We now are hearing it out of the horses mouth. We are hearing it direct from the source instead of intelligence.
Saying "That Sadaam said in 1995 that there might be terrorist attacks agains the US?" is intentionally downplaying.
Saddam didn't say they
might happen. He said

"Terrorism is coming. I told the Americans a long time before Aug. 2 and told the British as well … that in the future there will be terrorism with weapons of mass destruction." Saddam goes on to say such attacks would be difficult to stop. "In the future, what would prevent a booby-trapped car causing a nuclear explosion in Washington or a germ or a chemical one?"

Doesn't it seem suspicious that he is
so confident that these attacks would happen? He's not saying they might happen. He's saying he knows they will happen.
And then to hear about Syria. Doesn't something seem incongruous or suspicious to you? I think there's no question that Saddam had WMD. Simple logic here means that he either buried them in the sand (seems unlikely), used them on his own people (we know he did this, but again, extremely unlikely he used all of them!!) or he peddled them off elsewhere (like Syria). I think that there's no question that at one point he DID have them.
So, while more information hasn't come to light, it looks like Syria got them (and who knows where Syria may have then peddled them off to). While all of this going on, Saddam is saying he KNOWS that terrorism will be coming to the USA. And he's specifically saying not from Iraq (to cover his butt while passing them across the border).
It is extremely fishy of him.
