Saruman's thoughts here "ring" very true. He (like Sauron) couldn't possibly understand the source of the hope Gandalf still nurtured in his heart.

And also Saruman desired power a bit too much and that warped his thinking from the beginning. Pity the council didn’t suspect him sooner of treachery .

Saruman comes over as detatched, arrogant and unpleasant. Perfect!

It's Saruman who is blinded by false hope, and what a hollow hope it is, too.

He is blinded! He cannot outwit Sauron or Gandalf.
