking gun"...except for bush & Cabal's criminal trials.

Newsweek: Saddam Tapes: What They Don't Prove

The tapes were taken without permission from an FBI-run translation center, officials say, and are years old. Two government officials, requesting anonymity because of the sensitive subject, say the tapes in no way prove that WMD stockpiles or programs existed at the time of the U.S. invasion or were moved to another country before U.S. troops arrived.

One of the most dramatic moments on the 12 hours of tape comes when Saddam predicts —during a meeting in the mid 1990s — a terrorist attack on the United States. "Terrorism is coming. I told the Americans a long time before August 2nd and told the British as well & that in the future there will be terrorism with weapons of mass destruction." Saddam goes on to say such attacks would be difficult to stop. "In the future, what would prevent a booby trapped car causing a nuclear explosion in Washington or a germ or a chemical one?" But he adds that Iraq would never do such a thing. "This is coming, this story is coming but not from Iraq."

A whole lot of people around the world for years have been warning the USA that terrorism is gonna hit us sooner or later. Including me. So when do I get invaded and occupied?

NO WMD IN IRAQ SINCE 1991. Get over it, rightwingnuts.

2. The Bush apologists are latching onto this:
Edited on Wed Feb-15-06 04:45 PM by Rex_Goodheart
"Charles Duelfer, who led the official U.S. search for weapons of mass destruction after the war, says 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."

3. INTENTIONS...OMG! Good thing we slaughtered 285,000 people
to protect us against that thar "INTENTION" that the bushCabal "know for a fact"!

And what "circumstances permitted"? Notice the US "msm" never bother to point out the FACT that the UN and IAEA never had any intention of quitting inspections, meaning there wouldn't have been any ""circumstances permitted" for any "intention".


What a bunch of utter bullshit.

7. It just confirms what we knew before
That Saddam intended to build and have WMDs and was obstructing the UN. He did this throughout the 1990's, but we managed to get back in into the country in early 2003. However, he still wasn't able to build anything due to containment. Also, even if Saddm did have WMDs, he would not have struck first with them against America. He said that he would not hit D.C. on a PRIVATE tape. What does that tell you? He's conservative in his use of weapons. If he had them in 2003 he would've used them because he was being attacked, but he would not have used them to launch the first strike against D.C.

11. Yes, they were kept from the public because the real story is
that Saddam said that Iraq would never attack the US. AND i wonder what else is on those tapes and i also wonder if there weren't other tapes of conversations between Saddam and other heads of state and officials who had met with him...like say, Rumsfeld? Wonder how many west implicating tapes were destroyed?

15. Just because it isn't true doesn't mean the sheeple won't believe it.
And what media will disprove it?
