"Why don't you educate us on just how Bush Sr. financed Saddam. I won't hold my breath that you can back up that particular lie."

Geesh!

Bush Sr. set up Saddam Insane in Iraq. At that time he appeared reasonable. He wasn't. He had another agenda which we now live with today.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? This is ancient history.

Bush did not set up Saddam in Iraq. LOL

What a liar you are.

Bush Sr. set up Saddam Insane in Iraq. At that time he appeared reasonable. He wasn't. He had another agenda which we now live with today.

Saddam took over in Iraq in 1979. In 1963, with the Baath party in control in Baghdad, Saddam Hussein returned home and began jostling for a position of influence. During this period he married his cousin Sajida. They later had two sons and three daughters.

But within months, the Baath party had been overthrown and he was jailed, remaining there until the party returned to power in a coup in July 1968. Showing ruthless determination that was to become a hallmark of his leadership, Saddam Hussein gained a position on the ruling Revolutionary Command Council.

For years he was the power behind the ailing figure of the president, Ahmed Hassan Bakr. In 1979, he achieved his ambition of becoming head of state. The new president started as he intended to go on - putting to death dozens of his rivals.

What did Bush have to do with placing Saddam in power?

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?

Well let's see...

LA for a couple of years, then Texas than VA. Now about Bush Sr. financing Saddam, please explain the mechanisms to those of us out here who obviously don't share your particular brilliant insights. In what way did bombing the man's army back to the stone age and putting 2/3 of his airspace under interdict set the guy up for life?

I had no idea Jay Bennish was your history teacher.

What idiot source did you get that LIE from. Saddam was in power LONG before Bush even sniffed the White HOuse. But apparently any LIE you can come up with is ok some fool might believe it.

Blaahahaha! "Ancient history" presented by MoveOn.org.

We didn't setup Saddam, we encourged him to fight the Iranians that's it.

Ancient revisionist history?

Hussein took power in 1963!
