Iraqi's Saddam Hussein: CIA Asset - Client Dictator





- 1959: After failed attempt upon life 
of Iraqi President General Qassim, 
Saddam flees to Egypt.

- In Cairo, Hussein repeatedly visits the 
US Embassy, and meets with CIA agents 
interested in the downfall of the Qassim 
Government - PBS Frontline

- Upon his return to Iraq, the CIA installs 
Hussein in an apartment on al-Rashid St., 
directly opposite Qassim's office in Iraq's 
Ministry of Defense, to observe his 
movements. - UPI

- 1963: President Qassim is assassinated 
in the first Ba'athist coup. The United States 
is among the first nations to recognize the 
new government, and arms shipments begin 
immediately.

- The next five years bring two more CIA-backed 
Ba'athist coups. Under their regimes, Western 
business interests, such as Mobil, Bechtel and 
British Petroleum begin operations in Iraq.

- 1968: The final Ba'athist coup brings Ahmad 
Hassan Al Bakr to power, who places his cousin, 
Saddam Hussein in charge of the state security 
apparatus. 

- 1979: CIA asset, Saddam Hussein seizes power 
in a palace coup - afterwards, he liquidates all 
political opponents within the Iraqi Ba'ath party.

- 1980: The incoming Reagan administration, 
seeing the Islamic revolution in Iran as a threat, 
encourages the subsequent Iraqi invasion of Iran, 
with promises of arms, money and intelligence.

- In addition to billions of dollars in arms, the 
Reagan Administration provides the Iraqi Regime 
with chemical and biological weapons.

- One year after Iraq uses US-supplied chemical 
weapons against Iranian troops, the Reagan 
Administration resumes normal diplomatic relations 
with Iraq, and removes it from the list of countries 
that support terrorism [picture of Donald Rumsfeld 
greeting Saddam Hussein].

- The Iran/Iraq War stretches on for 8 years, claims 
over a million lives and bankrupts Iraq.

- 1988: After the war ends, Iraq's erstwhile ally, 
Kuwait floods the world oil market, lowering oil 
prices, worldwide.

- This undercuts Iraq's efforts to rebuild its 
war-ravaged economy and infrastructure.

- After Hussein's pleas fall on deaf ears, he begins 
to consider military action against Kuwait.

- When he informs the US about his plans to invade 
Kuwait, US Ambassador, April Glaspie tells him: "We 
(The United States) have no opinion on your border 
dispute with Kuwait. James Baker (then Secretary of 
State) has instructed our spokesmen to EMPHASIZE 
this instruction."

- Given this green light to invade Kuwait, Saddam 
Hussein does so.

- The Bush Administration immediately renegs on 
its assurances, and begins preparations for war.

- Iraqi offers to withdraw from Kuwait, in exchange 
for convening a Middle East peace summit are ignored.

- The rest is history...

- September 11, 2001: Al-qaeda terrorists launch 
a coordinated attack on the World Trade Centers 
and the Pentagon

- Using these attacks as a pretext, the Bush 
Administration launches a second war against 
Hussein's Iraq - Even though there are no links 
between Iraq and the terrorists who executed the 
9/11 attacks.

- In this invasion, hundreds of Americans and 
thousands of Iraqi civilians die.

- December 13, 2003: 40-year veteran CIA-asset, 
Saddam Hussein is handed over to US occupation 
forces by an undisclosed Iraqi group.

- Ladies and Gentlemen, we've always had him.
