France was famously flamed by the American media when they were found to have helped out Saddam, even going so far as to arm his military.
If France had made a case to the world that Saddam and Iraq did not need to be taken out, countering the Bush/Hillary globalist agitprop, then perhaps public opinion could have saved Saddam.
...I hope that our pols remember how they denied Saddam's request for a dignified death and instead insisted upon hanging him with a rope that was not equipped for the job, bungling the execution bigly.
I remember seeing the execution video of saddam. How did they bungle the hanging though? It looked like he was dead after he dropped.
