-sudame usane was the guy in iraq,when he started the bahuff party.1979-2003 that is when he was in power. we captured him in 03 but he wasnt killed till 2006. we sent up democracy in iraq, we wanted the iraq people to kill him so they took him and put him on trial, there was an oil shortage so he provided jobs for people. he did a cult of personality- he wanted people to know hes in charge he wanted people to worship him and want people to know hes watching them want them to know hes everywhere.
-1980s we support sudame usane, we helped him with iran.
1991-2003- weapons inspectors, we sent into the countries to make sure they didnt have weapons of distruction, usane played cat and mouse with us, he wanted people to think he had weapons to make him look tough,
-the no fly zone- we flew everday over numerous occasions to protect the people because iraq wasnt supposed to put troops in any of those parts.
