I don't know if this is true, but Saddam was put there by the US/UK ?? And then later when his "useful idiot" role was done, they decided to remove him? Crazy insane stuff this mad mad world of geopolitics. If the CIA wants to put you in power, run for your life !! https://archive.globalpolicy.org/iraq-conflict-the-historical-background-/us-and-british-support-for-huss-regime.html US intelligence helped Saddam's Ba`ath Party seize power for the first time in 1963. Evidence suggests that Saddam was on the CIA payroll as early as 1959, when he participated in a failed assassination attempt against Iraqi strongman Abd al-Karim Qassem. In the 1980s, the US and Britain backed Saddam in the war against Iran, giving Iraq arms, money, satellite intelligence, and even chemical & bio-weapon precursors.
