“Name a few terror incidents on US soil linked to Saddam.”
Now you are moving the goalposts.
First you proposed that Saddam was a bulwark against jihadis, now you propose a far different standard.
However, Saddam’s Intelligence officers have been implicated in the Oklahoma City bombing (John Doe number two) and in the final coordination meeting for the 9-11 attack in Malaysia. That is just off the top of my head.
Face it, we remained at war with Saddam after the Gulf War (no fly zone in the North etc.) - he naturally sought other avenues to pressure us.
aHA...you have nothing to report on ANY terrorist incidents on US soil sponsored, supported and funded by Saddam. That is EXACTLY why George Bush is easily the dumbest republican president in a century. $6,000,000,000,000 borrowed to fight wars in Iraq and collateral wars, thousands of brave and young American soldiers killed or maimed, all for the purpose of revenge on Saddam. That Iraq war started by GWB was unnecessary and way premature at best. We lost tons of treasure and blood and gained NOTHING except more chaos in middle-east.
I never said Saddam was a nice guy. But facts are there was no ISIS during his reign. And Al Qaeda operated from Afghanistan, NOT Iraq. $25000 prize to anti-Israeli terrorists? That is a piddly small amount, even in Iraq. Name ONE terrorist who committed terror on US soil, whom Saddam sent a $25,000 check. You can’t.
Again, Saddam was trying to survive with hostile neighbors. Iran & Israel were his mortal enemies. Can you blame Saddam for encouraging terrorists operating in those countries?
So yes, George W. Bush was the dumbest and worst republican president in 10 years. But I hold no grudge against Bushbots like you. Because I actually like GWB sa a person. I met him in a line and shook his hand in 2001 in Portland, OR.
