Poor Saddam, he wanted to play but didn't had the nukes

yeah, he was pretty bad.

...

He was charismatic and the American soldiers that lived in his palace while he was held captive grew a fondness for him, but he did neglect his people. He didn’t have wmds though and we should have left him alone. There are plenty of rulers that are way worse than him. They overthrew him for oil and to destabilize - gain ISIS ground

have you watched the video?

>He didn’t have wmds though
i'm not sure that you can be so sure. they did not allow them to search mosques for wmds. they did find the spray systems for nerve agents that would be put onto fighter jets to spray these gasses. why would they have the spray systems if they did not have the nerve gas? they also did use nerve gas. that is a weapon of mass destruction and has been illegal since the first world war?

He was literally "your guy" until he wanted to stop trading oil in USD

was is a muslim? was he a non white?

The literal definition of lawful evil
TLDR for me

He claimed WMDS himself

He was a piece of shit but he kept his stupid ass country in check

He claimed that he had WMDS himself*

That specific video:
>Saddam hurriedly convened an assembly of party leaders on July 22. During the assembly, which he ordered videotaped, he claimed to have uncovered a fifth column within the party. Abdel-Hussein, broken after days of physical torture and under the threat of his family's execution, confessed to taking a leading role in a Syrian-backed plot against the Iraqi government and gave the names of 68 alleged co-conspirators. These were removed from the room one by one as their names were called and taken into custody. After the list was read, Saddam congratulated those still seated in the room for their past and future loyalty. Those arrested at the meeting were subsequently tried together and found guilty of treason. 22 were sentenced to execution. Those spared were given weapons and directed to execute their comrades.

Other fun Iraqi things:
>Methods of torture used by Saddam's regime included assault with brass knuckles and wooden bludgeons; electric shocks to the genitalia; scorched metal rods being forced into body orifices; the crushing of toes and removal of toenails; burning off limbs; lowering prisoners into vats of acid; poisoning with thallium; raping women in front of their family members; burning with cigarette butts; the crushing of bones; the amputation of ears, limbs, and tongues; and the gouging of eyes.

he was like an employee that was really good for customers but really bad for the rest of the company.

There are 3 reasons why he (((had to))) go
1. he had a stable country in an area (((they))) wanted destablelized
2. he didnt listen to jewish overlords
3. he wanted to start selling his oil in euro instead of dollar, as gadaffi even wanted to introduce a new currency to trade it (pic related on why its "bad")

In the fullness of time, I think it's fair to say that Sadaam should have been left alone. What has resulted is far worse than what he was doing. He didn't have nukes, and that was the only possible trigger for the US to act upon. That's why they lied about it.

This

he just hated the Kurds and got punished for it

No. He knew that the only way to control Muslims was by slaughtering them.

Based Saddam

bullshit. nerve gas is a weapon of mass destruction and he had sarin, nerve agents, etc etc. nukes are not the only system of mass destruction don't be stupid.

...

You say this like the United States or any other country with a secret intelligence agency isn't torturing or murdering people

never found them

anyone old enough to remember the Saddam one being passed around?
