"Can you assert with documentation that the CIA was not involved in the long sad history of the Baathists and Saddam in Iraq? Or in all the support of other brutal dictators mentioned in the tracts I posted? If you can, please post your evidence now." As Cos might say (in different words, of course), it is not for Jewel to prove the negative of your assertions, even if doing so were possible. That said, your "look at all the other brutal dictators we supported" article was WAY wrong on at least one of them. The US NEVER supported Pol Pot. That we did is a ludicrous assertion. But again, it is not for me to prove a negative. YOU prove the assertion, which by your statement above, you have adopted as your own.

"now support yours if you can. Can you assert with documentation that the CIA was not involved in the long sad history of the Baathists and Saddam in Iraq? " First: From the beginning of this topic, I expressed my agreement with your claim that Saddam was involved in CIA operations decades ago. I have also reiterated my position on that and this post makes another such event. So your attempt at misdirection here only adds to your dishonor. The implication that this is my "argument" is yet another obvious and waggish lie on your part. "I did not lie. Yes, you did and seem bent on adding to that as you weave your web of deceit. "I have done absolutely nothing wrong, or that I need to apologize for." You continue to dishonor only yourself by these continuous false and hateful assertions that it is the policy of the USA with the support of its citizenry in this modern time to demonize Saddam or that we PUT him in power.
