How the US invasion shaped Iraq | Start Here 

Exactly, all the Saddam fans seem to forget that US was very generous :)

In every other video they speak in absolutes but here theyre like "it turned out not to be true" and stuff like that

US also secretely sold weapons to Iran during the war

Because Iran is the US enemy?

There was a time that was true all he wanted was more we stopped most of his military was Russian

We're never rewarded for any of the good we do, like leading the fight against Communism even though we'd be the last domino to fall if domino theory were correct, or saving millions of lives from AIDS through PEPFAR, so why should be be punished for the bad?

Yes the Iraq war was not ok and was wrong and never should of been there but the us is not like Russia where Russia is killing people on purpose

If that's your main takeaway, you clearly didn't pay attention to the entire video.

No mate, only Russia does war crimes, USA gives liberty and democracy. Good guys and nice kills.

And Iraqi government for invading Kuwait in 1990

That's Al-Qaeda.

It's because Laos was part of an operation in the Vietnam War.

unfortunately this changes nothing. These tactics are common in the west, such "after the fact" analysis/reporting is not uncommon, it gives the impression that U$ has freedom of speech, and that govt is being held to account, so called public enquiries are the same. It gives the illusion of a civil society that ordinary people can discuss the issue, but if you look at the outcomes, of all these "analysis", it changes absolutely N0THING , and here we are in 2023 it's the same with ukr, soon Taiwan, Iran, and elsewhere. Meanwhile Bu$h and Bla!r have joined the list of multi trillionaire, and Bla!r even got knighted.

Aye. March 19 marks 15 years since the U.S.-UK invasion of Iraq in 2003, and the American people have no idea of the enormity of the calamity the invasion unleashed. The U.S. military has refused to keep a tally of Iraqi deaths. General Tommy Franks, the man in charge of the initial invasion, bluntly told reporters, “We don’t do body counts.” One survey found that most Americans thought Iraqi deaths were in the tens of thousands. But our calculations, using the best information available, show a catastrophic estimate of 2.4 million Iraqi deaths since the 2003 invasion. Source Davidswanson warlist The millitary is America’s biggest jobs program. The idea isn’t about protecting people, but protecting corporate interests in dominating foreign resources and economies.

​@@parashit2181 same as Ghadaffi

I thought how it went was Iraq had very little oil and resources compared to other petro states and Hussein believed they were intentionally plummeting the cost of oil to ruin Iraq's economy; so, he used that as an excuse to invade Kuwait and take control of their oil fields as well as their coastline. As a result, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Egypt, etc., asked the U.S. for help to depose Hussein as he literally invaded another sovereign nation for oil. Is that not what happened? I'm genuinely asking cos it seems like everyone pins America as a war-hungry oil-hungry nation that just invades for oil, but from what I know, that's literally what Iraq did. Like I'm not trying to start a fight here or anything I just genuinely don't understand what's going on.

If you cared so much about the people killed by the sanctions, why were you railing so hard against the invasion that would stop the sanctions? Iraqis killed under the sanctions (which BTW Cheney called "the most intrusive form of arms control in human history) were silent death.
