Was Saddam Hussein tortured before death?
Answer 1I think he was by the shady organisation called the CIA, who's actions are made legal by a pariah state USA and anywhere else they're actions would be considered terrorism!
Answer 2
While the CIA has certainly tortured numerous people during the Iraq War, Saddam Hussein was treated relatively humanely all the way up to his hanging. Of course, this is an insult to the thousands of people he had barbarically murdered during his "presidency", many of whom would have liked to see him squeal.
In 1990 Saddam Hussein had the capability to control how much of the world's oil?
Roughly 10% of the world's known oil reserves. Saddam controlled Iraq, an oil rich nation. Iran holds another large portion.
If we truly wanted energy independence we would use the largest reserves known to man. The Green Valley reserve which covers Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico holds far more oil then the entire middle east. We know that 4 trillion barrels alone are in this reserve. We have another reserve in the United States that covers North Dakota which, while not as large has more oil then all the middle east also.
The issue is twofold though. One the left extreme wants us to leave the land natural and the right would rather use the cheaper oil in the Middle East. If we really wanted energy independence, this oil would be used as we speak.
How did the US find out that Saddam Hussein was buying a lot of uranium?
Iraq imported only non important quantities of uranium; also the technology was at the beginning. A specific US fraud.
What could Saddam Hussein had done better to win the 1990-1991 Gulf War?
The simple answer would be not to have attempted an invasion of Iran in September of 1980. This resulted in a costly war between the two, which lasted for eight years, cost both countries vast amounts of money and resources, and left the Iraqi military reeling from losses which it was a long way from recovering from in 1990.
This would also have alleviated the reason Saddam launched an invasion of Kuwait, which in turn could've prevented both the Persian Gulf war and the ongoing war in Iraq.

Saddam Hussein officially identified as a Secularist of the Ba'athist Movement.

Of course, Saddam Hussein did not permit many of the freedoms upon which the Ba'athist Party was originally formed. During his regime, he implemented a much more typically Fascist governing style, supporting private industry, quashing minority groups and dissenters, and waging wars of expansion.

A former Iraqi diplomat living in exile summed up Saddam's rule in one sentence: "Saddam is a dictator who is ready to sacrifice his country, just so long as he can remain on his throne in Baghdad." Few Iraqis would disagree with this. Although none living in Iraq would dare to say so publicly.
