An interesting slide/video presentation sent to me from a friend:

A little simplistic and tells the story from a Saddam sympathizer's POV. Where's the part about him and his sons being butchers of innocents?

[Saddle Bronc 124]

Gross flaw:

It says "1980 Incoming Reagan Admin encourages invasion of Iran".

From Wiki:

The war began when Iraq invaded Iran on 22 September 1980...

Note that this is BEFORE Election Day in US, so there was NO "incoming Reagan Admin" at the time (I won't say that CANDIDATE Reagan didn't encourage it, sensing his own "cakewalk" victory in the polls).

Don't forget the Iraq Olympic Team...

You want to be on the Olympic team? Sure thing! Oh, by the way, bring home the medal OR ELSE! You know what happens to Iraqi Olympic team members that lose...

True... Okay Abdul, you let in 2 goals in our soccer match and we lost. Since you can't detect soccer balls you get to detect mines! Get behind your teammate that couldn't score goals. He's going to clear a path from here to over there. If he gets blown up pick up his stick and continue.

Now *THAT* is a job that would suck!

Just the thought and image of that makes me gag...

I stopped at the "1980 incoming Reagan Admin encourages to invade Iran"--as on 9/22 of any election year, you DO NOT HAVE an "incoming admin" (even if you have an eligible incumbent president who's confident of winning again--and in this case, Reagan was NOT incumbent in 1980).

I just watched a documentary on the 'National Geographic' channel about Saddam and his sons. The video evidence in that documentary directly contradicts the hearsay in the slide show.

The documentary actually contradicted itself by including an obvious factual error.
