WASHINGTON - After confessing to slaughtering 180,000 Kurds and plotting to build a doomsday nuke, Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein was so upset when his FBI interrogator left for home that he cried like a baby.
FBI Special Agent George Piro whipped out two Cuban Cohibas - Saddam's favorite cigar - and they smoked on the patio behind his cell at Baghdad's airport.
"When we were saying bye, he started to tear up," Piro recalled in the new book "The Terrorist Watch: Inside the Desperate Race to Stop the Next Attack."
The self-effacing G-man was hardly surprised - he had spent nearly a year carefully becoming Saddam's best friend in a successful ploy to extract confessions from the notorious brute.
Piro's inside account of spending up to seven hours a day, every day, for eight months with Saddam is revealed in the new book by journalist Ronald Kessler.
....
Until 9/11, Saddam thought UN sanctions would go away and he could make a nuclear bomb. His prewar weapons of mass destruction deceptions were a ruse to convince Iran - whom he feared - that he had an arsenal.
Wish I had a friend like that!
Why is this even news?
awwww,... he cried like a little baby.... did he wet his diaper too????
Uhhh... I think it is pretty conclusive that he did, in fact, use doubles. IIRC he was spotted in multiple places at once from time to time. Perhaps on some level, Saddam was still "playing" this young agent.
It’s too soon after dinner to read this, it literally makes me sick to my stomach.
Coming up next, on "World's Worst Jobs."
So then let me see if I get it the Democrats led by Barrak Hussein Obama bleive that Saddam should not have been taken out and so they would allow him in power to game the U.N. Oil For Food Program, emboldened by UBL success on 911 and his hatred for Bush’s and building his inevitable Doomsday bomb that would certainly have killed millions of Americans was the right way to go....
Because obviously to them Everything George W. Bush did was wrong.
When a conservative talks of GWB and the folks he brought into government with him squandering opportunities I always wonder what that critic thinks of Dennis Hastert, Lindsey Graham, John McCain, Arlen Specter, John Warner, Ted Stevens, etc., etc. I believe that anyone who attributes all of the Republican Party's many present failings to GWB alone (or even primarily) is simply not a serious observer of the current situation.
I recently smoked a ‘92 Cohiba Robustos that was so good, it nearly brought a tear to my eye. Maybe the cigar was just that good, LOL!
The...Bitch...Is...Dead!!! And that’s the bottom line!
(Pray for the souls of his many victims)
I have a hard time finding in the Republican leadership people who know what they want to do, who know what their program is. They seem content to simply occupy office and try to get along with the Democrats.
I prefer to call it the Oil for Palaces program.
"Of course, the whole point of a Doomsday Machine is lost ...if you keep it a secret."
Very well put... It seems that George W. Bush was dealt a terrible hand from the 2000 election to present but he has played it well. History will wonder how we ever got thru these horrid years at the begining of the 21st century and many will come to thank the conviction of this brave man.
