I miss Saddam Hussein
You mean the guy who gassed his own people?
No, the guy with Weapons of Mass Destruction.
Just because the Bush administration made shit up and the invasion wasn't justified doesn't mean Saddam wasn't a horrible, brutal, murderous psychopath.
You mean the same Saddam that stole baby incubators and let babies die in hospital?
but think who told you that and who made the lies about him, then ask if you can really trust that conclusion at all. Ya'll libs need to think for yourselves my god
Oh yeah, must have been the US making up lies... oh wait, they initially tried to blame it on Iran. At the time, Iraq was viewed as an ally.
Just from a quick search, the accusations are echoed by the BBC, Iranian journalists, and the UN. And if you're about to accuse the BBC of being a mouthpiece of the state, don't bother. The British government had the same stance as the US.
bruh you come to me and say that the british are saying the same as the US and the UN, and then you think that gives you more credibility? Like removed did you steal even more koolaid after drinking your fill like the fuck?
What a substance free waste of bytes.
how many lies do you shove greedily down your throat a day? I'm guessing like 70
@American_Communist22 @yogthos he can't hold a candle to Hitler IMHO
what? Are we talking about the man who was president and kept Iraq together and with some sort of future besides collapse and and american enslavement?
Look, the US fabricated its reasons for being there, but that doesn't make fucking Saddam a good guy, pull your head out of your ass.
Good guy, bad guy, what are we talking about? This is not a Marvel movie. Everything he did to stay in power, whether self serving or not, was ultimately in the interest of the people of Iraq, because we know what the alternative was...
You mean the one that committed semi regular massacres? That Saddam?

@Catradora_Stalinism Who?
The Saddam put in power by the CIA? You miss him?
CIA also did operations against him once he didn't allow use of Iraq's resources. CIA also funded Castro, they do shit just to cause chaos, things backfire on them.
