US records show Saddam was scared of Iran
Nigeria News.Net Thursday 2nd July, 2009
Declassified US security records have shown that former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein told US federal agents, after his capture in 2004, that he wanted the world to believe he had weapons of mass destruction so he would not appear weak to Iran.
The FBI conducted 25 interviews with Saddam Hussein after he was incarcerated.
The National Security Archive, has released the interviews, in which the former Iraqi president warns of Iran's "fanatic" leaders.
He also denounced Osama bin Laden as "a zealot" and said he had no interactions with al-Qaeda.
He freely admitted to his interrogators that he should have permitted the United Nations into the country to witness the destruction of Iraq's weapons stockpile in 1991.
Saddam was hanged in December of 2006. Email this story to a friend

In case you don't know Iran and Iraq had a little war.

That’s not propaganda it was a fact!
Iran-Iraq War, armed conflict that began when Iraq invaded Iran in September 1980 and ended in August 1988 after both sides accepted a cease-fire sponsored by the United Nations (UN). The war was one of the longest and most destructive of the 20th century, with likely more than one million casualties. Despite the conflict’s length and cost, neither Iran nor Iraq made significant territorial or political gains, and the fundamental issues dividing the countries remained unresolved at the end of the war

You ran and hid like a snotty little spoiled baby when I slapped you with irrefutable facts.
Poor little Girliejihad so many people actually take the time to dress you down.
That must be why you so fear revealing your fetish for soiled ladies undergarments.
Never fear you can lie and name call someone to attempt to distract the weak minded.

Saddam stayed in Baghdad until city fell: FBI
3 Jul 2009, WASHINGTON: Saddam Hussein stayed in Baghdad until just hours before it was clear the city was about to fall after the US-led 2003 invasion, according to newly released FBI interviews with the deposed Iraqi dictator.
]
Summarizing 27 interviews between January and June 2004, newly declassified FBI documents offer an unusual window on Saddam’s view of himself and his legacy at the end of his life. In the closing days of his regime, as US forces swarmed toward Baghdad, Saddam said he stayed in the city up to April 10 or 11, 2003, until it appeared the city would certainly fall. He held a final meeting with senior Iraqi leadership and told them “we will struggle in secret."
“Thereafter, he departed Baghdad and began gradually 'dispersing' his bodyguards, telling them they had completed their duty, so as not to draw attention," the FBI said. Asked about widespread reports he often used “doubles” while in power, Saddam “laughed and stated, 'This is movie magic, not reality.'" Playing cat and mouse with his FBI interviewer, Saddam acknowledged no responsibility for leading his country into a series of disastrous wars that culminated in the US invasion of Iraq.
He refused to answer questions about his regime’s use of chemical weapons against his own people and Iran, telling his interviewer, “I will not be cornered or caught on some technicality. It will not do you any good." He acknowledged some mistakes in his dealings with the United Nations on weapons of mass destruction, but insisted that Iraq complied with UN Security Council resolutions to disarm after the 1991 Gulf War.
