Under Saddam Hussein, the nation of Iraq possessed and used chemical weapons against both their own Kurdish population and Iranian military forces.

Nuclear deterrence doesn't work outside of the Russian - U.S. context; Saddam Hussein showed that.

Planning and preparations for Iraq after Saddam Hussein were wholly inadequate.

I just think everything we do has an unintended consequence. We take out Saddam Hussein in Iraq, and Iraq was the check against Iran.

Kim Jong-un's style is more suggestive of Saddam Hussein or his murderous son, Uday Hussein.

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Saddam Hussein had and used significant weapons of mass destruction on his own people, both the Kurds and the Iranians.
