Donald Trump Praises Saddam Hussein

[dspNY]

So THIS is the Muslim the Donald praises...things that make you go hmmmm

Trump's infatuation with brutal dictators/strongmen is seriously insane

[dspNY]

The following propositions are not mutually exclusive:

1) Saddam Hussein was a horrible tyrant who murdered hundreds of thousands, directly and indirectly, through war, famine, torture, etc.

2) The Iraq war to remove him was a mistake.

also, stemming from point 2, as has been said above, Neither Qaddafi, Mubarak, or Bashir were able to keep their countries from sliding into civil war during the Arab Spring. None of those countries are better off now, regardless of whether or not we invaded or supported a particular side. Sometimes, the US is an outside player, and the best we can do is watch and not get bogged down in a civil war. ISIS happened for many reasons, the US being a very small one of them.

Best explanation that destroys any attempt by Trump cultists to twist themselves into pretzels to defend the guy on this

[dspNY]

Holy hell, when did almost every Blue Avatar on this forum become such fascist.  sh**t, your defending a man how massacred his citizens just because he wanted too.  All of you are sad excuses for human beings and I hope you burn in hell for supporting that modern day Hitler.

Look

Saddam was a bad guy in his own right.

He gassed Kurds, Oppressed Shias, and swindled Billions of his own people's money to enrich himself and his family. Not only that but his disastrous invasion of Kuwait and attempts to kill an American President are despicable as well.

That said his brutality in a way kept the peace in Iraq at the time and Crooked Hillary's endorsement of Bush's invasion created ramifications up until now.

Most of the hardcore ISIS fighters who actually know how to fight were the remnants of Saddam's Revolutionary Guard. So in many ways, ISIS and Saddam's terror are actually the same. Without Saddam the Revolutionary Guard goons were free to let their religious freak flag fly

Trump spent a full 20 minutes at his Cincinnati rally tonight doubling down on his Saddam love
