Saddam Hussein
Where each worldview places it
A Safari Club consortium member whose arms were financed through BNL loans arranged by Kissinger Associates (1984). He shared oil kick-backs with Bush[1]. And the Truth calls him a dictator installed by the CIA in 1968, "a close friend of Bush for many years", armed by Britain and America, who "if … not in on the plot" of the Gulf War "was brilliantly set up"[2].
