It would tickle me endless if they start going into the details of how Saddam got hold of the chemical and biological weapons in the first place.
I note, however, that the chemical attacks on Iran are not amongst the accusations....I wonder why....

So this basically means that anything that is remotly interesting or could explain something to us has been edited out so we won't see it ðŸ˜

Are we talking Nazi Germany, Communist Russia or something organised by the "greatest democracy on earth"? God save America.
And, yes, I think Saddam is a murderous scumbag. The other guys are not much different, though.
Originally posted by Freddie2004Probably a long enough of a delay just in case of Saddam having a "wardrobe malfuntion".
