Yeah the US put him in there. Economics. They tried to take him out in early 90s and take control of Iraq. Then he still wasnt doing what they wanted him to do. So they tried to kill him a bunch of times throughout the 90s, he was very agile and good at dodging "jackals".
Quote:
Jackals are CIA-sanctioned people that come in and try to foment a coup or revolution. If that doesn’t work, they perform assassinations—or try to. In the case of Iraq, they weren’t able to get through to Saddam Hussein… His bodyguards were too good. He had doubles. They couldn’t get through to him. So the third line of defense, if the economic hit men and the jackals fail, the next line of defense is our young men and women, who are sent in to die and kill, which is what we’ve obviously done in Iraq.

Until finally, got the real chance in early 2000s (right after 9/11) and did it.
Still have no idea why we went into Iraq after 9/11 ? What was the connection? LMAO ;)
