Wow, I see Laz has already done a great job answering your post and showing that Saddam lied to Glaspie and didn't "ask..for permission" as you put it. I never white washed Saddam. I said the Iraqi people were victims of Saddam. What you actually said appears below: No the Iraqi people were the innocent victims of our aggression not Saddam. Just as they were the victims of our supporting Saddam and allowing him to become the tyrant in the first place. Message 20178437 Saddam was supported by the US as a hedge against the Soviets, Good Lord. He was a virtual Soviet puppet for decades. The bulk of his arms came from Russia, the Soviet bloc, and China. The only other significant source of arms was France. .. and against the Iranians. He received some US support during the Iraq-Iraq war because we didn't want Iran to win it. But that aid was quite limited.
