Saddam's Last Confidant Talks of Iraq WMDs

If Saddam Hussein's last friend and confidant - an FBI Special Agent - is to be believed, then there were no WMDs, at least not of the nuclear variety. George Piro was assigned to befriend and care for Saddam in his final months and thereby gain information from him. According to Piro's account, Saddam admitted to gassing 180,000 Kurds. He also admitted to plotting to build a nuclear weapon, but he never succeeded:

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.

If true, then it would appear the UN sanctions were working and war was unnecessary. Hmm, where have we heard that before?
