Reply #24: Who supplied arms to Saddam in the first place?

[cliss]

(hint: the U.S.). Who supplied Saddam with Sarin nerve gas so he could gas the Kurds and plenty of other Iraqis? Again, the US. Saddam was a CREATION of the US.

We placed him in power because he was a Sunni. This is exactly what the British did in Saudi Arabia (in the early 1900's), when they installed the Royal House of Saud. They put them in there so they would be their puppets.

We put Saddam in power so he could be our "Oil Stooge". At some point, though, he turned against his masters, or he became useless, so we turned him into a villain.

Also, I've read that the Kuwaitis were involved in Slant Drilling, so they were in effect taking Iraqi oil.

This is a real tendency: we install dictators who will be used as our puppets, to work contrary to the peoples' interests. At some point, they betray us, or they become useless, or we just want them out of the way. Then they become "Public Enemy #1".
