Tony Benn's interview with Saddam Hussein 4th February 2003 (Part 1 of 3)

Historic Interview by British Politician Tony Benn with Saddam Hussein. In an attempt to avert the upcomming War Tony Benn asks the questions raised by the UK and the USA. Saddams answers to the questions are VERY intriguing and it is no surpise that this interview was all but buried as the rush to war gathered Momentum.

Tony Benn's attempt to avert the War ultimately failed as was to become clear that the desire for War was inevitable. The day after this interview Colin Powell went to the UN and lied through his teeth but convinced the World of the need for War. Powell now says his speech was a BLOT on his reputation!

Among the questions asked are:

Does Iraq have any weapons of mass destruction?

Do you have links with al-Qaeda?

What are the difficulties with the Weapons inspectors and can they be cleared up?

Can you work with the UN to achieve Peace?

Can Iraqs Oil Reserves be used for the benefit of the Iraqi People and the needs of mankind

What do you have to say about the Peace Movement?

[CunkingFunt]

Put things in perspective here... we have the right to hate on our leaders and goverments and a freely able to do so in these comments. You COULD NOT of done that openly in iraq under saddam. Ill take a lying democratically elected leader over a fucking despot any day of the week.

[CunkingFunt]

All this bullshit being spread in the comments. "Saddam protected minorities" - HannaRamez. Thats a fucking lie.. he dropped chemical gas weapons on the Kurd minority in his own fucking country killed AT LEAST 130000 people.. then he kill countless shia muslims. Forces families to watch other family members be killed in public execution and clap. A disgusting regime. The western leaders might of lied about WMDs but saddam had a reactor and was fully intent on developing one. Clueless people..

@twoguysandavan84 I've seen a video of you motherfuckers pissin on dead, innocent afghan bodies, and I've seen the pictures and videos where US troops throw a grenade at a 15 year old afghan boy who didn't do anything, they cut bodies in many parts, disgusting motherfuckers, so why shouldn't you bitches be doin the same shit in Iraq?

@slabkrk the man had invaded 2 of his neighbours. any leader who sends his people to kill others should be hung. saddam was evil. his sons uday and qusay were evil. their death were deserved.

i agree though, the war was illegal. someone must be held to account.

@SuperOnlineMedia

then you must be the biggest idiot in the world

[twoguysandavan84]

@BelfastAtheist Mu unit was Charlie Company 1140th Engineer Bn. 2nd platoon 2nd squad. For more reference we landed at Kuwait City Airport on February 23rd 2004 @11:47pm then flew into Tallil AFB Iraq on March 2nd 2004 and we left country on February 23 2005 @ 11:43pm and you wont find any " thuggery" tom foolery or any other shenanigans for that matter lol. Again you were not there you do not have a clue what you're talking about in the slightest.

@twoguysandavan84

What was your unit? If I look it up, you're saying I won't find a single credible reference to any Civilian casualties resulting from your Thuggery?

[twoguysandavan84]

@786empowering Did you go to Iraq? How do you know that's what we did there? I was there. There was never any women and children killed intentionally with my unit or any unit in the country for that matter. It's politically gullible people like you that perpetuate global ignorance and ultimately war. Whether it be this side or yours.

[786empowering]

He was telling the truth about WMDs!!

We were lied to & manipulated by our western leaders so they could invade a country kill thousands of innocent people, mainly women & children and what for?

THE OIL, GOLD & MONEY.....

Iraq & it's people are 100x worse off know then they were when Saddam was in power.

Rest in peace Saddam Hussein.
