The problem is that Saddam was way too convincing for his own good. If the megalomaniacal egotistical maniac (aka definition of a current demoncrat senator) had any smarts at all he would not have tried to be so genuine.
Besides, no one has proven that his WMD are not currently hidden in Syria and I, for one, will not believe that they did not exist until this is proven one way or t'other.
I know, leaving all those gassed bodies lying around in various places, like Iran, and Northern Iraq, was a little over the top. Why even the Democrats, French and Germans were convinced he had the WMD's. What could we Conservatives have been thinking when we believed that "liar" Bush though./sarc.
