"He thought that [faking having the weapons] would prevent the Iranians from reinvading Iraq,"

Ummmm what? Iraq invaded Iran, not the other way around. I would think that an FBI agent assigned to interrogate Saddam Hussein would at least have his facts straight. That statement is very odd.

From Encarta http://encarta.msn.com/encyclopedia_761580640/Iran-Iraq_War.html
"Iran-Iraq War, armed conflict that began when Iraq invaded Iran in September 1980 and ended in August 1988 after both sides accepted a cease-fire sponsored by the United Nations (UN)."

So if Saddam was intentionally acting as if he had a fully functioning WMD program, then the pretences under which we went to war with Iraq were accurate. Our intelligence reports weren''t false, they were accurate with respect to the circumstances (i.e. Saddam acting in every way, shape, and form as if he had WMD''s). How does this do anything but exonerate George Bush from the accusations that he orchistrated the Iraq war with lies and deceit? History will show that he was not a terrible President, but a corageous one.

Per his comment below, Saddam was a serious threat and we did the right thing to take him out. Funny how many of those who criticize "W" for getting him criticized his father for not getting Saddam and finishing the job in 1990.
Saddam admits to interrogater before he was hanged: "He also intended and had the wherewithal to restart the weapons program. "Saddam] still had the engineers. The folks that he needed to reconstitute his program are still there," says Piro. "He wanted to pursue all of WMD%u2026to reconstitute his entire WMD program." This included chemical, biological and nuclear weapons, Piro says.
