Does anyone else find this strange?

Newsbusters bring us this:

You remember Gen. Anthony Zinni? He served under Clinton and stated that he never saw any proof that Saddam possessed weapons of mass destruction. (which was proven not to be true by this "February 29, 2000 briefing by Zinni to Congress wherein the general made it quite clear that “Iraq remains the most significant near-term threat to U.S. interests in the Arabian Gulf region” stating quite unequivocally that Iraq either possessed or was pursuing WMD.")

Well, here we read that Zinni "actually briefed senior Clinton administration officials concerning a massive military strategy to overthrow Saddam. As reported by the Chicago Tribune on October 2, 2000: “Zinni has briefed senior administration officials on a secret war plan that details how the U.S. military, with limited allied help, would seek to topple Hussein. The effort would be massive, involving possibly as many as half a million troops, according to one knowledgeable official.”

Very interesting.
