Your rhetorical questions are cute but they are also an example of your inability to back up your ‘Saddam Hussein, CIA Assassin’ foolishness. You have a habit of treating innuendo as if it were fact which contributes to your creative story telling.

“Did they hire Saddam to pick up groceries ?”

There’s no evidence that the CIA ever hired Saddam to do anything. But nice try in attempting to pass off your conclusion in the premise of your question. Make sure you try that on people who haven’t studied logic, you’ll have more success that way.

Anyone who wants a fact-based look at CIA activity in Iraq should read the 1995 interview with James Critchfield, unless they prefer the fact-optional universe that you like to inhabit.

Saddam was a very junior member of the Baath Party when the CIA had an informant inside Baath in 1963. The CIA’s role was to watch events in Iraq while keeping an eye on Soviet plans for expanding there. There is zero evidence that Saddam was their source or that he ever worked for the CIA.

When Saddam’s radical faction later gained control of the Baath party it caught the CIA by surprise- not exactly evidence of Saddam being a CIA errand boy- and it cooled American interest in Baath as something constructive for Iraq.

The closest that the US ever came to supporting Saddam Hussein was during the Iran/Iraq war when we wanted to be sure that neither side would win.

Yes, Pelham, yes, that’s the Brian Williams version.

I don’t have much more time for this thread.

The new world order folks (no doubt LOL) - and those that oppose them - agree with me, those who still haven’t given up on neoconism agree with you.

The former opposition will go read new something other than party marketing from the same old tired sources, the latter won’t.

I think the elites of new world order have got to be really amazed that some conservative sheeple still don’t question what the history they’ve been fed, even when it’s widely reported that Afghanistan still - after a decade - produces 90% of the world’s heroin.

It’s like I have a nice grandma, and I refuse to believe that she would ever do anything wrong - even when I see the crystal meth being sold out her back door with my own eyes. Grandma, say it ain’t so !

I mean, these elites really think the sheeple are dumb and deserve to be ruled by the elites - but still, they’re probably always a little surprised at just how effective their mind-control/propaganda has been, even in the past couple decades, when the sheeple have had access to the innermenet and they could easily find some inconsistencies in the illusionary liberal and conservative worlds that “should” cause them to question what they’re mind is being fed.
