Speaking of Clusterfuck

We now live in a world where this guy is more reliable than the President of the United States:

Iraq 'ended nuclear aims in 1991'

The head of Iraq's nuclear programme under Saddam Hussein has said Iraq destroyed its nuclear weapons programme in 1991 and never restarted it.
Jafar Dhia Jafar told the BBC sanctions and inspections worked in stopping the reconstitution of the programme.

He also said Iraq's chemical and biological weapons programmes were destroyed after the first Gulf War and never reactivated.

Mr Jafar ran Iraq's nuclear programme for nearly 25 years.

One of the most powerful arguments in the case for war on Iraq was the US and UK's claim Saddam Hussein was trying to restart his nuclear programme...

However, inspectors claim that it was the evasive behaviour of Mr Jafar himself and his failure to come clean about the programme that led them to believe that Iraq had to be hiding something.

Mr Jafar also says the British government's assertion that Iraq tried to purchase uranium from Niger is false.

He said Iraq already had a supply of uranium purchased there in the 1980s.

"We had 500 tons of yellow cake [uranium] in Baghdad so why would we get more?" he said.

He says he was approached by US intelligence to defect, but was never tempted.

He thought it was important for Iraq to have a nuclear deterrent and tried to achieve this aim for patriotic reasons, he said.

He remained in Iraq, fleeing to Syria just two days before Baghdad fell to coalition forces last year.

Brilliant, just brilliant.
