Well, the MSNBC piece ignores the details of the coup that brought Saddam to power, which is the reason why I include the link to a few factoids concerning the CIA engineered middle eastern coups.

Perhaps you should read my sources before you criticise.

You might have also missed how the first article was titled 'How the US Helped Create Saddam Hussein'.

If it makes you feel better perhaps you could look at it as if the CIA first holding a 'recall election' for Kassim and then 'voting' for Saddam to fill his spot.
