*long and very interesting

This video has been flagged as being at least 10 minutes in length - declared long by cybrbeast.

but Saddam was a very bad man.

USA can't afford to spend trillions of dollars every time we find a bad man in some other country. Besides, he was our ally for a long time, so how bad was he really?

Fantastic .. long but great. Definetly worth watching.
