"Your statement was an out and out lie. The US had nothing to do with bringing Saddam to power."
I didn't say the US brought Saddam to power, but the US DID SUPPORT him during the Iran - Iraq war. That's a fact, Jack.
That's what happens when you rely on short-sighted foreign policy.
*sigh* Am I going to have to go through this again? No it is not a fact. Saddam was armed and supported in that war by the USSR, france and China. The US gave him some intelligence during the first part of the war but even that stopped when it was found that he was a sleazy nut ball.
