Hey, I'm better than Ahmadinejad

My name is Duhbya, and my stock in trade is bullshit, but at least I'm not as lunatic as yesterday's news.

Does anyone think he's really serious about this?

This is a fig leaf for the naughty bits of his legacy. He's saying, "See, it was really, really Saddam's despotism and my sympathy for the oppressed Iraqi people that made me rip their country into warring pieces." Never mind that Duhbya made many things worse, a dramatically raised death rate high on the list of bad things.
