Donald Trump praises Saddam Hussein for killing 'terrorists,' again

[kpete]

CHARLOTTE: Donald Trump has praised late Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein for killing off "terrorists," reprising previous comments in support of dictators in the Middle East and earning a swift rebuke from White House rival Hillary Clinton.

The United States "shouldn't have destabilized" Iraq, now a hotbed for the Islamic State group 13 years after the US-led invasion, said Trump, who showed lukewarm support for the war before it took place and later opposed it.

"He was a bad guy -- really bad guy. But you know what he did well? He killed terrorists. He did that so good,"

Trump told supporters.

"They didn't read them the rights. They didn't talk. They were terrorists. It was over. Today, Iraq is Harvard for terrorism," the Republican firebrand added, referring to the prestigious US university.

1. So you support Saudi Arabia's position then?

2. So you disagree with President Obama and the Chilcot Report's verdict

on Saddam and the Iraq War.

It was a dumb and unnecessary war.

No amount of amnesia or obfuscation will cover that up.
