Correction...
Saddam was pretty wealthy.
apparently she has a mental block that doesn't allow her to see reality. Iraq, at least southern Iraq was a freakin wasteland, due primarily to the war with Iran, well before the US showed up for Desert Storm. There are still rusted out hulks of Iranian tanks along the roadsides in the Basrah and Maysan provinces. there are still minefields in those provinces that haven't been cleared from the Iran/Iraq war. And the only people who actually prospered under Saddam were his friends, family and supporters.
