The Rest Is Classified
158. The Road to Iraq:  George Bush's Unstoppable War (Ep 6)

And this one is a corker because this one, he gathers his top aides and he says, guys, there is no WMD.

The Rest Is Classified
158. The Road to Iraq:  George Bush's Unstoppable War (Ep 6)

Yeah.

The Rest Is Classified
158. The Road to Iraq:  George Bush's Unstoppable War (Ep 6)

And it sounds like some of his generals are actually stunned by this because they'd always thought, well, he's, you know, I don't know about the WMD, but someone else, you know, he's definitely got some hidden somewhere.

The Rest Is Classified
158. The Road to Iraq:  George Bush's Unstoppable War (Ep 6)

And so it's this kind of weird thing where he's now telling his generals like, yeah, we got nothing.

The Rest Is Classified
158. The Road to Iraq:  George Bush's Unstoppable War (Ep 6)

And he says, you know, if anyone's got anything, any little bits of leftover stuff, destroy it, give it up.

The Rest Is Classified
158. The Road to Iraq:  George Bush's Unstoppable War (Ep 6)

We don't want them to find something themselves.

The Rest Is Classified
158. The Road to Iraq:  George Bush's Unstoppable War (Ep 6)

Yeah.

The Rest Is Classified
158. The Road to Iraq:  George Bush's Unstoppable War (Ep 6)

And he says, like, right, we've got to declare everything.

158. The Road to Iraq:  George Bush's Unstoppable War (Ep 6)

And so they're going to do this declaration, which is going to come in December, which is part of the UN resolution.

The Rest Is Classified
158. The Road to Iraq:  George Bush's Unstoppable War (Ep 6)

Jafar, this nuclear scientist who I met, is one of the people working on this declaration.

The Rest Is Classified
158. The Road to Iraq:  George Bush's Unstoppable War (Ep 6)

And he is trying to own up to everything.

The Rest Is Classified
158. The Road to Iraq:  George Bush's Unstoppable War (Ep 6)

And they're going to send it to the UN.

The Rest Is Classified
158. The Road to Iraq:  George Bush's Unstoppable War (Ep 6)

And of course, London and Washington go, well, there's nothing new in this.

The Rest Is Classified
158. The Road to Iraq:  George Bush's Unstoppable War (Ep 6)

They're not admitting to anything.

The Rest Is Classified
158. The Road to Iraq:  George Bush's Unstoppable War (Ep 6)

Yeah, they're not admitting to anything.

The Rest Is Classified
158. The Road to Iraq:  George Bush's Unstoppable War (Ep 6)

It's so funny because Jafar is kind of tearing his hair out because he's like, we keep trying to tell people.

The Rest Is Classified
158. The Road to Iraq:  George Bush's Unstoppable War (Ep 6)

He's actually been to New York, Jafar, in April 2002 to meet-

Hans Blix, Mohamed El Baradai.

The Rest Is Classified
158. The Road to Iraq:  George Bush's Unstoppable War (Ep 6)

And he has to be calmed down by the other aides because he's so angry that they won't believe him when he's saying we've got nothing.

The Rest Is Classified
158. The Road to Iraq:  George Bush's Unstoppable War (Ep 6)

Although I also think part of the reason Jafar is so angry is that he's getting pitched at every stage along the way.
