DONALD TRUMP PRAISES SADDAM HUSSEIN AS… A TERRORIST FIGHTER? WAIT, WHAT? Saddam Hussein paid the families of Palestinian suicide bombers. This is known.
A decade ago, the late Christopher Hitchens asked Ron Reagan (the former president’s dilettante socialist son), “Have you ever heard of Abu Nidal, the most wanted man in the world, who was sheltered in Baghdad…When I went to interview Abu Nidal, then the most wanted terrorist in the world, in Baghdad, he was operating out of an Iraqi government office. He was an arm of the Iraqi State, while being the most wanted man in the world. The same is true of the shelter and safe house offered by the Iraqi government, to the murderers of Leon Klinghoffer, and to Mr. Yassin, who mixed the chemicals for the World Trade Center bombing in 1993. How can you know so little about this, and be occupying a chair at the time that you do?”
That same question that Hitch asked Ron could — and should — be asked to Don as well.
