Saddam Hussein is responsible for current state of Iraq.

If he had cooperated with UN, he would still have a country, no Iraq war, no Isis.

BTW
IF The CIA hadn't helped him into power and propped him up (and sold him chemical weapons) he wouldn't have been the leader of Iraq at all.

US Intelligence Helps Saddam's Party Seize Power in 1963

</center>Saddam Key in Early CIA Plot (April 10, 2003)
According to former US intelligence officials and diplomats, the CIA's relationship with Saddam Hussein dates back to 1959, when he was part of a CIA-authorized six-man squad that attempted to assassinate Iraqi Prime Minister Abd al-Karim Qasim. (United Press International)

A Tyrant Forty Years in the Making (March 14, 2003)[/h]Roger Morris writes of the "regime change" carried out by the CIA in Iraq forty years ago. Among the CIA's actions were attempted political assassinations and the handing over of a list of suspected communists and leftists that led to the deaths of thousands of Iraqis at the hands of Saddam Hussein's Ba'ath Party. (New York Times)

CIA Lists Provide Basis for Iraqi Bloodbath[/h]In this excerpt from his classic study of Iraqi politics, Hanna Batatu discusses how the Ba`ath Party seized power for the first time in a military coup in February 1963. He speaks of lists, provided by US intelligence, that enabled the party to hunt down its enemies, particularly the Communists, in a terrible bloodletting.

US and British Support for Saddam in the 1970s and 1980s

Officers Say US Aided Iraq in War Despite Use of Gas (August 18, 2002)[/h]According to senior military officials, a covert program carried out during the Reagan Administration provided Iraq with critical battle planning assistance at a time when US intelligence agencies knew that Iraqi commanders would employ chemical weapons against Iran. (New York Times)

The Riegle Report (1994)
This report by the Senate Banking Committee analyzes the US's exports of warfare-related goods to Iraq and their possible impact on the health consequences of the Gulf War. The report concludes that the US provided Iraq "with 'dual-use' licensed materials which assisted in the development of Iraqi chemical, biological and missile-system programs." (Gulflink)

School time. Rev. The military back in the 90s under Bush I predicted the EXACT power vacuum we have today if Saddam was taken out. It's why we didn't.

Point number 2: We were already in Afghanistan and Saddam was contained. You don't start a second front unless absolutely necessary. Iraq was not. Saddam was contained. Focus on your current fight.

Point #3: Saddam was a POS from the second his eyelids fluttered. And I've SEEN WITH MY EYES the human rights violations and I don't need a lecture from a desk jockey. If you ever wanted to see Marines with tears in their eyes. maybe you should have been in Kuwait instead of polishing that chair with your ass telling everyone else how all they're supposed to think and do things.

I play to win. Period. Game of checkers or Gulf War and everything in between. I support winning, not arm-chair quarterbacking by fools with no clue. You want to blame GWB? How about how Billybob Clinton abused us? I think he racked up to camels and a tent on his score list. Involved ys in a war in Europe that didn't have jackass sh*t to do with us.

Don't YOU come on here telling US WTF happened. We were there. Where were you?

He never attacked the U.S. or Israel that's for sure.
the only countries that he attacked was Iran and we supported him in that.
And O yeah Kuwiat. which we defeated him over and he surrendered within weeks and retreated and the u.S. army went in and destroyed most... if not all... of the viable Chem weapons we sold him.


big threat? not even close.
Are Iraq and the region better off now that we went in a overthrew him, killed and displaced over a million Iraqis and filled the country with DU because we had to teach Saddam a lesson?

nope.

Rev. How sad you are. How very, very sad it is to read that crap again. Poor you.
Go contact your buddy Obama, and see if he has a spot for you with his ACORN propaganda, and Treasonous liars club.

AT would you mind refuting with some facts one "lie" in any part of my comment that you quoted?
I'll edit my comment accordingly if you'll provide me with some reliable information.

Point of clarification.

Saddam certainly did attack Israel.

BoogyMan. I second that with Another point of clarification, if you don't mind.

Saddam attacked Saudi Arabia as well, while also attacking Israel.
I know, because I was in a hospital bed, at Fleet Hospital Five, (A HUGE TENT CITY)in the Desert, when we heard those terrible air-raid sirens, and had to put our Gas mask's on..just in case.
I know the sound of a SADDAM "SCUD" screaming overhead, then the boom from the Patriot Missile that took it down.
Anybody who insists Saddam was innocent, and didn't deserve his fate...probably misses OBAMA, and HILLARY too!
