Truly doubt that many people in the PFLP think Saddam was anything other than a jumped up capitalist thug. The PFLP was founded, after all, to overthrow criminals like Saddam. Think that the PFLP is trapped into making these pathetic tactical statements because the Palestinian people as a whole had a popular alliance with Saddam's regime. Which gave tens of thousands of Palestinian refugees residency, jobs, financial aid. His regime also opposed the pro-American path of "peace" with Zionism and becoming allies of Israel. Think that the point here isn't that the PFLP believes in these ridiculous statements, but how the PFLP has lost its way politically in all the retreats & defeats for its movement. Not an easy situation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
