But the fact remains, once he was in a position to take control of the government and it was clear that he would be friendly to US interests, they supported him. No, that is not the fact you stated. You are wrong.

Saddam was already in power and firmly entrenched before he recieved any support from the US.

The rest of your new point is stupid, obviously we didn't use him until he presented and opportunity to be used. Not that there is anything wrong with using one dictator to battle a political enemy. Where is the downside?
