BAGHDAD — Tucker Carlson sat down with Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein for an exclusive interview on the evils of American foreign policy.
Broadcasted live from an undisclosed bunker, where Saddam is still well and alive, the conversation dove deep into how the U.S. invaded Iraq, and are now doing the same to Iran.
“Look, Tucker,” Saddam began. “I was just a humble dictator trying to expand Iraq, maybe invade a neighbor or two, and build weapons of mass destruction. But America? They’re the ones dropping bombs like it’s Fourth of July everyday here in the Middle East. Who’s the real warmonger?”
Carlson, nodding solemnly, leaned forward. “Saddam, you’ve been out of the game for a while, but you’ve seen the headlines. Stealth bombers, sanctions, regime changes—America’s still at it. What’s driving this obsession with meddling in everyone’s business?”
Saddam threw his hands up, “It’s simple, my friend. Power, oil, and doing whatever that Zionist Netanyahu says. Back in my day, if I wanted to invade Kuwait, I just did it. No one pretended that it was about human rights. America, though? They’ll bomb a wedding and call it a precision strike for freedom.”
Carlson pressed further. “Let’s talk about 2003. The invasion. You were toppled, Saddam. Some say you had it coming. What’s your take?” To which Saddam replied, “Tucker, I wasn’t a saint. I tortured a few innocent people. But America is worse. They are evil”
As the interview wrapped, Carlson said he agreed with Saddam.
