the truth about saddam is: hes actually not that different from normal people. yes he should have been executed for his crimes, but no hes not an insane, deranged lunatic like say idi amin. i can quite clearly see a number of other world leaders committing his crimes if put in his shoes.
lets not forget that it was the uk, france and the us that supported him during the invasion of iran but condemned him for the invasion of kuwait.
You can't be too crass with Hussein; he invaded Kuwait for his interest. Now, how many countries has the USA forloyed for their interests? "Cheap bananas."
this is not the real saddam!.. this is one of his doubles
1. the voice is soft and smooth which is opposite of real saddam
2. more importantly is the height!! this is the only double that is short and he always do interviews sitting down, just take a good look when they show him from far.. you can tell that he is shorter than everyone there, and the real saddam's height is 6.3.
@77heja77 Well Saddam's personality is very complex . You should see him in that video when he mercilessly calls out the names of the Ba'athists who conspired against him, while they are being taken one after the other to their execution and then compare him with this video in which he looks serene , resigned and even fatherly. Well he was a ruthless dictator but he had some great attributes unlike the clown of Lybia.
it's intresting to see what he says back 10 years ago come true today. Just look at the hostility towards Iran, the Arab Spring, and the growth of China and Europe. Very intersting.
An evil dictator maybe, but for how many countries around the world can we say that for, and if we had to wage war on all of them, we would be in a state of constant war. In this interview saddam speaks the truth. The bush administration should be held accountable for the illegal actions it took in the name of peace.
i used to have a bull dog....who looked like him!this guy was a son of a bitch no doubt,but americans have done a worse job in iraq then saddam! they have completely destroyed iraq....it would be a miracle if iraq rises to become a nation in future after the destruction of this mass!
This is nonsense. Saddam is very charismatic and he just said what people wanted to hear. The brave Iraqi people he is talking about here were the same ones bringing down his statue. They didn't want him. The world is a better place without him. Saddam was a bad person and we have to kill all of these idiots/ dictators who want to treat people as slaves. It's offensive to me as a human being that a crazy is supported like this. We will fight all the way and make sure the Kurdish people have the
@sunil0334 Yes Saddam was a nutter who killed his own people, but America under George Bush totally destroyed that country. How would you like to wake up while carpet bombs dropped over you and your family's heads. His mission was not humanitarian it was just an excuse to take Iraq's oil because the evil Bush administration doesn't value human life or yours for that matter. In fact Politics is a joke nowadays, were fictitious governments care more for their own interests than the peoples.
@paulod27 it wasn't just for oil, it was for Israel. Iraq was the only real opposition israel faced in the mid east. iraq was the only arab nation to truly support the palestinians. and to top it off, both iraq wars, which killed a total of 3 million of israel's enemies, started on the jewish holiday of Purim. look it up.
@paulod27 Lol You can't use "Saddam killed his own people" anymore. What exactly did USA do? I'm pretty sure 500,000 iraqis we're killed as a result of the invasion. I'm pretty sure that no iraqi soldier would shoot down their own countrymen.
@Rollonthefield No it was 104,000 Iraqis and most of were killed by insurgents than Coalition forces. Still Saddam killed more people than the 2003 invasion because Saddam killed 100,000 Kurds within three days with poison gas spreading all around and killed around 200,000 Shiites and Kurds within a month after Desert Storm of 1991 ended.
I could feel the tears welling up and I cried my eyes out towards the end of this. Rest in peace ALL killed in this war of aggression against the ancient land of Mesopotamia. You can't keep the human race, peace or truth down forever. We WILL all be free, it's a question of time, and the guilty WILL pay for their crimes.
Saddam was a puppet used, by america and the west for many years, as soon as he didnt want to be a pushover the west created lies after lies about him, which led to the destruction of his peple and his country
PPL THINK FOR YOURSELF, QUESTION AUTHORITY. SADDAM WAS A GREAT LEADER AND WAS BETRAYED BY BUSH 1. ISRAELI LOYALISTS LIKE THE NEO-CONS: CHENEY, PERLE, FIETH, WOLFOWITZ, ETC., PLANNED TO MAKE ISRAEL THE DOMINANT POWER IN THE REGION AND MAKE BILLIONS ON CONTRACT IN POST-WAR IRAQ . JUST THINK IF U ARE NAIVE? WAS SADDAM EVER A THREAT TO THE US? NOOO! I'M AMERICAN AND I LOVE SADDAM AND KNOW HE IS IN HEAVEN.
Your a dumbass. Great leader? Saddam Hussein killed millions of his own people. Launched chemical weapons at Iran and the Kurds. WE GAVE HIM THOSE WEAPONS, but he used them.
We used him to wage war against Iran which killed hundreds of thousands Iranians and Iraqis. Saddam Hussein didnt deserve what they did to him.. we can agree on that, but to say hes a good human being or a great leader is wishful thinking at best and willful ignorance at worst.
This entire war was created by Bush's insanity and Blair's stupid support of it all. Yes this man's regime was evil but declaring war against invisible enemies was an idiotic thing to do. Who are the terrorists really? American propoganda wants us to believe that all terrorists are Islamic people. Ultimately the real terrorist was Bush himself.
This was war the biggest wast of life,money, ever we killed more innocent civilians than Sadam did given the same time frame trust me I was there and so was my cousin it's fucking bullshit that were fighting with each other over such obvious and undeniable issues open your eyes people racism against Muslims is the weapon of choice they want us to hate them so we blindly support the massacre truth be told our government is the single largest terrorist group on earth
@BakedBean707 i was there also, before the sanctions we lived decent lives, we had everything we needed, then the sanctions came, and then we really started to suffer
Im pretty sure that 9/11 will have a whole chapter in the history books in the following hundred years. But i have to wonder, how many history books will quote/mention this interview?
Tony Benn did not ask any hard questions. Hey Tony, how about ask Saddam, "How many people did you actually kill by sticking them in an industrial shedder?" How about, "Why did you let your eldest son rape every woman in iraq with impunity"? Seriously, to turn your head on such acts of torture is to be complicit with it.
i just thought of something really funny, isn't it always the case when the Arabs get to the Top they start being really honest where as our so called leaders start Lying !
where are the nuclear weapons where are the stock piles of chemical weapons??
oh yes i forgot the nuces are in Israel same with the phospherous! Bang!!
he made a huge mistake he should have never invaded kuwait, he should have scaled down his arms just to keep Iran at bay and kept pumping the oil to the USA via Israel they could have taken their cut directly, but i guess he saw what was happening to the Palestinians and Loyality goes a long way.
Well now the Turks can team up with Syria and Iran , Egypt will cross the fence as they have already left the border gate south open for the Palestinians, if I was in Tel Aviv I would be phoning USA
I'm glad this evil man and his evil sons are dead. They were horrible monsters who tortured and murdered so many people. Of course, I believe George Bush Jr.s real reason for going after Saddam Hussein was for the purpose of trying to outdo his father George Bush Sr. The war with Iraq was not justified. Where are the weapons of mass destruction? Bush and Cheney are responsible for lying to the American citizens and they are responsible for the deaths of many thousands .
Seems a shame iraq is being looted more than ever now that the CIA backed hooks & crooks are in power now! ie shia militia & the mardi army,Looks like uncle sam has ruined iraw more than saddam or uday ever did.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@TheWarningShot No one found any weapons because he used them on the Kurds and the Iranians. Don't tell me this man was not capable of mass destruction. He proved it more than once. How quickly we forget.
He used them on them druing 90's, and they DID deserve it. but the claims were that he still had during 2000+ which was obviously a lie. noone found till now. israel have illegal weapons of mass destruction, but i dont see anyone doing anything. hypocrisy huh?
When he used them on the Iranians he was doing so at the behest of the US government, they gave him satellite photos to help him attack Iran, lets not forget to add some context when talking about Saddam, he used to be a key US puppet .
They gave him weapons...I'm writing my dissertation on it and to be frank...I'm a bit depressed..Saddam was a bloody dictator but what Americans have done is truly disgusting...do not think that who talk of democracy is not willing to kill..Us has hands full of blood.
dude the west allowed him by signing a treaty there was no reason for the west to go back in other than their lust for power and oil, if the west gave a shit about anything other then their own greed then they would have ousted him the first time round, just goes to show how much the west care about the poor and the innocent!!!!!
really great mouslim hero shahid sadam hussien inshaa allah in paradice god is great god is great and victory for islam and palastine is arab free country
Well said god (Christian, Hindu, Musim, Jew) is a complete fiction and any retard who believes any of those ridiculous fairry stories is a complete retard. Looks like you are on the same page.
This interview would have been far less dull if Tony Benn had asked Saddam the questions that Tony Benn himself has insisted must be asked of any person in power: "What power have you got? Where did you get it from? In whose interests do you use it? To whom are you accountable? How do we get rid of you?"
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Saddam's regime had broken all U.N. agreements and had to be removed. The shape that Iraq has been in post-Saddam can only be credited to Saddam and his family. They ran the country into debt, which Saddam wanted to pay for with Kuwaiti blood. Secret police, torture, murder,deportation, forced disappearance, assassinations, chemical weapons and destruction of wetlands were all methods that were used on the Kurds to maintain control. While continuous non-cooperation with weapons inspectors.
Maybe as the late saddam said, peace is very important for all mankind and the people elected to govern in powerful countries must not take advantage and attack small countries under sanction like iraq for personal gains.
please if this was reason to question someones credibilty 1 in 1000 of our politicians would be ousted.....hmmm-well they should- but since u believe the nonsense they feed u over saddam's nonsense i suppose you'd disagree...so i guess wut im sayin is; pot calling the kettle black?
@lolhahah21 no im being serious. his body language is that of an honest and innocent person. Look at george bush's body language when he was on the oprah show, to see what the opposite of honest body language is.
the americans on a weekly basis. Further more the west used Depleted uranium in Iraq during the gulf was, the effects of which are still evident even today in iraq. Of course the actual meaning of the term "economic sanction" is never mentioned in the corporate media (Sky, CNN, Fox news, ABC etc) and all the bombings by american forces were completely ignored and unmentioned in the Western Media.
What appalles me even more is that since the iraq war (and I have been refering to the first gulf war) the americans created so called no fly zones in iraq, under which Iraq was bombed by (continued above)
Saddam probably was not the nicest guy in the world however the fact remains that HE DID NOT HAVE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION. For 10 years after the Iraq war the US and the west put economic sanctions on Iraq as a "peaceful alternative to war". This may sound all peaceful but you have to realise every reason that it was peaceful was a lie. Economic Sanctions basically mean that nothing (including food, medicine, water bottles, clothing, even books on shakespeare") (continued above)
You're right. That's what Bush allegated in the first place to start the war, even though the United Nations inspectors didn't find nothing. Despite that, Bush still proceeded a war. After no weapons were found, the alegation was changed, stating that the U.S. was freeing Irak even though many people of Iraq weren't interested in western democracy. And here were the consequences. The country broke into a civil war, even though the U.S. didn't admit it though. What a mess was made.
The Iraqis were interested in democracy, they were glad saddam was gone and wanted a say in the way their country was run. the US denied it to them when they realised the iraqis would vote for nationalised industry and to keep iraqi oil in iraqi hands. So the US appointed a govt instead, whom they didn't even consult when they decided that all of Iraq's oil would be sold off to foreign (american) oil companies, and that none of the profits would go to Iraqis. Disgusting.
I am glad there are those here not afraid to speak their mind, and I have to concur with you. Yes Saddam was a bad man, but the war waged against him and the peoples of Iraq is a shame to the US/UK we have caused 1.5 million deaths to date, for what? A huge lie spun to the sheeples who allowed our governments to wage this most illegal of wars.
@ziparmux 1.5 million? LOL. Another fucking liberal pulling numbers out of their ass. Where did you get 1.5 million? too bad the true number is in the thousands and not even hundreds of thousands
@lowenklee yes I equivocate by informing you that casualties includes the numbers of injured as well as fatalities which brings this number way down if you are talking about deaths. I am assuming you are getting your information from wikipedia unless you want to cite your source. Read the fine print my friend.
@colinf94404 It depends where you look for info about the numbers I'll admit, even CNN admits to 600,000 , the Guardian UK states 1,000,000, yes the numbers are disputed, regardless they are huge, and very unnecessary and very sad, and all in the name of a VERY illegal war.
@ziparmux Casualties and deaths are not the same thing. Why do you not understand this? Casualties includes injuries and fatalities. When you say 600,000 deaths this is not even accurate.
@colinf94404 First we are talking about numbers of deaths NOT causalities, that figure is even much greater than my initial response., even the American casualties is a huge number, including those mentally affected is way beyond figure previously quoted,.What are you trying to propose here? . I have already stated that Saddam was not a cool guy, but it was not a reason to conduct a shock and awe illegal war against a country of very cool people....
@ziparmux great we have established Saddam is a bad man. What do you think he deserves?A Spanking? OMFG. Wake up, the dude was systematically executing his own people. Only one word comes to mind.......GENOCIDE. The M'Fer was a homicidal maniac. And yes we have the right to protect people who cannot protect themselves. GOD BLESS AMERICA. YOU CAN BEHEAD ME. BUT YOU CANNOT TAKE MY LIBERTY.
@colinf94404 So why hasn't the US of A gone into Zimbabwe after Robert Mugabe, hmmm, perhaps they don't have enough oil, and he's not threatening to trade it in Euros...yes? Saddam had only one WMD, and that was to trade oil in Euros which would have f**ked the US totally, yes he was a bad man, but far from stupid. They had northing to do with 9/11, but to trade oil in Euros would have finished the $, it's frigged anyway, just an earlier demise of your currency.
@ziparmux In 2007, about 23% of U.S. "imported" oil came from the Middle East. This percentage includes the following countries: Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain. Saudi Arabia makes us 17% of that 23%. This is according to the U.S. Department of Economics. Get your fcts straight. Less than 3 % of us imported oil comes from iraq asswipe.
@colinf94404 Well perhaps you should support H.R. 539 as your liberties are going down the pan, a sad situation both for you and all the free peoples of the world.
@LeandroCenturion : are you having a laugh!?!?!?! you get down on all fours below a tyrant, despot facist like Sadamm - he was not elected, commited mass genocide, etc - and tou in 2010 apologise for such a man...
@ey1990e all three remain in English Common Law applicable in England, Wales and much of the USA. Statutes can only apply to the legal fiction Persons, with individual human consent. This doesn't stop the system behaving unlawfully, just look at the Federal Reserve Act in the USA which is so black, I won't go into it. There is hope if we ALL wake up and choose to not consent to the abuse they give us. We can change the world overnight and it will happen quickly. Stay strong, we need good humans.
How in the world can anyone ever think was such a great injustice to this man?? Whether there was WMD or not has nothing to do with the fact this world is a better place without this man and even more the people of Iraq.My brother served in the US forces against Iraq and I will tell you this the people of Iraq are happy and safer without this man then him being in power...He killed millions and his son raped innocent woman..Look up how Quday beat and raped a pregnant woman..
the ideologie to take the oil from the middle east to control ussr and china and also the world was born 100years before by the bolshevik zionists! thats why they fought the ottoman empire, made the shoa/holocaust, the to create israel and so on and on!
The toronto star (newspaper) published an article about 3 winters ago mentioning facts that were not known by the world until that time. There is an ancient border dispute between iraq & kuwait. sadams rep asked kuwait to stop pumping oil in that area til the dispute is settled. Kuwait's leaders replied that they will not stop until every women in Iraq is a $10 prostitute. (I kid you not my friend.)
do you know who wrote the article? I'm interning in Toronto in New Media I'm just interested to know where I could find that article now? It wouldnt still be on the stars' website would it?
he mentions a conspiracy of the us governement at that time....you cant be clearer!
hey arafat i looked eagle eye the movie...it really has some nwo stuff inside especially the one eyed king (made of nanobots) and rfid/bioscans...all what will be come!
"if you want to control the wordl (NWO) you have to control the oil" its an cold war phrase from brezinskie and other neocons of the bush administration. nwo is a zionist and elite consortium!
We love freedom thats why we are against the occupation and the injust/illegal invasion. Even Palestine has free elections, so tell me what freedom there is in Iraq today? Thanks to the americans Iraq is now a extremist religious country whereas under Saddam these forces were contained. Women, even christians ones, are forced to dress like ghosts. Lovely freedom!
thanks for posting this fascinating set of interviews. keep up the good work, and as Saddam said, there may be different opinions, but only one truth.
We must insist the new Justice Department to purge us from criminal deeds of the past by relentlessly pursuing justice, and retribution for ALL who have died FOR NOTHING. This includes over a million Iraquis, and over 4000 American citizens lied into joining the military. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Gonzales, Rice, Powell, Tenet, Yoo, and yes-men Generals are GUILTY of war crimes and treason. Will justice ever be done?
the truth about saddam is: hes actually not that different from normal people. yes he should have been executed for his crimes, but no hes not an insane, deranged lunatic like say idi amin. i can quite clearly see a number of other world leaders committing his crimes if put in his shoes.
lets not forget that it was the uk, france and the us that supported him during the invasion of iran but condemned him for the invasion of kuwait.

@TheWarningShot No one found any weapons because he used them on the Kurds and the Iranians. Don't tell me this man was not capable of mass destruction. He proved it more than once. How quickly we forget.

@crimsondynamo752
He used them on them druing 90's, and they DID deserve it. but the claims were that he still had during 2000+ which was obviously a lie. noone found till now. israel have illegal weapons of mass destruction, but i dont see anyone doing anything. hypocrisy huh?
TheWarningShot 2 years ago 2
When he used them on the Iranians he was doing so at the behest of the US government, they gave him satellite photos to help him attack Iran, lets not forget to add some context when talking about Saddam, he used to be a key US puppet .

They gave him weapons...I'm writing my dissertation on it and to be frank...I'm a bit depressed..Saddam was a bloody dictator but what Americans have done is truly disgusting...do not think that who talk of democracy is not willing to kill..Us has hands full of blood.

This interview would have been far less dull if Tony Benn had asked Saddam the questions that Tony Benn himself has insisted must be asked of any person in power: "What power have you got? Where did you get it from? In whose interests do you use it? To whom are you accountable? How do we get rid of you?"

Saddam's regime had broken all U.N. agreements and had to be removed. The shape that Iraq has been in post-Saddam can only be credited to Saddam and his family. They ran the country into debt, which Saddam wanted to pay for with Kuwaiti blood. Secret police, torture, murder,deportation, forced disappearance, assassinations, chemical weapons and destruction of wetlands were all methods that were used on the Kurds to maintain control. While continuous non-cooperation with weapons inspectors.

the americans on a weekly basis. Further more the west used Depleted uranium in Iraq during the gulf was, the effects of which are still evident even today in iraq. Of course the actual meaning of the term "economic sanction" is never mentioned in the corporate media (Sky, CNN, Fox news, ABC etc) and all the bombings by american forces were completely ignored and unmentioned in the Western Media.

Saddam probably was not the nicest guy in the world however the fact remains that HE DID NOT HAVE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION. For 10 years after the Iraq war the US and the west put economic sanctions on Iraq as a "peaceful alternative to war". This may sound all peaceful but you have to realise every reason that it was peaceful was a lie. Economic Sanctions basically mean that nothing (including food, medicine, water bottles, clothing, even books on shakespeare") (continued above)
AEF091 2 years ago 4
You're right. That's what Bush allegated in the first place to start the war, even though the United Nations inspectors didn't find nothing. Despite that, Bush still proceeded a war. After no weapons were found, the alegation was changed, stating that the U.S. was freeing Irak even though many people of Iraq weren't interested in western democracy. And here were the consequences. The country broke into a civil war, even though the U.S. didn't admit it though. What a mess was made.
juanbotello1 2 years ago
The Iraqis were interested in democracy, they were glad saddam was gone and wanted a say in the way their country was run. the US denied it to them when they realised the iraqis would vote for nationalised industry and to keep iraqi oil in iraqi hands. So the US appointed a govt instead, whom they didn't even consult when they decided that all of Iraq's oil would be sold off to foreign (american) oil companies, and that none of the profits would go to Iraqis. Disgusting.

I am glad there are those here not afraid to speak their mind, and I have to concur with you. Yes Saddam was a bad man, but the war waged against him and the peoples of Iraq is a shame to the US/UK we have caused 1.5 million deaths to date, for what? A huge lie spun to the sheeples who allowed our governments to wage this most illegal of wars.

100,000 or so deaths as a most conservative estimate remains a lot of people however you try to equivocate.
lowenklee 1 year ago
@lowenklee yes I equivocate by informing you that casualties includes the numbers of injured as well as fatalities which brings this number way down if you are talking about deaths. I am assuming you are getting your information from wikipedia unless you want to cite your source. Read the fine print my friend.
colinf94404 1 year ago
@colinf94404 It depends where you look for info about the numbers I'll admit, even CNN admits to 600,000 , the Guardian UK states 1,000,000, yes the numbers are disputed, regardless they are huge, and very unnecessary and very sad, and all in the name of a VERY illegal war.
ziparmux 1 year ago
@ziparmux Casualties and deaths are not the same thing. Why do you not understand this? Casualties includes injuries and fatalities. When you say 600,000 deaths this is not even accurate.
colinf94404 1 year ago
@colinf94404 First we are talking about numbers of deaths NOT causalities, that figure is even much greater than my initial response., even the American casualties is a huge number, including those mentally affected is way beyond figure previously quoted,.What are you trying to propose here? . I have already stated that Saddam was not a cool guy, but it was not a reason to conduct a shock and awe illegal war against a country of very cool people....

@colinf94404 So why hasn't the US of A gone into Zimbabwe after Robert Mugabe, hmmm, perhaps they don't have enough oil, and he's not threatening to trade it in Euros...yes? Saddam had only one WMD, and that was to trade oil in Euros which would have f**ked the US totally, yes he was a bad man, but far from stupid. They had northing to do with 9/11, but to trade oil in Euros would have finished the $, it's frigged anyway, just an earlier demise of your currency.

@ziparmux In 2007, about 23% of U.S. "imported" oil came from the Middle East. This percentage includes the following countries: Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain. Saudi Arabia makes us 17% of that 23%. This is according to the U.S. Department of Economics. Get your fcts straight. Less than 3 % of us imported oil comes from iraq asswipe.

@ey1990e all three remain in English Common Law applicable in England, Wales and much of the USA. Statutes can only apply to the legal fiction Persons, with individual human consent. This doesn't stop the system behaving unlawfully, just look at the Federal Reserve Act in the USA which is so black, I won't go into it. There is hope if we ALL wake up and choose to not consent to the abuse they give us. We can change the world overnight and it will happen quickly. Stay strong, we need good humans.

The toronto star (newspaper) published an article about 3 winters ago mentioning facts that were not known by the world until that time. There is an ancient border dispute between iraq & kuwait. sadams rep asked kuwait to stop pumping oil in that area til the dispute is settled. Kuwait's leaders replied that they will not stop until every women in Iraq is a $10 prostitute. (I kid you not my friend.)
