Quite right, my apologies for the inaccuracy and thanks for the corrections.

 

My attempt was to show there was a great deal going on in the world and specifically concerning the middle east. Things were not so simple as US supporting Saddam for no apparent reason, it was in our best interest to see he didn't lose but also didn't win.

Thanks for reinforcing my point that he was a virtual nobody who came back to haunt us... As opposed to the view that we knew all along he was a psychopath bent on killing Americans but supported him anyway.
