You were talking about someone having Saddam in his pocket for 30 years.

Saddam was in pocket of US for almost a half century not only for 30 years.

I'm sorry, but you're just typing words and hoping someone will believe
you. If Hussein was in the pocket, or even vaguely influenced by, the
US, they would have never bought those billions of dollars in Soviet
equipment, they never would have invaded Kuwait, and they never would
have attacked Israel.

On the other hand, if Hussein ws influenced by the Soviets, they would
have acted, well, just like they did.
