Sadaam: America's Prodigee?

Saddam Hussein ( I know i spelled that wrong,lay off) was heavily supported by the United States.He was given weapons,information, privileges, and basically allowed to torture the people of Iraq and Iran as he pleased.My question here is, why is it that now , after all this time, that now he is considered a criminal?

cause it fitted the lie of "fighting terrorism"
My take is still that when the "war" stops the next station will be North Korea 🙄

Any political question that starts with the word "why" - at some point down the line the answer is "money".

The LEAST cynical answer i can give is "political expediency..."

um....because bush decided he made a mistake but instead of telling the majority of the publis this, he decided to wage war on them.

Bush make a mistake? His term has been nothing but mistakes! Though, I might agree with the 'money' situation.But it seemed to me that this all started when Saddam tried to turn his back on America.Before that,all the nations were fine with him.

Everybody makes mistakes, the difference is that Bush made HUGE mistakes

yes, like telling us that we were going into iraq because there were weapons of mass destruction there.From what i can see, the weapon that did the most destruction was us.

We funded many many dictators. Bush, like Yerssot said, wanted something to expand his lie of "fighting terrorism". It's a pointless war. Terrorism is a bad thing, but you can't get rid of it. It's an ideal, you can't just erase an ideal. And all Bush is doing is erasing many innocent citizens of Iraq. Granted, he gotten many more military targets but I wouldn't want a million of my enemys dead for a thousand purely innocent citizens. 😖

nice siggy. Whats more, bombs and nucleuar wepons are being dropped on innocent children there.Have you seen the conditiond=s the people live in?There are not bad conditions some will say, but isnt living in constant fear bad?

True, that is inconsistent and didn't the Clinton administration beat Serbia to death in order to establish an Islamic block?

oh god WHO GIVES A RATS ASS?????

I for one am sick to DEATH of politics. I mean really. All this b*tching does absolutely NOTHING. You are not going to change it, the world SUX and it will continue to SUCK. Accept and it and make your corner of it better and stop complaining already.

well you certainly are the optimistic one. it can change if people speak out for themselves.

the world can can change only when people starts to agree with each other and stop being so f*cking greedy, which, by my calculations would happen, oh i say about... NEVER.

I change it every day.

EVERY day.

it could change for the better if america wasnt such a bully for one thing....

The American support of Saddam is vastly overstated. During the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s which took place right after the Iranian hostage crisis America was looking for revenge. And it saw a tool for that in Saddam. The U.S. didn't even provide weapons...(The Iraqi army never has or never did operate any U.S. weapons. Mainly Russian and French). The U.S. provided training for Iraqi pilots and special ops, as well as fund a failed Iraqi offensive in 1984. Not the "massive" support many bias media stations say.

Yeah Clinton lied about getting head from interns, Bush lied intelligence and started a war that has killed hundreds of US soldiers, thousands of iraqi civillians, dozens of hostiges, and lots of other shit of greater consequence.... Bush is still worse
