Thanks! (LOL!) Did you happen to see Nightline last night? I fell asleep and missed it, so I was looking for info on the Saddam tapes this morning.
LOL! NOPE! I was a sleepy head too! but then woke up at 3:45 am!!! OY!
I was leary of this show,...because I don't like Brian Ross...and they really didn't spend much time on this story...
Aside from what you posted...there were a few things that made it seem like Saddam either thought he had WMDs and didn't, or that Saddam was trying to fool others into thinking they still had them...
and then Ross ended the segment by saying that "both sides of the arguement over whether Iraq had WMDs would find enough in the tapes to make the case for their side"...
IOW...in HIS opinion, the tapes do NOT prove that Iraq had WMDS...even though it sure did sound like it...
... and you probably found this morning what I did ... Nothing!
