Sean Hannity has proof that Saddam was going to attack the U.S

It's official folks Sean Hannity said there is PROOF that Saddam had them and was going to attack America! His guest is a man he calls a U.N inspector. Here's the deal, the man is NOT a U.N inspector he was  a translator! Sean will have the man on his show tonight
If anyone heard they know how ridiculous  this is. Sean, who claims to bring the most accurate and comprehensive news out there is full of shit. The man he interviewed was all over the place with vague info that did not relate to what Sean is saying yet they both claimed Bush was right. This deals with the recent 12 hour tapes of Saddam. Saddam, said in these tapes that if there were a terror attack he'd be blamed. The man who's name I don't recall  hinted that those envelopes of Anthrax were from Saddam even though nothing in the tapes pointed to that. Sean continued to call him a U.N inspector and the man never bothered to correct him. The man CLEARLY stated that he was sent in as a translator to help the INCOMPETENT U.N inspectors.

Update: As I write this I see the news has picked up on it. The media also refers to John as an inspector.

I can now provide the mans name..

"Mr Tierney said he leaked the tapes because he felt they were "too important" for the US to keep secret. The US State Department had no comment, but Charles Duelfer, head of the US-led search for weapons of mass destruction after the first Gulf War, told ABC News the tapes supported the view that Saddam was intent on rebuilding weapons of mass destruction"

Now pay attention to what Charles Duelfer said..

"Saddam was intent on rebuilding weapons of mass destruction"
.

So is Charles saying Saddam DID NOT have WMD'S?

As for Mr. John Tierney who said he was hired by a "firm" to translate these tapes that the F.B.I had back in 05. The tapes have been around since 02 according to media reports.

So we can expect an "I told you so" FOUR years after they had so-called evidence.

Well, we have an election year and we have Rove and we now have a man who was hired by a "firm" for the F.B.I to translate and HE decided to LEAK the tapes because they were so important? What a farce!

During Sean's propaganda hour Mr. Tierney who was jumping around so fast that it was hard to put anything together said that Saddam is quoted as saying, "Terrorism is coming to the U.S.

According to news reports the quote is that Saddam said

""I told the Americans a long time before August 2 and told the British as well ... that in the future there will be terrorism with weapons of mass destruction.""

I am in no way on the side of Saddam I am on the side of truth and this smells bad and it looks like a new way to try and get thus poll numbers up. It' an election year and we will see a lot of this propaganda. The sad thing is that the media will not look into any of this. They will simply report what they are told.
