I wished they would have posted the link to their sources so I could go directly there and read it for myself.

I spent a long time copying what was said on the first tape's translations a month ago and it looked like to me old Saddam and his guys was laughing at the U.N. inspectors. At least the way I read it.

Unidentified Male: Lastly, I conclude that this technical report, I mean from the special Commission formed by Security Council to ensure the execution of Resolution 687, was written to serve a political goal.

We, as technicians, technicians we believe that we have arrived at a stage where all the technical miles I believe this applies to all the four areas.

The four technical and legal points, for nuclear, missile, chemical and biological, there are still obligations to 867.

I wanted to show these to your Excellency, because the presence, although I don't know anything about the topic of presence [laughs], I mean, this means it treats these subjects. We swore that this was all true, and it would be beneficial for your Excellency, despite approving it, that you have the correct assessment of this report. And we -

Saddam Hussein: The teams that are now searching for them are not doing so to verify the facts as they are. They are doing so to create cover through any means possible, technically, I mean, even though umawiyat, but they write it up technically.

The umawiyat are many, but they write it technically, politically, on how to be dignified ... this is correct ... I mean they are now more angry at us than before the hostility.

Before the hostility, they had information and deductions that we were working in the direction we described a dangerous direction. Now, we can confirm for them this is false direction. I mean, according to the explanation.

That is, there was a group of these guys and those guys, but this all ended, and with that, the thing they will confirm is our cover story. Good, this is the way it goes .. They are present. There isn't anybody that is going to give away a card .. well .. this is - [indistinct] attempt in any se'a.

Unidentified Male: This last point, sir, truly is a very important subject for them. This is not a deduction, they say there is intent. They say we are wink at the important things. I believe I told your Excellency this once. We must study how we can package this cover story so that we can have a program that won't cause anxiety in the future, and not work in a program that causes anxiety again.

Saddam Hussein: Let them wadfu us.

Unidentified Male: Let them wadfu us. [laughs] really, I mean, this issue, there is no end to it, definitely

Saddam Hussein: They would refuse, but they would not be able to pay [indistinct] the return is very high ... not standard [laughs] ...

The page I made with what I copied can be found at http://www.glxy-sys.com/~randy/SaddamsTapes.htm

and they were copied from http://www.intelligencesummit.org/

What came from those tapes wasn't what MSN had so I was wondering what was the tapes they were talking about?

It looked to me that Saddam was more concerned with how much he could pull over the inspectors.
