in the case of saddam hussein, it was pretty obvious.e has a unique facial characteristics, and even with that giant beard, it didn't take long for us to realize that we have the right guy. >> saddam hussein became a prisoner when he remained at your camp longer than originally expected, 30 days. you write that you had an obligation both morally and legally to keep him safe. so you visited his room every day, to speak with the doctor on guard, but in the end you never addressed him directly. tell us about that. >> it was interesting, when we first captured him, he was pompous, arrogant, he still felt that he would come back into power. so what we had to do pretty quickly was to make sure he understood that he was a prisoner of the united states, and we were going to treat him well. but he was not going to have outside contact with any of his former iraqi leaders, we were going to put him in a cell with other people, that his days as the leader of iraq were over. but, again, to your point, i had a moral and legal obligation to make sure t

. >> we all remember those images of saddam hussein the moment that he was captured. you were in the joint operations center and you heard the c squadron command who was on the ground saying, "we have jackpot." take us inside the joint operations center at that moment. >> well, the joint operations center -- we refer to it as the joc -- was probably about 100 people that are sitting in a room with a lot of computers. again, this was 2003, so the technology wasn't quite as sopsticated as it is today. we actually didn't have a drone. we had a helicopter with an optical ball on it that was providing our isr, our video coverage, if you will. and so when i got the call from the squadron commander and he said, "we have jackpot," you're always, as the guy sitting in the rear, you're thinking, "okay, this is good news." but at the end of the day, you have to confirm the jackpot. we have had a lot of times in the course of the last 20 years where we thought we had the rightndividual and then we get them back and, you know, we look at everything from their fingerprints to their

and others tried to convince the world that saddam hussein had weapons of mass destruction. none of course were found. it was in may 2003 that george bush then declared that mission accomplished in iraq. but of course, there's been another 18 years of american troops there more than 4000 american deaths, certainly many more iraqi deaths. and it was a war that divided public opinion here in the united states and devastated iraq. many people would say it caused a great deal of upset in the whole region itself, the prime minister himself. he said that when he was leaving rock, that it was clear that the iraqi forces no longer needed the us to fight this battle. but the still need them to help some important issues such as intelligence and training. and that is why around 200-2500 us troops will stay in iraq, but after 18 years of involvement in iraq, it was a very low key way that joe biden made the announcement. our role in iraq will be as a dealing with not just to be available to continue to train to assist to help and to deal with isis. whereas is as right, but we are not g

more than 60 patients were being treated here when fire sweat through this unit at el hussein hospital in nasiriyah, taking everything in its path while front door was burning and the back door was closed, people couldn't get out. but before the fire broke out, some of them managed to get out. and afterwards people was stuck inside and the ceiling fell on them. we managed to take out some people, but they were suffering, and the rest of them burned and died. and now they are left counting the dead shod belongings. all that's left devastation everywhere. the horrors of what happened. hard to comprehend it still on clear how the fire started. some officials claim an oxygen tank exploded while others point to an electrical short circuit. this just the latest disaster to hit iraq has to be, it's a tragedy and i'm speechless. it looks like her rock again has to suffer anguish and calamity in the medical staff continue to treat the survivors some in a critical condition. the questions are already being asked. this is the 2nd time this year of fi killed corona, virus, patients at an iraq you

in the date saddam hussein would be persuaded to leave the country and not require an invasion of theessages passed and requests made and they were robust pretty did not think saddam hussein very likely was purposely trying to make the world believe he had large stockpiles. i think that he felt that he had friends in the united nations who might be the evil hundred evil to stop the united states the very southern countries that were supporting the coalition predict and prevent them from going in. i also think that because president george w. bush his father, i'm going into iraq after iraq invaded kuwait and caused them to be removed from kuwait but not change the regime. there is good evidence that who don't sit the same belief that american would not change the retainment that he would survive in the united states might commence. so there was a combination of things taking place and argued for it and there were the behavior pattern on the part of iraq misguided as it turned out and he refused to leave with his family which was offered and urged. and war is the failure of diplomacy ri

the fight, as we now know, would re john, even after the fall of saddam hussein. by april 2004, america had 144000 troops on the ground in iraq, and the numbers would fluctuate over the years as us forces would fight a bloody campaign against rocky insurgency and al qaeda. now the white house reportedly plans to fully end the u. s. as combat mission in the country by the end of the year with president bite and saying the united states needs to quote, fight the battles for the next 20 years. not the last 20 or role in iraq. b as a dealing with not just to be available to continue to train to assist to help and to deal with isis whereas is arrived. but we are not going to be brought in here in a competition. but as history has shown with us interventionism focusing on the future and not the past is easier said than done, particularly when it comes to the middle east in iraq. isis, despite being severely weakened, continues to rear its ugly head carrier bombings, and attacks on both security forces and civilians. and both the us and israel continue to view iranian ba

again we were attacked on september 11th, bio, solomon, lighten, and al qaeda in afghanistan. saddam hussein and iraq have nothing whatsoever to do with this, but the plan was so good. you just had to make sense of it. and to the narrative, saddam has weapons of mass destruction, and he's going to give them to our enemies who will carry out another $911.00 style attack. it was perfect. it's what human psychology proves to us. when you're a big believer in something, and you really have to do something, everything you see confirms what you want to believe. the big plan was bought by congress, including done senator joe biden, even by other countries like the u. k, who invaded iraq with us. but the truth, saddam had no weapons of mass destruction, there was no evidence, but there is evidence the us invaded iraq to take its oil. look, we're all of rocks, biggest oil fields are and those areas just like what woeful what said. the north and the south, the u. s. goes in bombs, baghdad in 2003 sets up military basis and look where they put them. kind of like that plan. they talked about a camp davi

outlined this have of iraq's people live in the north, the kurds, and they don't like us to saddam hussein. the other half live in the south next to an american ally kuwait. the us could easily take over these 2 areas, then take over iraq's major oil fields, ultimately cutting off saddam from his main money maker oil. pretty good plan, right. good plan, except it wasn't iraq that attacked us, that the counter terrorism center reiterated again we were attacked on september 11th bio, summit, bin laden and al qaeda in afghanistan. saddam hussein and iraq have nothing whatsoever to do with this with the plan was so good. you just had to make sense of it. and so the narrative, saddam has weapons of mass destruction and he's going to give them to our enemies who will carry out another $911.00 style attack. it was perfect. it's what human psychology proves to us. when you're a big believer in something, and you really have to do something, everything you see confirms what you want to believe. the big plan was bought by congress, including done senator joe biden, even by other countries like the u

declaration may $22003.00 that fight, as we now know, would rage on, even after the fall of saddam hussein. by april 2004 america had over a 144000 troops on the ground in iraq, and the numbers would fluctuate over the years as us forces would actually fight a bloody campaign against a rocky insurgency and all kite up. now in august 2010, you had done president obama. he declared an end to the 7 year combat mission in iraq. and after the 1st major draw down, just over 47000 troops remained in the area by 2011. that number then would drop to just a few 100 by 2014. when the u. s. joined a rocky and kurdish forces in the fight against isis as of january 20, 212500 us troops remain in iraq right now. both of us and iraq government agreed back in april to transition to a train and advised mission, meaning that some us forces would remain there on the ground, as has been the case in the past to help train advise and equip rocky forces that are there. now the white house reportedly plans to fully end the u. s. mission in the country by the end of this year with president biden saying that they n

same was to saddam hussein who america said had tied with al qaeda. but in 2008 pentagon study concluded there was no direct link between what's more the bush administration at the time also claim that iraq had weapons of mass destruction. but a declassified u. s. report showed those claims were based on assumptions, not facts. economics professor richard wolfe believed that was oil that was dominating washington. ah, well the dimensions of this, the 1st one as you rightly point out, was snatching the oil and avoiding what might have happened if saddam had been able to go in the way. and the whole region had reorganized itself in terms of the global oil trade in claims of the role of the dollar in that trade and all the strategic questions around that. but you can call it whatever you want. this is also a piece of the united states and playing around with words to avoid admitting that is not going to help the situation. and i think it's an open question. what is going to happen now? which will be stabilize the region, the stabilize the oil industry. a

and you certainly see that in iraq where the overthrow of saddam hussein and the expenditure of blood and treasure and iraq only led to the rise of the islamic state. just like you can say that the assassination of fuel money the, are running a military leader by mr. trump, has not provided some sort of holiday for us forces in iraq. because what that is meant is that mr. sula, money successor does not have a firm grip on the running and back forth was in iraq, as mr. sula money did. so, the united states just stumbles from one catastrophe. once we ask, go to another 01 historian and african american study. thanks for joining us. in the program, good to have you on today. on a lighter notes, a certain british cartoon peg has been causing a bit of trouble across the pon, american parents. i've been shocked to find kids using british phrases and even speaking with english accents that soften the children, watched hours of peppa pig during locked out the scene. you like the watching not to pick has you told me i started calling you mommy all going to go to the lou instead of the bathroom

at that point it was shocking, or it was all about removing saddam hussein from power. you remember the george bush, donald rumsfeld, and other said that saddam hussein had weapons of mass destruction. of course, no weapons of mass destruction, whatever phone you go back to me and 2000 in 3 and george bush declared mission accomplished. but more than 4000 americans have died in that period. a lot more iraqis have died. there is a great deal of instability in the country. and of course, opinion here in the united states was very much split. donald trump decided that he would increase the numbers in iraq to combat the growth of iso. and he was successful in that, on the scale, but the numbers to about 2500. those are going to be the sort of numbers we should expect from the united states going forward, but they will not be combat operations that will be about advising and helping the iraqi military. certainly we had from prime minister could even before he left baghdad. and he said essentially that the us doesn't need to fight iraq battles any more that his soldiers are m

we backed saddam hussein and his war against iran. imagine if we still had him there, instead we have a vacuum that is the number one strategic concern for israel, iran. i do not know why we removed what was in effect in light of israel? that is common sense. we sided with the soviets during world war ii, we do not like them but we needed them. you do not want to stand against your enemy alone. those who supported the war, blew it. host: let's go to roberts in greenville, texas, you're on the air. caller: good morning. what a pleasure to hear chris. i want an opinion about something that after these last four years would greatly enhance this country if we were able to transfer control of various branches of government that we consider part of the judiciary that are working for the department of justice such as the fbi and the investigative arms of government and put them under the control of the judicial branch. namely the supreme court. figure out a way to structure for the judiciary to be independent of politics. and run the investi

people who bring us into war, for example, we have got to get rid of saddam hussein. what about the 200,000 people who are going to die? talk about that, too. debate and democracy are tied together. we need debate for a true democracy. host: you write about that in your previous book, "the gipper: when politics worked." -- "tip and the gipper: when politics worked." could you imagine the picture here, it is ronald reagan, could we see that today with president biden and the house republican leader? guest: i wish we could. back in the 1980's, you would see a picture of tip o'neill, and they would be very openly showing friendship. you do not see that today. again, they worked together, they work in the same buildings, they vote in the same chamber, they had lunch together at the same dining hall -- they are together all the time. why wouldn't there be natural friendships? it happens in any business, if you are lucky. i think they are afraid to do that, because there donor base -- their donor base does not want to see that. you do not want to see them hanging around the

in the long term, it means removing saddam hussein and his regime from power.that now needs to become the aim of american foreign policy. we urge you to articulate this aim, and to turn your administration's attention to implementing a strategy for removing saddam's regime from power. this will require a full compliment of diplomatic, political and military efforts. although we are fully aware of the dangers and difficulties in implementing this policy, we believe the dangers of failing to do so are far greater. we believe the u.s. has the authority, under the existing u.n. resolutions to take the necessary steps, including military steps, to protect our vital interest in the gulf. last sentence - in any case, american policy cannot continue to be crippled by a misguided insistence on anonymity in the u.n. security council." now, if you look over on this screen, you will see who signed it. and those people - on the right, all those people were out of government at the time, and then in the next - in the administration of george bush, they come in. national secu

time who had a theory i guess you'd call it the freedom theory that if we could knock off saddam hussein whom they thought was a bad guy and i don't but if we could knock him off we could change iraq into a democracy and that idea would have a domino effect of changing any other government. they were called neocons. there were two things going on before the iraq national intelligence which was fatally flawed. one was neocons had a theory of change the they wanted support for the intelligence argument or the other was the intelligence community wasn't a community. so we ended up with a cherry-picked duopoly case for invading iraq and shame on me i read everything. i read the supporting evidence they had and the intelligence data and i travel to the united kingdom and britain which hasn't still has some of the most competent intelligence agencies and i travel to the middle east and i came home and this is in the book. i read everything about the iraq war. i did leave the intelligence showed america was at risk and possibly could be attacked especially by these biological weapons of saddam

in 1983, ronald reagan sent rumsfeld to baghdad to try and broker closer ties with saddam hussein. two decades later, it was defense secretary rumsfeld who argued saddam had to go. >> the iraqi regime has chosen more peaceful disarmament. reporter: in the u.s. led war was to make that happen. he and other officials accused iraq of helping to plan the september 11 attacks which it did not. he also accused iraq of possessing weapons of mass destruction which it did not. he was wrong, but rumsfeld refused to say so. >> we believe the intelligence was correct. it turned out it was not correct. reporter: at first, rumsfeld embraced neoconservative ideology, but in his 2013 memoir, he changed his tune. i did not think resolving other countries internal political disputes remissions for our men and women in uniform. more important, rumsfeld refused to plan for the chaos. again, he would not apologize. >> there are known knowns. things we think we know, some known unknowns. reporter: critics say rumsfeld's desire to spend as little money as possible to fight the war meant u.s. troops did n

of that war the kurdish population in iraq had basically risen up and revolted against hut saddam hussein. he responded by crushing them and millions of kurdish iraqis fled. they fled into the mountains of northern iraq, they were trying to save themselves and their families. turkey wouldn't let them cross the border, they had nowhere else to go. saddam was after them in a genocidal of rage. the un ended up setting up what was intended to be a safe zone for the kurds in northern iraq, it was protected by no fly zone. it was an international coalition effort. lots of groups provided help there to. that inherently unstable situation lasted five years. but, in 1996, bill clinton is now president, saddam attacked and the coalition forces that were protecting the iraqi kurds they backed out, they left. the reasons for that and the consequences of that are dark and complex, and that is a longer story. in the immediate moment in 1996 when that happened, the u.s. realized that it had a big short term, simple, urgent, moral and strategic catastrophe on their hands. in the five years since the gulf
