TRUMP praises Saddam Hussiens Ruthlessness

[New Resolve]

I find myself agreeing with Trump on something

WASHINGTON: Republican Donald Trump has praised former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein’s ruthlessness, saying he killed terrorists "so good".

Trump was speaking at a rally Tuesday in North Carolina when he turned to the former Iraqi leader.

"Saddam Hussein was a bad guy, right? ... But you know what he did well? He killed terrorists. He did that so good," Trump said.

"They didn’t read ’em the rights, they didn’t talk. They were a terrorist, it was over."

Trump has previously said the world would be "100 percent better" if dictators like Hussein and Libya’s Muammar Qaddafi were still in power.

Prior to the US invasion, Iraq was listed by the State Department as a state sponsor of terrorism.

Democrat Hillary Clinton’s senior policy adviser Jake Sullivan responded in a statement, "Donald Trump’s praise for brutal strongmen seemingly knows no bounds."

Sullivan said such comments "demonstrate how dangerous he would be as Commander-in-Chief and how unworthy he is of the office he seeks".

You guys had a imperfect government but a largely peaceful country and a fairly developed and prosperous one.
Now all we hear is bad news and those IS loonies running around trying to out do each other in brutality.

People on THIS forum did EXACTLY what Trump did: praised Saddam Hussein for his ruthless prosecution of opposition in Iraq, aka 'terrorists'. Trump did not 'praise' Saddam Hussein so much as he pointed out the obvious.

I am not a Trump supporter, but people on PDF should be consistent. You people praised Saddam Hussein to criticize US for what is going on in Iraq now.

Trump addressing exactly which terrorist organization or terrorists killed by Saddam?

It is no secret that in order to remain in power, Saddam Hussein had to be oppressive.

You don't get it.
Saddam killed Kurd and Shia ruthlessly he oppressed Sunnis who were not with him. he represented Iraq Bath party ,
the same group who made the core of ISIS after they lost their power.
it means by praising Saddam, he actually praise ISIS.

here you must put whichever Face-palm image you like most

same as what assad doing, yet you support him bcoz you think he is secular and moderate?

Why so much hypocricy about saddam? Just bcoz he was pain in sectarian Mullah's arse?

And if i am not wrong your Mullah did gang up with great satan against saddam..

I mean in which world do you call and tag oppressed part of a society "terrorist" specifically those who fought and stood against a maniac aka Saddam and meanwhile praise and mark the oppressor's ruthlessness as a good job which needed to be repeated?
Actually he was responsible of genocide against Kurds and Shia and also Sunnis, he used CW against Iranians and also his own folks ... in fact his Bath army's commanders have been the backbone of ISIS terrorist organization since it came into existence in Iraq ...

Iraq was much better back then.. No doubt about that, only men with Iron fist can rule ME..

From the day 1 when conflict started in Syria Iran has clearly stated its position that the only way to address this issue is a political, diplomatic and democratic approach not military .. that's why we called out for political reforms and amendment and negotiation between Syrian parties to solve the problem even we urged Syrian Gov. to disarm its chemical weapons . ..
But someone had dream of removal of Assad for their own interests not sake of Syrian people and to get to that point they started to flood weapons and money into Syria ... many of moderate joined ISIS and AQ ... once the US admitted that from thousands of moderate rebels trained by American only a handful of them remain and didn't joint extremists ...
Syrian Gov. as a sovereign country and base on agreement for military cooperation btw 2 nations asked Iran to come to its aid and we did so as we helped central Gov. in Iraqi and Iraqi Kurdistan ... when ISIS was 10 kms away from Baghdad and was approaching the Kurdistan region the only country who came to their aids with everything from weapons to medicine was Iran .... otherwise the ME map would have been different right now ...
By the way we still eager to solve this conflict through diplomatic solution .. Iran says the only solution to put an end to this madness is holding a free and fair election in Syria which all Syrian parties participate (except terrorist groups) and let Syrian decide about the their own future and everyone respects any probable ourtcome... in this case if they don't favor to see Assad as their president then no problem whoever they elect will be their president ... the point is the future of Syria must be shaped by Syrians not dictated from outside whomever it could be Iranian, Saudis , American or Turks ....

Syrian situation is direct consequences of idiotic policies of some countries , countries that sent their troops to crackdown Bahraini people peaceful protests, those who are bombing Yemeni people 24/7 even in Ramadan , those who were behind military coup in Egypt and toppled its elected president ... those who sheltered Tunasian dictator Bin Ali ... those who established Maddares in Pakistan to spread their ideology .... those who bankrolled Saddam Hossain by billion $ and imposed 8 years war against Iranians ....

I 'get it'. So does Trump and finally millions of Americans, that strongmen, as in brutes, will be the only thing to come out of the ME. We realize that for Central/South America during the Cold War. It is your culture that you can never negotiate among yourselves so you need dictatorships to keep your countries running.

I'm glad somebody else on this forum understands how ISIS just didn't pop out of nowhere.

You are typical american where you talk about something you don't know.

ISIS are the Baath but in Afghan dress why?

Baath suppose to be a secular party ok with secular ideology they want to regain power by all means they can't fight they affraid loose their life they want to terrorize people but they can't they don't want to be in the white house or any house black list so the best way to go is to bring some not baathist people and some jehadists to do all the dirty job they want these jehadist take power for them once that happen they can assassinate these jehadists hence they take control.

That' what's going on sir there is no jehadist move a leg without the baathist approve it.

If you take a look at the top generals of ISIS you would see if not all of them most of them are baathist.

Trump, talk whatever because he really don't know what's going on during Saddam's there where no jehadist due to the iron fist he apply to keep power on the other hands shiite wont use these approach to gain power they simply are not terrorist and they don't believe in terrorizing people.

Sunnis in general where happy with him.

Kurds the only one used violence but also where directed towards security forces and the army.

So Saddam actually where oppressing Shiite and Kurds just to keep them in check.

Now once Iraq become a democratic state baathist backed by sunni states in the gulf where unhappy so they waged their filthy war against shiite because these gulf state don't want no democracy next door.

You are wrong ,my mullah didn't gang up with great Satan against Saddam , it was turkey , Jordan and GCC who did the ganging part.
And by the way if protesters in Syria were so innocent at the beginning then how come even when the casualties were 500 the number of security force killed were equal to the number of protester killed.
And why even before these killing the protester didn't accept participating in election that Asad was also a participant ?

I 'get it'. So does Trump and finally millions of Americans, that strongmen, as in brutes, will be the only thing to come out of the ME. We realize that for Central/South America during the Cold War.

The point is ISIS = Bath party ,by praising Saddam you praise Isis.
Saddam didn't kill terrorist member at the time the one who today resort to terrorism were the rulers .

 

[Archie]

some countries can only be run by dictators

case in point Iraq and Libya
both were better off under Saddam and Gaddafi

u need to choose the lesser of the two evils

can u ever imagine the Shitstorm which will happen if another middle East dictatorship falls down like for instance if their is an uprising against the House of Saud or the Emir of Abu Dhabi

This can't a president his education not any better than any regular american let alone an educated one.

but is he wrong?

Trump has previously said the world would be "100 percent better" if dictators like Hussein and Libya’s Muammar Qaddafi were still in power.

Bush should have listened to Chirac
