Yup, pretty good. The only problem is that it repeats the canard that we armed Iraq.

To the best of my memory, Iraq was armed with exclusively Soviet Bloc weapons. In the Iran-Iraq war, we provided assistance in the form of satellite imagery and analysis.

Lots of folks believe we put Saddam Hussein in power. We didn't. We put the Shah of Iran in power, which ultimately resulted in hostages being held for 444 days (and still affects things to this day), but Saddam seized power in Iraq quite nicely without any help from the U.S.

We supplied Iraq with hundreds of millions of dollars in weapons.

Granted  this is a very small total( well small total in govt money, they usually like to give billions of our tax dollars away) over the years and Iraq did get
armed mostly from the Soviets. Also France, Germany and China.

The CIA has ties with Saddam back to 1959, while it is unknown
for sure if they helped to topple the former govt for Saddam.

Lets face it  they well could have, it fucked around so many other places.
