No he didn't. He just sheltered and payed them to kill people outside of Iraq.

I wonder what Trump'll say or do tomorrow, and the next day, and the next, and the next....

It's not that hard.
Other than the state sponsorship of terrorism thing.
I mean, I guess he did mustard gas the fuck out of his citizens to keep them in line.

Factually he is correct, Saddam did in fact kill terrorists.
But he was framing it in a way that he was a good thing, and it is not foreign to Trump to suggest that we should be more violent and aggressive in our militaristic strategies.
So he's wrong, and as always spouting his stupid nonsense.

Not to mention raining down Scuds on Israel during the Gulf War who wasn't involved with the Gulf War and threatened to launch chemical weapons at them if he was deposed.

We done fucked up when we invaded Iraq with our illegal war. And it is true that the region would be far more stable today, and that it would be a safer place to live (for MOST) if Saddam were still in power.
On the other hand, Trump, you fuckwit, Saddam is no fucking role model for either domestic or foreign policy, and nobody to be praised. Christ.

Oh, he was a good ruthless dictator now? Didn't he use mustard gas on his own people when they got uppity?
Maybe Donald need some teaching cause the best "weapon" against terrorism is abolishing religion, social classes and most importantly real free education for all.
What Saddam did there are the consequences which people in middle east are feeling now.
Maybe as he was alive we didn't hear much but it was meant to happen as is always the rule of violence.

Everyone wants a bigger Johnson.
OK, this seems like you're making an argument against drone strikes, but I know you're aware due process for your own citizens is a bit different than foreign actors in a foreign nation.
Problem is he goes a little hard sometimes and that can be embarrassing. Especially in front of the whole world.
He kept a "lid" on some Islamic extremist, but he himself was a sponsor of terrorism against Israel and other targets. Which is why Iraq was designated a state sponsor of terrorism for years.
In Trump's mind, the only terrorist worth killing or mentioning are Muslim extremist, not non-religious ones like Saddam.
"Due process is weak. It's tremendously slow and ineffective and not to mention rigged. Just look at what "due process" is doing for me? I haven't done anything wrong! Listen people. ISLAMIC terrorists are literally cutting off our heads, ok? We got to get tough, it's the only way we're gonna win and we're gonna make America great again, am I right? When I'm president we're gonna be tough, we'll still do due process, but it'll be while we're water boarding those ISLAMIC terrorists, that's my kind of due process when it comes to terrorists."

They weren't involved with 9/11 or Al Qaeda, but that doesn't mean they didn't sponsor terrorism.

He was the crazy. He engaged in chemical warfare, you dope.

I'm sure Trump appreciates his methodology.
He also terrorized his own citizens. Amazing how little people seem to know about Iraq and Saddam.

details aren't for winners
yes, he's wrong. He didn't kill terrorists well, he killed well, period, and some of those people were terrorists. He just labeled everyone he killed an enemy of the state, or a terrorist, or whatever.
neat non-sequitur

Ok..clear now.
His statement immediately reminded me of an Animaniacs short.

Animaniacs and Tiny Toons are seared into my fricking brain.
They're kind of backed into a corner with him now, so they're going to either have to support him or hand the GE to Clinton.
Even if they could, they won't.

the religious extremist groups were a threat to his rule and he suppressed them. Was he worse than the extremist groups? Maybe. Organized terror in a localized region vs unorganized guerrila terror around the world is a pretty shitty choice.

The way he worded it is awful but this is consistent with trump's dislike of bush Jr., since he was the one that deposed saddam.
