George Piro is an FBI agent that was assigned to interview captured dictator Saddam Hussein in 2003. For seven months, he sat with Saddam in order to build trust so that he could properly debrief the former Iraqi leader and discern truth from fiction. In a recent 60 Minutes interview, Piro reveals the story behind the invasion as told by Saddam. Regarding the ground invasion, Piro states that Saddam, "told me he initially miscalculated … President Bush’s intentions. He thought the United States would retaliate with the same type of attack as we did in 1998 … a four-day aerial attack." Piro’s next statements will certainly rouse conspiracy theorists when he states how Saddam fully intended to resume his WMD programs and had created the myth that they already existed as a intelligence counter-measure. That counter-measure was not aimed at the West, however, rather it was intended to ward off a feared invasion from Iran.
