Great_Satan:
The CIA had nothing to do with it.  Your pathetic lies don't hide the fact that you are the one who's to blame for Saddam Hussein's regime.

The CIA put the Baath party into power in the 60s. Do you understand?

And the US openly supported Iraq during the 80s in its war against Iran, while Saddam was using chemical weapons on Iranians and on his own people. Your suggesting that the US is innocent of supporting Saddam is a joke.

Great_Satan:
The CIA didn't put the Baath party into power.  Syria did.  Iraq made their own chemical weapons, too.

Even if you somehow don't believe the CIA had a hand in the coup, it's at the very least undoubtable that Washington was happy about the Baath party coming to power, replacing a pro-soviet regime with a (brutal but) US-friendly one. The US has a long history of either assisting or appeasing fascist regimes, as long as it's in American corporate interests. For conservatives (or anyone else) to suggest that the US' (or any other country's) stance on Iraq is motivated by a sense of moral responsibility is naive beyond belief.
