Iraqi War Debrief: Why Saddam Hussein Was Toppled

by Al J. Venter

It took the Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein less that a quarter century to turn the slow march of history in the Middle East upside down. In this short space of time he had twice invaded neighboring countries and cold-bloodedly killed thousands of his own people, let alone those of his enemies, with chemical and biological weapons.

Extraordinary Work

Considering the amount of negative publicity concerning Operation Iraqi Freedom these days it is truly amazing to see an author put all the evidence together for anyone to grind through. Based on sources dating back decades, Mr. Venter puts all the clues and data together detailing why we deposed an awful excuse of a human being. Read this and compare it to what fills the airwaves and editorial pages every day. The decision is up to the reader - the outcome is truly frightening especially in regards to biological weapons. With the mountains of evidence presented from UNSCOM up to 1998 and the bumbling of the UN in the aftermath one has to truly wonder how the free world can remain secure with such inept handling of world shaking events. Mr. Venter's insight is based on his "dirty boots" all through the world and its nasty little conflicts - he does not come off at all as a person who sits in a clean office to make his decisions. I am personally glad this work has been published and is available for all the critics of action in the world. Any thinking person who has had to perform "failure analysis" of subtle issues associated with events can appreciate the depth of his research.
