This is crap, but the fact is, we helped put Saddam's Baathaist into power to remove the communists who had over thrown the king. That is a fact. We also removed the two predicessors in the Baathast Regime

Absolute completely wrong. A total 100% factually incorrect statement. You are completey WRONG. What you are thinking of is the CIA aiding the Shah of IRAN in 1953 to launch a counter coup against a KGB sponsered "peoples revolution" in IRAN. The US Govt had NOTHING to do with Saddam's rise to power. The Baathists were SOVIET CLIENTS. You are completely and totally ignorant of even the most BASIC facts of Iraq's history. Please do NOT arrogant repeat such utter falsehoods.

The CIA aided both the Shah in Iran and the Baathists in Iraq to remove the communists who over threw the king. Why would the Soviets remove the Communist party of Iraq to replace them with milder Socialists? That makes ZERO sense.
