1. That the CIA assisted in deposing Kassim and bringing Hussain to power.
Here's a UPI story on the subject. Note that, in 1958, there was a real
possibility of the Soviet Union taking control of the oil in the Middle
East, and that Abd al-Karim Qasim was in their pocket. This was on the
heels of the Soviet invasion of Hungary because is people were geting
too much freedom.

2. That April Glaspie, US Ambassador to Baghdad, in a meeting with
Saddam Hussain, in effect, indicated that the US would be neutral
concerning the pending Iraqi-Kuwait war.
April Glaspie claims that the transcript of the interview was a
fabrication.
Here is a pretty balanced article:

3. That it is very questionable whether Saddam had gassed a Kurd village
in 1988.
Here's an article from the Physicians for Human Rights:
