Surprised ?
I’ll post the link, in an effort to get both conservatives and liberals off their butt and start researching new world order. All it takes is searching the web, in this case for three words: saddam cia assassin

Sheeple need to wake up.
“Surprised ?’
Not at all since that link doesn’t back your claim that Saddam Hussein was an “assassin working for the CIA”.
I’ve learned that you like to claim that sources back your conspiracy theories when they don’t.
That article that you link to tells a story of the CIA backing the Ba’ath Party and a coup in Iraq in 1963.
A previous coup in 1958 (was the CIA asleep?) overthrew the Iraqi monarchy, and Abdel Karim Kassem set himself up as prime minister with Muhammad Najib ar-Ruba’i as first President of Iraq. Abdel Karim Kassem was overthrown by the 1963 coup. Did 26 year old Saddam Hussein take power? No, Iraq was then led by Abdul Salam Arif.
Abdul Salam Arif served as the second President of Iraq until 1966 when he died in a helicopter accident. Well did 29 year old Saddam Hussein then take power? No, Abdul Rahman Arif became Iraq’s third President.
Abdul Rahman Arif served as 3rd President until he was overthrown by yet another coup in 1968 (I guess that first CIA coup just couldn’t keep its NWO puppets in line). So did Saddam finally get his chance? No, Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr became the 4th President of Iraq. Well surely he died quickly so that the CIA could put its assassin-puppet in charge?
No. Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr stayed in charge for 11 years until he resigned from office in 1979, most likely forced out by Saddam Hussein. Saddam has to be the most patient assassin in history since it took him 16 years to get the top job, and even then he forgot to kill his predecessor.
So good try Pieter. Maybe you’ll find a source that actually does back your Saddam Hussein, CIA Assassin, story. But until then it’s just one more in your impressive series of conspiracy stories that don’t stand up under inspection.
