It Sounds So Crazy, It Must Be True

According to Saddam's lawyer, before the tyrant was executed he announced the identities of those behind the plot to exterminate him.

Hours before Saddam Hussein's execution, the ousted Iraqi leader asked his attorneys not to appeal for his life and accused the United States and Iran of collaborating to hang him, according to a copy his will.

Who would have thought that after all this time that the entire "War on Terror" and "Axis of Evil" bit was just a scam to get Saddam?
It seems to me that if Saddam were right, it would have been a whole lot easier for America and Iran to just join forces and get him without all of the other diversionary activity of insurgents and democracy building. But what do I know? Your modern plots and conspiracies frighten and confuse me.
