ITN Exclusive: Saddam Hussein Interviewed on the Eve of the Gulf War (1990)

- In November 1990, ITN's Trevor McDonald travelled to Baghdad for an hour-long interview with Iraq's president, Saddam Hussein. Months earlier, on 2 August 1990, Saddam had sent Iraqi tanks across the border into Kuwait, subjected the country to a brutal military occupation, and declared Kuwait to be the 19th province of Iraq. The invasion of Kuwait was immediately met with international condemnation. King Fahd of Saudi Arabia, neighbouring Iraq and Kuwait, invited the US to station troops in the kingdom to protect against an Iraqi invasion. US President George HW Bush and British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher responded by deploying troops to Saudi Arabia and urging other countries to follow suit. Within weeks, a US-led coalition of 35 countries was amassing military forces in the region in an operation named Desert Shield, while the United Nations was issuing resolutions calling for Iraq's withdrawal. At the time of Trevor McDonald's interview with Saddam, the Arabian peninsular was witnessing the build-up of the largest military alliance that had been formed since the Second World War.
In his interview, Saddam blamed the Kuwaiti royal family for the invasion, accusing them of conspiring against Iraq. Rejecting the idea that the international community was united in condemnation, Saddam denounced the US and the UK as aggressors who had goaded the United Nations Security Council into making "hasty resolutions" against Iraq. The Iraqi leader accused the United Nations of double standards, alleging inaction over the issue of Israel and Palestine, and accusing the US of conspiring against the Palestinians. When questioned by Trevor McDonald about reports of atrocities against Kuwaiti civilians, Saddam said he had heard nothing of such reports and stated they were probably false. He ended the interview by reasserting that Iraq was opposed not by a unified coalition but by the US and the UK, who had conspired with each other to bully and threaten the rest of the world into supporting their invasion of sacred Muslim lands.
Trevor McDonald's interview with Saddam Hussein is of enormous historical significance. It was recorded in the heat of an international crisis that would culminate in the launching of Operation Desert Storm and the expulsion of Iraqi forces from Kuwait. The enmity between Saddam and the West is one that would persist until the Iraqi Ba'ath regime was toppled following the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003. And the sentiment expressed by Saddam in this 1991 interview that Britain and America were conspiring to invade Muslim nations found a receptive audience in nascent jihadi organisations in the region. When al-Qa`ida (Al Qaeda) leader Usama Bin Laden declared war on the United States nearly six years later, on 23 August 1996, he cited the continued military presence of US troops in Saudi Arabia ("the Americans Occupying the Land of the Two Holiest Sites") as his reason. In the years between the Gulf War and 9/11, the Iraqi regime was an international pariah and the subject of sanctions and weapons inspections. Only days after 11 September 2001, the Bush Administration raised Iraq as a potential target in its retaliatory War on Terror.

" is it an english thing then ? " has to be one of the most powerful response ive ever heard in my life!
That translator is incredible. Delivering and receiving the information simultaneously
for real what the hell , my man has two CPUs
His name is Sadoun al Zubaydi. He was brutally tortured by Saddam's secret police
These people are very confused about life period they worship money only
So can any one tell me what is the different between the old leaders regime and the butcher of bagdad asap possible ok . Also was healthcare free in the old leadership and was their a food program for the poor. ?
almost like its his job to
Picture quality is incredible for 1990
Straight onto CD 😉
Agreed. It was probably 480i originally. Just a good capture and deinterlace, I suppose.
nothing to do with it being the 90s
I also noticed it. Most likely Betamax Recorder. That was the best picture quality back then. Consumers could not afford it. So VHS was horrible, but affordable.

He basically ended the whole interview with the first answer .
Thanks
You’re in essence why propaganda by deflection works. lol

His career basically ended with 1991 gulf war🤣

The fact that he understands English but doesn't want to speak it.
yea i respect that. many others that refuse to kiss american ass and are fluent choose to demonstratively withhold it. e.g. saddam (as you said), putin, ghadaffi, many others..

@@Thewipah7 apparently saddam could speak in english; level of fluency being debatable.
@@daktarioskarvannederhosen2568 it is well known that saddam couldnt speak english, maybe a few words
It's like comparing a Samsung to iphone
Saddams sarcastic response to the first question is very funny made me chuckle hard lol.
He quickly turned defense into attack. Appropriate way of dealing with journalists.
Classic! Sounds like something President Trump would say! I applaud that!
it was a ridiculous opening question though
The Jews and America brought destruction to the nations of the Middle East.
Great Muslim and Arab leader.
When he is alive, people hate him. Now, he is gone, people missed him.
nobody misses the nerve-gas-dictator. halabja was the name of kurdish town, where women and children were killed with chemical weapons by saddam - dog - hussein.
speak for yourself, only evil careless murders would miss him
many of his inner circle and followers jumped ship to IS and Islamist groups very quickly. They were in every measure a terrorist state, just in smart uniforms.
I miss him. He was my best friend. We would talk for hours as we walked upon the beach. He told me about his dreams of the future. Sure it was incredibly racist and terrible, but since that point and for ever still I have respected his creativity and commitment to his ideals.
Nice lies. Stop believing western propaganda. It was evident they had agendas and their PR machines made gullible and idiots like you believe it.@@uschurch
His answer to the very first question had me laughing out loud. Had to rewatch. Lol
Juournalist:Poker face ,check mate buddy , Sadam was smart 😂😂rofl
Lol.. he got him good with that one.
That was an awesome response! Well played, President Hussein!
@@karlvonboldt How his answer was "awesome"? In which way? That Britain invaded a sovereign country? Can you give an example? Colonization wasn't invasion since it happened in a time there were very few politically recognized countries. Even China with thousands of years of history, became a modern country only relatively recently.
@@kavorka8855 The question was stating that it was so un Arab to invade another country, so Saddam responded “how is it un Arab, is it a British thing thing to do” the question itself was just so absurd! Every tribe has invaded another. It was a clever answer on Saddams part. I’m American myself, I’m of English and German Blood. Arabs have invaded other countries for over a 1000 years. The British had the largest Empire in the World. I thought Husseins response was very good!
those days when the UK thought it had some kind of moral authority are over
Im not too sure about monarchy, the government and mi6.... they geopoliotically buttfucked irak by chipping off kuwait, and apparently the arabs are not into that. The british caused a huge mess in the middle east, and only a naive kid would think that was by chance. Also im 100% convinced that the british and their fuckbuddies from the states still make the calls in germany. edit: no offense to common people.
he just explained why he invaded kuwait. because they were conspiring with the west to undermine Iraq. because of his stance on Palestine. Kuwait was drilling at an angle draining Iraqi oil illegally. They were warned many times by him
I mean it still exists as a means to justify the Anglo American banking empire enforced in the world, at least as propaganda to the western citizens - but yes we see the russian/ Chinese/Iranian world order challenging them. and of course Ukraine is the military element of that new power clash.
@@03056932 If you think the Chinese and Iranian world order is somehow superior you need to take a long hard look at yourself. How about NO world order...
@03056932R Ukrain is a pad between those different powers, but thinks that is fighting for independence.
The first response was such an ironic response typical of the English usually. He identified the fallacy in this question and responded like a true English gentleman.

Iraq was a great and respected nation under Saddam. Now it’s Iran’s backyard, unfortunately. America is to blame.
As an American I can agree. The people of America were manipulated into the Iraq war.
well no, saddam is to blame. he was an awful and brutal dictator wo attacked his neighbours.

I wouldnt say its their back yard, they couldnt even protect two of their most valued military men who got killed inside of Iraq
That's only partly true. It was 'great' and a regional power yes, but it was also incredibly brutal to some of its own people.
Destroyed the interviewer with one sentence in his first answer. Should've just mic dropped and walked away then.
These guys are always cast as monsters, and then when you see them in an interview, they seem totally competent and pragmatic.
It’s almost like he’s being interviewed on camera
Hitler was described in his private life as soft spoken and courteous his public life showed a very different person
Same with Assad, the western propaganda paints him as evil but when all of his emails were leaked the worst "dirt" they could find in any of them was him telling his wife he loved her lol

Whether you loved Saddam or hated him, what happened to his people and his country and to him personally is more than what Saddam did during his rule.
I always wonder when will those responsible in America be held accountable for the extent of the crimes they have committed in the world, just as we are being held accountable?
Just because some nations can't deal with freedom, and they fall into chaos, terrorism and religious delusions? Not saying the US did everything right, but they aren't the ones to blame.
Americans will never be held accountable, because they're the ones controlling global narrative on who is and isn't the "bad guy".
The exact number of deaths attributable to Saddam Hussein may never be known, but estimates range as high as half a million. There is evidence of more than 250 mass graves dating to his rule.
I'm sorry your people have paid such a
heavy price for living where you are but
ordinary American's are victims too of the
globalist parasites who feed off humanity
God/Allah is watching and there will be justice 🙏

Not mysterious. Just cruel.
@@tuforu4 Why?
Its not mysterious just remember these facts: 1) People are far dumber than you can imagine. 2) People are greedier than you can imagine.
The fact of the example that he mentioned about crimes which were committed by Israel (min between 15:30 - 17:00) were actually true and still.. this is the unfairness of judgment which was applied by the big powerful western countries on Arab which had been and still being refused by the Arab communities (not the loyal to west kings) - the double standard
on the other hand, Israel which has been serving their interest for a long time, has never even faced penalties, by the global community (or west) for their brutal deeds and crimes against the Palestinians for a whole century!!
And still the same story is being recounted. I don't know what to say, this man was the only president in the 20th century who was brave enough to go out and speak up for his country and what the actual intentions of the west really were..
What’s never made sense to me is when it was established that the bush jr war in Iraq was a farce why no one ever cared lol it’s like every is like ‘ohh well’

There was peace in Iraq when he was in charge. Yes there was corruption and torture of certain aspects however in the grand scheme of things Iraq was a functioning country at peace.

Have you noticed the interpreter performance ? how did feel about it ? I would be grateful if you could give me an assessment.
he did very well he struggled with certain words that dont exist in english he also tried to use the same language that saddam used which made the english very weird. certain phrases in arabic dont mean anything in english and he didnt seem to know the equivalent idiom or saying or maybe he tried to copy saddam word for word. however knowing who hes translating for and the situation itself i give him 8,9/10 hes clearly someone who studied in england but does not live in an english speaking country or if he does he hasnt lived long enough. im fluent in english and arabic and probably cant do what he did, but i can judge. job well done
how saddam was treated when he was captured in this illegal war on iraq just shows the human race has not become much more civilized since the early middle ages
Saddam was captured 13 years later in 2003, not in the Golf War 1990 when he invaded Kuwait. Btw, look up Saddam's brutal supression of the Kurds in Iraq or his equally brutal war against Iran.

Interesting historical lesson. What is know is We, the USA destroyed Iraq and the people are still suffering. As time goes on we see the corruption in the USA government. We may never know the truth of the matter. To this day you can see the arrogance in the former USA president bush and his staff.
Hopefully Iraq can recover soon and it's people live in peace. Thanks for sharing your videos. God bless 🙏
Hello borat
I think a lot of people now too late have realized, better be under the rule of a "Muslim/Arab dictator" than under the rule of the White supremacists nato/zionis ts of the world. Who can get away with anything and everything free of charges. As if they own the world.
Western governments and their brutal policies are what made the Arabs deeply hate America and Europe, especially Iraq, which was the first country in the Arab world before the American occupation and now has unfortunately become one of the backward countries. America, Britain and Europe had no intention of overthrowing Saddam, but Israel put strong pressure on America to overthrow Saddam because It constituted the greatest danger to them at that time, and it was a message to the Arab rulers that whoever was hostile to Israel would have a fate like Saddam and Gaddafi, and this is what actually happened, as the traitorous rulers of the Arab Gulf became mercenaries and servants of Israel, but the Arab peoples still maintain their firm position, which is hostility and hatred for Israel, and in the time that is coming A leader leading these angry crowds, believe me, will not show mercy to anyone because they have been subjected to terrible injustice during the past 80 years.
The greatest danger to the entire world are (the Zionist Jews of Israel). All the destruction that occurred in the world over the centuries was because of them, even the invasion of Iraq was due to pressure from them on America, and every person who is hostile to Israel will die at the hands of America.
Finally, do you know why America and Europe always stand by the Jews of Israel? Because they know that if Israel falls, the Zionist Jews will return again to Europe and America, which is what the West does not want, because this is a disaster for them. They got rid of the Zionists and established a homeland for them in Palestine to get rid of them, and they will always continue to support them so that they stay. Far from the West. In short, the West was suffering because of a dirty virus and got rid of this virus by throwing it on the Arabs and making them suffer from it until now.
America and 45 countries come to Iraq with 200 thousand soldiers, but the get out with only 30 thousand soldiers

Kuwait was not “his country”. It was someone else’s. If he had stayed out then the first Gulf War would never have happened, and neither would the invasion of 2003, most likely
Maybe if he was not so full of himself and so reckless as to play with the very security of his country based on his personal ego so many times he might have survived and the world would've been very different now.
@@MultiWalrus1 They went in because of wmd and nothing else.
@@nikolasmacedonites917 how did he play with the security of his country?
@@MultiWalrus1 as is Palestine but you support the occupation no doubt
Great interview ever❤
My god he’s talking about attacking another country. And if you are Iraqi, or just (for some reason) support saddam Hussein , remember that he is an evil man.
Amazing translation 👍🙏
The transulator is incredible. He translated arabic to English very precisely word to word and still made sense of it. Usually precise arabic to english ends up making no sense you have to change some words in english
He was not as bad as the Americans made him to be.
Was his son bad though? as in the movie devils double where he picks up and rapes a young girl?
It’s so many lies in the American history I wouldn’t be surprised
lmao he was worst, a true modern day hitler
He was pretty bad. But what succeeded him (ISIS) was even worse.
True he was the greatest president in Iraq history. Americans destroyed the country
I still remember this interview
How old are you?
@@faheedali8806 31
@@Ezel21love This interview is 33 years old.
@IndependentThought it don't think so. If you know what year it was, I would love to know.
@@independentthought3390 I think you are right. I think the Iraq tv broadcast this many times after 1990 or there is another one before the invasion.
That interpreter is top notch.
This guy is legendary✊🏼
if you're talking about Hussein the word is infamous and asshole.
He was an AhShole
Was a big difference
So is your wife.
He was a legend leader
A legendary killer as well
@@bo3azozus how did you know he was a killer? Are you from Iraq? Or do you form your opinion from media?
@@collegemathematics6698 So I need to be from Iraq to know something, You can read about the stuff he did in books.
I'm from Kuwait btw and his regime committed crimes in my country too.
@@collegemathematics6698 he kill 150.000 kurdish without reason child old young he was dictator
اسطوره 😂
20th and 21st century has taught us that the oratory of our leaders is not to be conflated with their actions. Goes for East and West.
Yanks more so.
Ah, he doesn't look to be a bad chap really.
apart from poisining and executing his own people. Seems like a solid guy lol
@@IrrationalCharm Well, yes, I know, but all round, give or take.....
@@dlondy5319 His too sons total manics Uday the worst.
I knew how this interview would go before I clicked on the video. Not in Saddam's fan club, but boy, I'd rather have him as a friend than a journalist as one.
I always liked him and even did a presentation in school to present the Iraqi side and not just the Western propaganda
SAME ONG
Lmao same, I talk about him everyday in school, whenever I do a Spanish presentation, and I finish, I always make the last slide a photo of Saddam and say "thank you".
Based boyz
@@josephgilliana7608 usually what is your classmates & teachers reactions to these presentations?
Yeah just gonna ignore the millions he oppressed and led to their deaths? I lived through and in Saddams Iraq and anyone who thinks he was a good leader is a bloody idiot
the big question is THIS !!! WHAT WAS THE ROTHCHILDS POSTION AT THIS PARTICUAR TIME ???
imagine the translator when Saddy gave him that bombastic side eyes at 1:24
Wonder what happened to the translator?
He was killed in Baghdad
My message to all Iraqi brothers and sisters ,"its hard to like him but its easy to love him" .
What if u adore him ?😕💔
@@Brucelee-pv6uf
Means you love a dictator and just like the saying goes, the cat loves it tormentor
@@omaralkayal7598 never
Sadam was nes dictaor
He refused to kneel to the f usa coverment thats all
@@Brucelee-pv6uf Then you need a psychiatrist
You do realize he killed hundreds of thousands of innocent men, woman and children, right?
What is the difference between attacking Kuwait or Iran?
Iran started that war.
وين احصل المقابلة مترجمة ؟
No tradutor do CZcams no computador você pode ouvir a tradução dublada pelo google
Non so a che livello d'inglese era Saddam a quei tempi ma sentirlo parlare nella sua lingua e stato... coool 😜...e come "sfidare" proprio i suoi interlocutori 😁 vedo un uomo che era molto "sicuro "di se...come dire: " o sei con me o ..contro di me"
he was fighting against any act of imperialism that were always formed by israel and american. the same thing that they were doing in cuba preparing their neighbours to any act of aggression that they could towards cubans by their neighbouring countries! and that led saddam to invade kuwait.
This fool fell neatly into zio conspiracy to
weaken Ummah both L & R.
Anglo American empire. Israel have simply infiltrated the power structure of the US
Saddam wanted build NUKE WEAPON.
He was actually an American puppet throughout his invasion of Iran and constantly received military and intelligence support as well as chemical weapons from the West.
He had no problem with imperialism when things were going his way.
He became anti emperialist only after he got kicked out of Kuwait by the West. He was just a ruthless player. That's all.
he was an imperialist conqueror
As Iraqi man i have to say this, he invaded Kuwait with no any legitimate reason just as U.S invaded Iraq with no any legit reason. But the different Iraqi people got sanction and 1000000 kids die as result while Bush and U.S free from any punishment from the U.N even no one can question Bush today. By the way Sadam asked U.S ambassador in Baghdad about his conflict with Kuwait few days prior to his invasion and she said we don't care about Arabic vs Arabic conflict and U.S president want a good relationship with you. What does that mean to you?
You really saying 10million kids🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦
@@syededits2545 No it is six time zeero
USA set him up😊
@@Thetruth343where did you read that about the us ambassador giving Sadam permission to invade? I feel like she must have been extremely incompetent to not verify that with her superiors
@syededits2545 with six zeros and I stand behind the statement 💯
Good video
You should be interviewing and questioning George W. Bush and questioning him.
We want justice for him
He was hanged. Rightfully so.
@@enigmaticzigfried7557 hanged by even worse criminals.
@@kuayinal-kadir6846 educate yourself. Saddam was one of the worst butchers in the Middle East. Up to 290,000 people were killed or disappeared by his Baath regime.
@@enigmaticzigfried7557 the American government is one of the most murderous entities in the world. Saddam Hussein did most of his murdering while being actively supported by the US government. So much so that the US PR firms went out to help Saddam clear his image up. The US government actively helped Saddam try and cover up the Anfal campaign by trying to blame it on Iran. The US had no Qualms with these actions until Saddam stopped following their orders. We should also mention the fact that the US military had killed far more Iraqis than Saddam ever did, and in a far shorter period of time as well.
@@enigmaticzigfried7557 there’s no proof of any of that it was all American propaganda to get his oil, USA was caught red handed stealing oil from iraq even they invaded, don’t worry we’ll take revenge 😊 we gonna fck u up so bad you’ll wish for 9/11 to be back
One thing I have learned in my Life Time, Where ever the USA go unrest and violence comes next !! 🙏🏼✌️🙏🏼
It's anti-semitic to criticize American wars.
The arabs have violence and are killing slaughtering each other from the time of their prophet till now and have no relation to usa

Wow! That openinnng question and answe
The most humble and handsome hero of the Arab world.
I wish we hadn't invade Iraq, now both my neighbors in Manchester are Iraqis, to go with the Somalians, Jamaicans and Romanians, Pakistanis, Syrians and various others from all over the world.
He didnt deserve the way he left us,rather him in charge anyday
OMG the opening answer just won my heart & mind
Who even speaks like that
so confidently
the more you look back at Saddam, the more innocent he looks in all of this.
He was tricked into believeing USA will not interfere. Brits are knee deep into this story. Kuwait being their crown jewel protectorate because of oil. There's an interesting lecture, actually a series of lectures on YT, by prof. Roy Casagranda from The Austin School where he explains British quest to obtain oil and how they found it in Kuwait.
and so incredibly brave. he knew what would happen, as he stood up against Israel and the US, for his position on and for the Palestinians.
I hope we deport you
What he did to opponents and even to national sports heroes was unimaginable. Torture, Kidnapping, Death.
@@brianrobinson8289 got proof? I"m not saying he was a saint... BUt compared to other world leaders, Like Netanyahu, he is looking pretty good
You know by the questions that Saddam Hussein understood, English pretty well and therefore did not need an interpreter
He studied in oxford
@@mikewatt8706really😂?
Even if he speaks English, Arabic is his language and the language of the nation he represented.
For every action there is a reaction. Good actions getting good reaction.
America is a truly criminal and will one day get it worth it.
ما هوا السؤال الاول ممكن ترجمة
غزو دولة مجاورة بكل تلك القوة والوحشية المخطط لها هو شيء غير عربي جدا (او بعيد عن العروبة) اليس كذلك؟
This mans only mistake was that he couldn’t do interviews in English for reaching the western audiences.
Western audience only hear what their Jewish masters tell them
assad can but the media still lied about him.
@@sareeyemanusqaame8723based... I always appreciate finding comments from folks who are aware of the real enemies.

he was a monster

He was a strict leader that knew how to handle religious fanatics ,Harshly .
Then why did so many "religious fanatics" and radical clerics emerge after him and under him?
@@hasibhakanovic6682he killed said terrorists...he's the anti virus of the middle East. But when the anti virus gets deleted from the usa. Than Iraq is screwed
What kind of translator is that wait until he finish talking
That grin on his face at the beginning lol. Made me laugh.
He had so much damn charisma. One of the most charismatic leaders the world has seen in recent history.
annexing another country is wrong and he was killed for it. going against usa is stupid. he miscalculated his plan against usa and europe. he may have thought being democracy country they will not interwene... but he forgot usa is millitary power... very powerful.
@@OmPrakashMelol you keep telling yourself that. US military is not what it used to be
feel sorry for this man. Bush and🔴 Blair need to be put on an International trial for this crime. Look at Iraq now, look how people are suffering with no hopes in the horizon. This is truly sad. I cannot believe Iraqis aren't furious about this atrocity.☑️
what would you say about Kuwait invasion ?
كيف لكم ان تعلمون لقد قمنا بثورات عديدة على الحكم الحالي ولكن قتلنا ومات الكثير جدا من الثوار بسب دعم امريكا للحكام الحالين الذين جلبتهم امريكا بعد اعدام صدام لذالك انتم لا تعلمون لان اعلامكم لا ينقل لكم جرائم دولكم
Feel sorry? The guy lived a great life while others suffered
I would feel sorry for him...but he's dead...so...back to watching Netflix
You feel sorry for the Shites in Dujail?
I'm so glad they don't use these live translators anymore. The man can't really talk seriously like this
This translation is so wrong.
