President Johnson was being replaced by Nixon in 1969, then Ford, and Carter.

Biography of Jimmy Carter

"In foreign affairs, Carter set his own style. His championing of human rights was coldly received by the Soviet Union and some other nations. In the Middle East, through the Camp David agreement of 1978, he helped bring amity between Egypt and Israel. He succeeded in obtaining ratification of the Panama Canal treaties. Building upon the work of predecessors, he established full diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China and completed negotiation of the SALT II nuclear limitation treaty with the Soviet Union.

There were serious setbacks, however. The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan caused the suspension of plans for ratification of the SALT II pact. The seizure as hostages of the U. S. embassy staff in Iran dominated the news during the last 14 months of the administration. The consequences of Iran's holding Americans captive, together with continuing inflation at home, contributed to Carter's defeat in 1980. Even then, he continued the difficult negotiations over the hostages. Iran finally released the 52 Americans the same day Carter left office."

The Baath party was not Hussein, and it existed long before Hussein. His Uncle led the party, Hussein went to work for him in the early 70s and slowly started to accumulate power until he was able to purge the party in 1978. During this time Iraq was a Soviet Client state, primarily because the Iran and Saudi Arabia were US allies. After the 79 revolution in Iran, the Soviet Union switched its support to Iran, and Iraq and the US started working together.

So no US President had any hand in putting Saddam into power. He did it all by himself.

Evidence suggests US and British Intelligence had a hand in supporting Saddam's regime since 1963.

LOL, Saddam wasn't in power in 1963. He seized power in 1978, though he was the power behind the scenes for 2-3 years before then).

Humm, this is the time line I remember. And it was his cousin, not his uncle.

However, this is the time line you are thinking of:

Saddam Hussein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So enough evidence to support your position, however it wasn't "Saddam's Party" in 1963 (he was 26 at the time), so I would question the accuracy of the wiki on this aspect. I was going on an in depth PBS special I saw.

I didn't say Saddam was in power in 1963 either, Soho.

Quickly now, consult yer Google!

You said: "Evidence suggests US and British Intelligence had a hand in supporting Saddam's regime since 1963."

Sure seems to suggest that Saddam had a regime in 1963, but I know what you meant (but did not say properly):

"There is some evidence to support the suggestion that in 1963 Saddam was an agent for the CIA in a failed coup attempt."

By the way, in keeping with the original post, this would have made Saddam an agent under a democrat president Kennedy.

Nobody even denys the Iraqi support. Only thse fuckign fanatic idiots on the internet would argue this shit.
