It isn’t a great “secret” that Saddam Hussein in the 1980s was supported with American arms to fight against the evil Ayatollah Khomeini (that had been installed and was armed from the USA)...
It isn’t widely known that according to several sources, Saddam Hussein was already working for the CIA in 1959, as part of a six-man hit squad in the failed assassination attempt of Iraqi Prime Minister Gen. Abd al-Karim Qasim.
According to Adel Darwish, the assassination attempt on Qasim was done "with full knowledge of the CIA" and Saddam's handler was an Iraqi dentist working for CIA and Egyptian intelligence. Darwish said that Saddam was paid by the assistant military attaché at the Egyptian Embassy Capt. Abdel Maquid Farid. This was confirmed by 3 former senior U.S. officials.
According to several U.S. government officials, after the failed assassination attempt, Saddam (who had a leg injury) escaped to Tikrit with the help of the CIA and Egyptian intelligence agents.
According to Darwish and former senior CIA officials, Saddam then crossed Syria and was transferred to Beirut by Egyptian intelligence agents, where his apartment was paid for by the CIA that also trained him.
The CIA helped Saddam to get to Cairo where he made frequent visits to the American Embassy where he spoke with CIA operatives like Miles Copeland and CIA station chief Jim Eichelberger.
According to veteran CIA operative Miles Copeland (father of the famous Police drummer), the CIA had "close ties" to Qasim's ruling Baath Party.
Former National Security Council staffer in the 1970s Roger Morris confirmed that the CIA had picked the Baath Party "as its instrument" to control Iraq.
According to former U.S. intelligence officials, the Agency provided the Baath Party with lists of suspected communists who were then jailed, interrogated and killed.
Morris claimed that the CIA (approved by President John F. Kennedy) was also behind the February 1963 Baath Party coup in which Qasim was killed. This was strongly denied by a former senior CIA official.

The CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency became even closer to Saddam after the start of the Iran-Iraq war in September 1980. In the 1980s, the CIA regularly sent intelligence to Iraq to increase the effectiveness of Iraq's armed forces.
Of course Saddam was executed before he got the chance to tell all: https://www.globalpolicy.org/component/c...36408.html
