Bill Clinton: Saddam's Aides Mostly 'Good, Decent'


Former president Bill Clinton praised Saddam Hussein's lieutenants and their underlings on Tuesday, saying they were mostly "good" and "decent" people."

"When [the U.S.] kicked out Saddam, they decided to dismantle the whole authority structure," Clinton told an audience at American University in Dubai. "Most of the people who were part of that structure were good, decent people who were making the best out of a very bad situation," he added.

While Clinton didn't name, names, Saddam's authority structure was dominated by his two murderous sons, Uday and Qusay, as well as notorious characters like Ali Hassan al-Majid, [aka Chemical Ali], Barzan al-Takriti, who ran the Iraq's brutal intelligence service, Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, who governed northern Iraq during chemical weapon attacks in the Kurds, and Huda Salih Mahdi Ammash [aka Mrs. Anthrax], who was a member of Saddam's Baathist National Command.

Clinton offered praise for Saddam's lieutenants during the same speech where he criticized the U.S. invasion of Iraq as "a big mistake."

While that comment received wide coverage, only the United Arab Emirates Khaleej Times noted his description of Saddam's underlings as mostly good and decent.

So let's see if i understand this.

Saddams underlings and lieutenants who implimented Saddams policies, tortured and murdered people who disagreed with them and other things like that were good people.

Republicans who lead the charge to oust the dictator are bad people.

Got ya.

Well this sounds good, but it's Newsmax. Somehow I think we'll see a redo on the Iraqi army and US failure to integrate those that could have helped, which they are doing in retrograde. It WAS a big mistake. There is a huge difference between the military and political in any country. See our own for a comparison.
