Al Franken: Duelfer Report Said Iraq's WMD "Were Destroyed by President Clinton"

Setting the record straight, here is what The Duelfer Report actually stated:

“UNSCOM and IAEA inspectors departed Iraq just before the bombing and never returned. The Iraqis were satisfied with the outcome. They said, given a choice of sanctions with inspections or sanctions without inspections, they would prefer without." (Vol. 1, p. 11)
Yep, sure looks like ol’ Slick Willy showed them a thing or two.

That is what you would think unless you happened to have read Frontpage Magazine’s interview with UNSCOM inspector (1996-98) Bill Tierney who said, “Operation Desert Fox was a perfect example of the uselessness of strike operations” and that We didn’t break his will, we didn’t destroy his weapons making capability”.

Oops, sorry Al, wrong again!
