Your point? Stalin was our "Buddy" in WW2 also.

tell me again how we invaded, conquered, and occupied the Soviet Union for the purpose of deposing our former buddy, Stalin.
Tell me again how us providing intel to someone fighting an enemy is worse than us supporting for 4 years the Soviet Union, allowing said Soviet Union to conquer and build an Iron Curtain around nearly half of Europe.
are you really suggesting that over the years of his tyrannical reign, the only thing America provided Saddam was intelligence about Iran?
Are you going to pull out the bullshit list of supposed items we sold him? You are aware that his military was supplied by France, Europe and Russia? You are aware that France built him a Nuclear reactor? You are aware that Germany sold him the equipment to mass produce chemical and biological weapons and that Europe provided the base stocks for that production?
Your going to claim that our minor help of Saddam Hussein THAT ENDED as soon as he invaded Kuwait, is worse than our years of total military support of Stalin?
Shall I post pictures of FDR with Stalin?

Hmmm...I guess the iran Iraq war was a hobby nad the invasion of Kuwait was "summer vacation". How could anyone think ill of Saddam with his history of peaceful coexistence?

No, gunny... I blame him for entering Iraq in the first place.

I blame all of us for not being more insistent that they follow the constitution and only fully involve us in war when it is declared. I was pissed back then that we were going to have another undeclared war because they always end up being like this, the whole "War Powers Act" is an end-run around the Constitutional protection of Declaration. If we can't get 2/3 of the Senate to vote to Declare we shouldn't fully involve the US in war. Neither party is talking about this, nobody is going to do anything about it, and we will again sometime do this all again because we fail to learn from our mistakes.
Not so long ago we were promised we would never have another war run by the politicians, yet here we are again in just another such war.
