      Just because the Bush administration made shit up and the invasion wasn’t justified doesn’t mean Saddam wasn’t a horrible, brutal, murderous psychopath.

          Oh yeah, must have been the US making up lies… oh wait, they initially tried to blame it on Iran. At the time, Iraq was viewed as an ally.

          Just from a quick search, the accusations are echoed by the BBC, Iranian journalists, and the UN. And if you’re about to accuse the BBC of being a mouthpiece of the state, don’t bother. The British government had the same stance as the US.

            bruh you come to me and say that the british are saying the same as the US and the UN, and then you think that gives you more credibility? Like removed did you steal even more koolaid after drinking your fill like the fuck?
