Remind me again why Americans were duped into hating him?
Alexander Gray
Wut
Jace Cox
He gassed communists.
Logan Moore
WMDs, picking on poor little Kuwait, terrorism
Michael Taylor
He's dead.
Michael Roberts
He didn't bought any American weapons and didn't used agent orange against the kurds.
Carter Young
He was worse than Assad. Yet Democrats retroactively are against the Iraq war but support war in Syria.
Jaxson Allen
comon man, this is easy shit.
he was beginning to sell his oil in non-dollar currencies, effectively undermining the american hegemony and its petrodollar.
after the invasion of iraq, the oil sale was switched swiftly back to the dollar again.
Blake Thomas
He provided freedom of religion ? He did everything in his power to opress the Shias in his country( who were the majority of the population). And he also lost a war against Iran whos military was totally unorganized (because of the 1979 revolution) and also had an embargo on it while having the support of basically every arab nation and the US.
Levi Parker
This. His people also starved, and lacked medical supplies, for long periods of time due to his corruption with the UN.
Nathaniel Foster
>Assad which one?
Samuel Sanchez
He is worse than both
Logan Hughes
> purged thousands of baath party members and their innocent families > gassed thousands of innocent Kurds and kept them brutally oppressed > attacked Iran at their weakest moment and gassed them as well > attacked kuwait for teh lulz
He's similar to Assad in lots of ways but he's worse, and crazier like Gaddafi. Saddam was worse than both though because he just invaded soverign nations which is not fucking on.
Anthony Robinson
>Remind me again why Americans were duped into hating him? Because (((South Park))) made a movie where he had gay sex with Satan and was really stupid.
Jayden Martin
Hello American IDF. Lots of you faggots station there nowadays.
Logan Hall
> aww sik wun brew
Still think the second invasion was a mistake mind you Tamati.
Juan Stewart
>national socialist More like tribal socialist
Everybody who was not in his clan had their dicks fucked into the dirt. A legitimate psychopathic mass murder and his children were worse.
Aaron Garcia
He gassed the Kurds you ignorant bastard.
Dylan Nelson
Kurds are communists so no tears shed for them
John Richardson
>never threatened or attacked the west. He invaded persia and later kuwait
Dylan Howard
gaddafi and assad were the same just our shitty plan to destablize the middle east
Camden Lopez
But was it worth upending the Middle East over? It was (and is) a volatile region prone to chimping out to begin with. You should be familiar with that.
Adrian Russell
No I never said it was worth it but he was a piece of shit, not worthy of the white mans respect in anyway shape or form.
Luke Morales
I'm in agreement.
Noah Cruz
Lol.
He had no WMD, or even WMD program, hadn't had one for years. Eventually even the US admitted they made it all up.
His attack on "poor little Kuwait" came because they were stealing his oil by drilling "sideways" into his wells. When you are a middle eastern country with few resources, stealing someones oil is like stealing their water or oxygen. Everyone in the oil industry knows this, some of them even worked with Kuwait to get at the Iraqi oil.
When did Saddam support terrorism? The intelligence agencies concluded he had no links with Al-Queda. On the other hand, we know the US supported the Taliban (photo of them in the white house) and funds "arab freedom fighters" i.e. terrorists like ISIS.
Tyler Thomas
The problem with the Western world, is that they blindly, like a sheep, fellow their leaders and believe every single bullshit they spout. Plus, they took the pr media says as a gospel truth. Indeed, they are a bunch of zombies who just waiting and ready to jump whatever the next bandwagon is. Saddam was one of the greatest leaders and truly the definition of an Alpha fucking male. But, Western world do not want a man who stands on his ground and tell them to fuck off every now and then. Rest in best Paradise sweet prince
Robert Cruz
Western world oppress the Muslim world in a every fucking way possible. Invading and destroying Muslim countries one after another. So, from your Nazi perspective sick mind, it's alright Muslims to slaughter all the westerners? No, you fucking pleb. The world doesnt work like that. Go milk Hitler's tiny dick while sucking his dysfuctional single testicle.
Adrian Nguyen
Americans didn't, the Bush family did. I don't know if you payed much attention to all those Iraq war protests, we were all pretty confused about going into Iraq.
Logan Morris
Invaded Iran, toyed with radical Islam later on as he was losing, literally Arab Stalin. Just because removing him caused issues doesn't make him a greatnl guy.
Jace Fisher
he whent after the Assyrians unfortunatly. thats my problem with him
Leo Flores
>Remind me again why Americans were duped into hating him? (((neocons)))
I knew the thing was a giant con job back in 2003.
Nicholas Reyes
>Protect his people's rights >Kills entire villages with chemical weapons.
>never threatened or attacked the west > Routinely threaten to destroy Israel, invaded a country that had 9% of the world's oil reserves, and threatened to close off the Strait of Hormuz.
Robert Reyes
>chemical weapons Kurdistan is full of things, not people >israel They can defend themselves >wahhhh he invaded Kuwait After being pushed into a corner for decades by Kuwaiti royals
Jaxon Flores
He wanted to replace the dollar with the euro which would have ruined he petro dollar, also invaded Kuwait. Also his success was his ruin as well, due to the stability the country was experiencing the national industry was improving rapidly therefore the American companies operating in Iraq were going to lose their shares eventually.
A stable Middle East is bad for oil companies.
Blake Sanchez
We all know that Saddam is an honorary member of the /our guy/ club Head of the chemistry department at least.
Brayden Brooks
Becuase he wanted to start selling Iraqi oil in euros.
