What’s interesting about the Iraq invasion is Saddam’s role in it i.e. that he didn’t think it possible that the CIA was unaware that he didn’t have WMD and didn’t comply with inspections because he thought it was a ruse to invade. Steve Coll (author of Ghost Wars) wrote about it recently.
Not to mention how it reverberates to recent years from ISIS to Iranian proxies.
NasserAlazzawi Their narrative is totally different
You get to choose the flavour of your KoolAid.
Saddam should never have tried to de-dollarise petrol. Or Gadaffi. This was their crime
What’s going to happen now the BRICS have given the USA and dollar the biggest fuck you in history remains to be seen.
A good friend of mine’s father was Saddam’s eye surgeon.
Tru fax and yes I will say KLANG.
Smallman1 and what an eye surgeon he was! Might’ve wanted to go to Specsavers himself…
Reminded of this. Terrifying
Lots of Biz Tranz opportunities coming up in Russia right now @Smallman1 Maybe drop an email to Putin c/o The Kremlin to see if he wants to spitball some ideas with you at the next S&D?
Alternatively, have you thought about Biz Tranz’ing for the Iranian regime? Perhaps they could consider an urgent rebrand from their out of touch late 70s Islamic Revolution to a more up to date Powerball prog orientation. Could invite the IRGC down to experience Uncle John’s next bash for themselves. Experiencing the vortex might encourage them to drop all of this Middle East shenanigans.
One for the agenda at your next team meeting, obvs.
Everyone in Sadam’s inner circle were Christians. Those who fed him or washed his dick. All Christians. He felt safer around them. Ironically, Iraqis (and the middle east in general) were better off with him being around.
