Greatest Muslim General of 20th century, (one of)Great man who kept country strong but got Hanged!

[flamer84]

A complete retard who,despite technological superiority, couldn't defeat a depleted Iranian Army and who dragged his country in the devastating First Gulf War by invading Kuwait.

Colonal Qadafi is far more good than stupid Saddam he is no doubt good but fell in trap of USA. Gen Zia, Gen Musharraf, Gen Al Sisi and now gen Raheel.

Qaddafi is another looser whose mechanized forces,supported by fighter jets were trashed by Toyota riding Chadians.

can we count Ata Turk Mustafa Kamal in 20th Century? he was the best among the best.

My guess is that he might be the best Muslim Commander, but was he a General?

This thread is an embarrassment on God knows how many levels...

1st of all - Saddam and muslim in the same sentence? He was an avowed secularist with socialist tendencies. He would wear the veil of Islam when it suited him - not too different from military dictators all across the muslim world. There was nothing Islamic about him lol

2nd - Great? He wasn't great...if he was great he wouldn't have gotten involved in a 8-9 year war with Iran...one in which he most definitely didn't win militarily, the opposite in fact. He wasted thousands of young Iraqi lives and billions of dollars

3rd - any imbecile would have known, the west wouldn't let him keep Kuwait...his 'army' got their butts kicked, in what was it? 100 hours?

4th - remind me what he looked like when he was captured? Like a ragged *** rat, cowering away in fear.

5th - any man who uses chemical weapons on his own people, is a lot of things...but, GREAT? Never.

6th - Leaving every else aside....what were his signature military victories?

Saddam was a butcher, but at least he keep everyone in check.

when he was dethroned it became the wild west over there.

Trust me US let the cat loose when it attacked Iraq. US is more then partially responsible for ME mess starting from Iraq. I am no fan of Saddam Either, but he held his country under strict control and people were prosperous.

Iraq did not have N weapons, nor it find an iota of evidence linking him to OBL. One of the very few utter failures of CIA.

Iraq is more prosperous now, than under Saddam, but also much less safe,
and that is due to Saddams old cronies wanting back to power and sectarian shia leadership,
fueled from Iran, which is also partially responsible for the ME mess.

The muslim countries of middle east are better off under these strong dictators who rule with iron fist like Saddam Hussain or Egyptian Nasser. The sectarian divide will not allow democracy to function here. Saudi Iran conflict, destruction of iraq, yemen, libya, syria and afghanistan further makes it necssary for strong local rulers.

Please dont justify. Call spade a spade. More prosperous? Half of that country is under ISIS with people living under fear..

West, especially ruined Iraq. Agree or no?

Look at the GDP growth and you see why. Security situation is very different.
Most people no longer fear the government.
The fear is for attacks from IS, the cronies of Saddam.
Once IS is defeated, and if they get a non secterist government, there is hope for Iraq.

It is time the Muslims in Middle East grew up...
