Who will ever know the total truth about "contracts" - the only elements that are known is that there was a deal to kill govt ministers in Iran - exactly the reason Saddam was selected, because of his thug capability. In return - Saddam obviously gets some benefit and support........ and life rolls on.... |
the US and Britain propped up the first monarchy there early in the century... Saddam came long after. he wasn't president until 79. its easy to claim everything is a conspiracy, but i don't think its easy to defend a statement like "the US put him in power"... particularly when you look at his history, the coup attempts, he role in security there for the Bathe party etc etc etc... it all led up to him becoming president. he was already more powerful and had more influence than the president he worked for before he became president. his actions were clearly his own. whether or not others agreed to embrace him should he become president is a different question entirely... that i dont doubt at all.
