          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.

              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.

        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.
