Yes I have. There were many tales of torture chambers and rape rooms and also the fantastic legend (much repeated here if not in the US) of a giant shredding machine that Saddam’s sons fed dissidents in to legs first so as to cause maximum pain and terror before death. The politicians don’t talk about this so much anymore as it was proved to be more Chalabi lies. I’m sure Saddam was a tyrant by any measure but the world is full of tyrants supported by the west so what made him different? Oil perhaps? It’s also amazing how all these people survived torture rape and murder in order to tell us how bad it was..... I thought that once you were murdered that was pretty much it. As for the million deaths in the Iraq / Iran war. Well that was a war almost entirely sponsored by the west in order to curb the ambition of the Iranian Islamic revolution. We then provided weapons and on the ground logistical support for Saddam and weapons for Iran.... so our hands aren’t exactly clean on that either.
And...... the mass grave stories have turned out to be, well frankly, not quite as advertised.
