Saddam Hussein was vice president?

Imbalanced. Factual, but bbiased through omission
jdengraver11 July 2021
Warning: Spoilers
For all the bad stuff this guy did, which is true, (he was a maniac that met a fitting end) his rise to power in this documentary is over simplified. I'm not saying the sources are incorrect. I'm saying there were other factors at play. America's contribution to this psychopaths uprising is a glaring omission and a huge reason why they invaded the country twice.

Summarily; Saddam made a deal with the dark powers of the US government that would consolidate his power even further. The deal was struck, but he renegged. Uncle Sam is now pissed and needs to find a way to get their end back BUT without being exposed as a democracy that funds tyranny. Enter the false accusations of WMDs, spurious links to Al Qaeda and subsequent illegal invasion of Iraq, which technically, makes both Bush presidents war criminals.

You're welcome.
