There is some truth... bad as he was, Saddam was a check on Iran. Presidents today must win their wars and win the peace within their terms. Though of questionable wisdom the Iraq war was successful... but that success was thrown away by Democrats and Obama. Recall Harry Reid declaring the war lost?
Saddam was a bad guy, but ISIS would not be what it is today—or here within our borders—if he was still around.
He did not tolerate the extremist terrorists.
Should have leveled Saudi Arabia first
