>saddam was able to evade capture for 9 months despite facing an invasion>khamenei is blown up on day 1 with no invasionapologize
>>529479926He was 86 and thought he could just chill in his house
back when war was based and fun without ai drones
>>529479926Saddam still had loyal supporters that became insurgents and were sniping and blowing up Mutt soldiers.
>>529479926They got the intelligence wrong, and Saddam wasn't where he was expected. Had he been where they thought he was, he would have died on the first day too. I will assume that with the improvements in surveillance and tracking, they were able to make more sure this time
>>529479926Khamanei wasn’t hiding.
>>529479926Yea he was a nerd put in the big chair out in the open by the chads, he was an easy shot. Of course they blasted him to smithereens. Saddam killed a million people between him and KHOMEINI - Literally the Prophet of Truth from Halo 3 - and fought Iran to a standstill, then toughed out invading and getting repelled by the US out of Kuwait, AND STILL threw up a fiery defense and resistance in Iraq from 2003 -2008
Bush wanted war and Trump wants to win. Big difference.
>>529480366He was a coward who tried to hide behind his daughter and granddaughter
Khamenei thought negotiations were still underway. He didn't realize Trump is truly faithless (but the world now does).
>>529480524Al Qeada were not "loyal supporters" of Saddam, you dummy. They were opportunists.
That's why I say this is all fake and gayDude was 86 and already knew Trump plays these sorts of games.Watch Khamenei having played this knowing he was a dead man walking and set himself up to be killed to justify some other response.
>>529481099This. With Bush it was all about appearance and having a big invasion to outdo his dad, and all so the war profiteers like Cheney could make out like bandits. Haliburton provided food among other things for troops in the warzone. You can't do that with a war that is conducted with just airstrikes.
>>529481118Or he just lived with his family? You think he didn't know Israel wasn't above killing women and children?>>529481196Al Qaeda was not the only faction in the Iraqi insurgency. There were Hussein loyalists.>>529481412You also need an invasion to actually achieve regime change, which Trump will have to do if he wants to.
