Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[SoxFan]

While I agree that Saddam is a madman and the world would be a better place if he were not in it, when did he become a madman? Was it in 1979 when we had video that he shot representatives in the head if he thought in the future they might betray him? Was it when he supported us by going to war with our enemy Iran in the early 80's? Was it when he gassed the kurds and Iranian soldiers with WMD that we supplied him? Was it when Bush41 signed NSD26(National Security Document) in 1989 that stated the Iraq and Saddam were worthy of being treated as normal trading and political partners?

Since the Gulf War Saddam has been impotent and not a threat to anyone. When did he become this great bogeyman? Was it when he became our enemy?
