CIA Interrogator Reveals Saddam Hussein Predicted Rise of ISIS & U.S. Failure in Iraq

democracynow.org - Ten years ago this week, on December 30, 2006, former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein was executed. Hussein was toppled soon after the U.S. invasion began in 2003. We continue our conversation with former CIA analyst John Nixon, author of the new book, "Debriefing the President: The Interrogation of Saddam Hussein."

[@Alsatiagent]

It was Jean Chretien who was prime minister at the time. It was his finest moment. Are we all to take the word "globalist" as the latest sneering slur coming from your camp? There is one thin atmosphere on this planet. It does not care who has been indoctrinated with falsehoods and who has not.

[@araag.4257]

De Villepin made a very powerfull and Clairvoyant plead warning of the consequences and the chaos that will insue in the middle east, and what was the US reaction? French bashing as cowards and the "freedom fries", hahah.

[@IIIFrenchyIII]

Alsatiagent It's not the latest buzz word. It's a meaningful symbol I'm casting before swine apparently . Truedeu and the idiot before him were a pawn of a rising global system that is inherently evil run by evil in example. It's an increasing less transparent government that laughs at its captors lack of knowledge and insight. It's run with a empatheticless corporate fist whenever possible. So you must have zero insight to not see impending threats to freedom and democracy since the inception of the United States and how they manifest today. In addition you necessarily pay attention to non issues. And fucking blow me with your high and mighty podium high horse moral superiority bullshit "thin veil and the ether not giving a fuck about who is enlightened" you have the geopolitical understanding of a 5 year old. Call me out on getting a leaders years of tenure wrong, that's how you discredit me? Your brain must be really fucking stupid, how boring, make a better point.

[@MrMiamiswaggz305]

Look at how distraught this American man is. He thought his beloved country was spreading peace and democracy. This man is sincere but works with many heartless disingenuous individuals who lack empathy. I applaud him because he grew as a person to the best of his ability. Hopefully his story can change someone's perception on life. Unfortunately he will age and die and other foolish people will take his place. Nothing is new under the sun guys. Bush sounds like a very wicked man.

Shem Talons Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and the other zionists and neocons who surrounded them, plus Tony Blair, have been tried in absentia by the International Court of Justice in Malaysia and found guilty of war crimes. On that panel there were some prominent US and European lawyers. Blair went public on TV afterwards and apologized, which is not enough. Bush and the other criminals are hiding as cowards in their holes.

[@capitalism420]

BLAIR M Schirmer that's why we need to crush them

[@toonarmyfootsoldier5261]

Amazing.. Saddam was their greatest true ally in the Middle East, spanking America's greatest enemy! The counter-weight, the pin in the grenade. Till the Yanks took that pin out. But fear not .. they ain't finished. Assad next, and blame it on the Russians who have had a strategic ally with Syria, a sea base on the Med coast since the early 70's. How many overseas bases have the Yanks got? A hundred and how many? Gadaffi warned them .. take me out and Europe will be flooded by African migrants. He swore to Berlusconi he would stop migrants .. and he did.

[@richardockenden8669]

Geoege Bush and Tony Blair should be held accountable in the same mannor as Saddam Hussein. We have been spoon fed a load of bs about Hussein, and it turns out his country was better off with his leadership. Saddam at least was not a traitor to his country like Bush and Blair. There has to be true justice one day.

[@naejin]

When Bush was President, we had a complete dunce/jester/fool as President, who was easily manipulated by other powerful interests/personalities (such as Dick Cheney and big oil corporations (see Halliburton).

[@ch.ahsanismail3669]

Bush and Blair are war criminals and should be put to trial (Full Stop).

[@putinsgaytwin4272]

Yup. Bush senior decided not to invest Iraq because he knew it would create a power vaccuum. Like he has a quote basically saying it would be idiotic to invade iraq. Couldn't agree more about Bush junior being an idiot and dick cheney wanting oil

[@dayanamendez8903]

[@ahabthewhaler]

Watching Bush give that speech in 2003 is embarrassing. It is like watching something from a b grade movie and people/journalists just believed it and went along with it. The saddest part is you know it would happen exactly the same way again

[@jaeldartey1380]

The sad thing is that it is still happening today. American leaders, journalists etc are still lying for their own personal agenda. Placing so many innocent peoples lives in turmoil. Indeed they might think they are God but they really have a lot to answer to God Almighty when they die

[@netabaughman3079]

[@dootdoot1867]

It really pains me to look into this man's eyes. There is something about him that is extremely tortured... Wow.....

[@johnnyaingel5753]

bush what a liar

[@nostradumass6582]

He bases his attitude toward the invasion on whether or not anything good was achieved such as democracy. Did it ever enter his mind that how Iraqis live is none of Americas fucking business. Every Iraqi i know thought Saddam was okay.

[@MA-zo3cm]

He wasn't okay, he was scum who killed people. The only people who think he's okay are people who don't mind if he doesn't kill demographics that they happen to not be a part of.

[@muneerhasan603]

If you lived in Saddam’s state then you would know the truth. He was a criminal who took over and had killed hundreds of thousands of people and of course his supporters would say he’s ok.

[@ocolotav1]

Finally someone from the government talking how I always saw it a disgusting crime by Bush & US.

[@accidentalanarchist3304]

This is actually quite heartbreaking to watch. The people in the UK are trying to have Tony Blair jailed for his part in destroying Iraq, but I wont hold my breath. Now it's the Libyan & Syrian people who're going the same way, and my heart sinks every time I think about it.

Great interview

[@miltonperez3421]

I liked Bush's point about having weapons of mass destruction to dominate, intimidate, or attack. The USA keeps nukes, and chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction. And, according to Bush, that sort of arsenal could only be used to dominate, intimidate, and attack.

[@ajaypasricha9855]

I wish Christopher Hitchens could watch this

[@uncletom356]

I love Hitch, but he became a typical uninformed dimwit when it came to the Iraq War. I just never understood how such a great man, who thought so incredibly could stoop to such a low. And he was completely correct about Vietnam. I guess 9/11 just made him so emotional that he forgot how to reason and be logical.

[@uncletom356]

I highly doubt any religious sentiment was involved in his decision to back it. Are you familiar with his work? Yes, he brought up the Muslim/Islam factor, but maybe you're trying to convey that he was a closet Zionist? Again, I'm not sure about that. He doesn't seem like the type, but maybe.

[@tracirobarchek6710]

[@markhayes4608]

I have a Bachelors degree from Iraq, and I had very beautiful life even though it was poor and simple, but at least I was between my family, friends, and relatives. Unfortunately l lost six of my family members and now one knows where they are until now. Unfortunately United States replaced Saddam with the most uneducated, killers, and radicals Islamic belongs Iran and let them to lead us! Is that fair? Millions of Iraqi outside of their country because of the new radical regime, their main goal to kill any educated person in Iraq to keep them self safe to lead the country. After many years studying in Iraq to got my bachelor degree, then work Driver in United States. Does that fair president Bush? 😢 Thanks for your time to reading my comments

He sounds so repentant, but it took 4000 us personnel and 1000000 Iraqis...........well l have never seen such a back flip .God bless him for his change of heart. That's what it's all about, he said even Saddam was more dignified than the executioners....

[@rocqitmon]

Tom Clancy also did in "Executive Orders"

[@connermcfadden1664]

At 5:21 in the afternoon of 9/11, almost seven hours after the Twin Towers had come down, Building 7 of the World Trade Center also came down. The collapse of this building was from the beginning considered a mystery. [1] The same should have been true, to be sure, of the collapse of the Twin Towers. But they had been hit by planes, which had ignited big fires in them, and many people assumed this combination of causes to be sufficient to explain why they came down. But WTC 7 had not been hit by a plane, so it was apparently the first steel-framed high-rise building in the known universe to have collapsed because of fire alone. New York Times writer James Glanz quoted a structural engineer as saying: “[W]ithin the structural engineering community, [WTC 7] is considered to be much more important to understand [than the Twin Towers],” because engineers had no answer to the question, “why did 7 come down?”

[@bode7164]

[@kurtbrandso2087]

Interesting, while I agree with some of his assertions, I am also weary of his motives then and now and what he has truly done in the past. He faced some tough questions because this is no laughing matter, not to mention that he is the perfect candidate that any news network of the world would have done anything to interview during the Bush presidency. He crafted is answers while looking down whether that be a character trait, nerves or well trained startedgy, who knows? Yeah, sure he right, but how much did he do at the time of his realization that it's all wrong? Amy was spot on with one question concerning Zarkawi, and his answer can easily be disputed as false but they let him off because it's still kind of a win to have somebody of the early Bush administration talk of that time and their involvement. Anyway's, very interesting yet troubling at the same time, to have watched this.

"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line." --President Bill Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998 "If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program." --President Bill Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998 "Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest securitythreat we face." --Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998 "He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983." --Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998 "[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs." - Letter to President Clinton, signed by: Democratic Senators Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others, Oct. 9, 1998 "Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process." -Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998 "Hussein has chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies." -Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999 "There is no doubt that ... Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies." Letter to President Bush, Signed by: - Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), and others, Dec 5, 2001 "We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandate of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them." - Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002 "We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country... Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power." - Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002 "We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction." -Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002 "The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..." - Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002 "I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force -- if necessary -- to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security." - Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002 "There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years ... We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction.” - Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002 "He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do" -Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002 "In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members ... It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons." -Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002 "We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction." -Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002 "Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real..." -Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003

[@codaalive5076]

I got to kind of know Iraq as a very small kid when my little friends used to talk about their fathers working in Iraq, especially girls were missing them. All of them told how daddy's are driving caterpillars which was a very interesting thing for us. When growing up we learned they were building civilian infrastructure with people all around the world, some were working on caterpillars although many were specialists in fields of electronics, architecture, water treatment and similar. Seeing what has US done in Iraq is sad because even socialist governmental press allowed us to know the truth back then. Supposedly "free and super democratic" capitalist parliamentary democracy simply closed the channel and started reporting news from one side only.

[@Albisriede]

We observe two completely different philosophies in action. That of what the public should be allowed to and perhaps wants to hear, and the less obvious of the string-pullers behind the scenes. You cannot bring those two onto a common denominator, for they do not serve the same purposes. The public is expected to want to hear about things 'they' value, small things, people things, moral things, things they can relate to on a daily basis. The string-pullers don't share those values and ideas, but feel a very slight obligation to make things sound like they're "in the public interest". They're NOT! They never are. The only level on which string-pullers relate to the public, is the public's money, their taxes. They want to make sure that this money keeps coming in, so they soothe the public with outrageous lies, scare-tactics etc. The public believes and keeps footing the bills, at the cost of less services to themselves. Talking about martyrs. This will never change, for those who pull the strings don't want the public to discover what really goes on. Eventually, it will all collapse, something not even the great intellects of high finance can prevent or have a solution for. Doesn't it feel that such is about to happen in the not too distant future?

It’s like ok so all the other stuff you said up to where you said “to be honest” wasn’t honest? Everyone has an agenda including this guy. Yes I know there’s all kinds of things bush did that are Skitchy to put it mildly. However it’s just incredibly sad and extremely dangerous that you can’t trust the news agencies.

A CIA agent does not torture anyone himself. He orders a member of the military forces to do it for him. The CIA officer is not culpible, only the military person is culpible. That military member would still be cupible for rufusing the order to use 'enhanced interogation' - he only escapes punishment if the torture does not come to light. This CIA guy should have been asked if anyone tortured Hussein on his orders. I believe Hussein even if this CIA guy did not do it.

@Ur Boi Ali bush is that you??

[@erictobias9679]

Bush: " ... The only possible use he could have for those weapons is to, dominate, intimidate or attack." He just summed up America with this statement. If we weren't doing the EXACT same thing, we wouldn't need all these Weapons of Mass Destruction lying around. Just sayin'.

[@jasoneversole151]

I’m not a believer in torture either but people crying to show how far to the left they lean and calling sadism dignified is hard to hear

While our existence is based on fossil fuels, there will never be peace in the Middle East or any other place with oil. Our refusal to acknowledge that, may lead to our demise. Some of the answers can be found in knowing WHO has to gain the most out of our continuous dependence on oil. Our support for the vile regimes in oil rich countries will produce the threat from 'radicalised' individuals.

Doesn't the USA have stockpiles of WMD's including nuclear weapons? Why do we have them?
