SADDAM:
It works for America to a large
degree, but one party is not good
for Iraq. Multiple parties will
cause too much commotion. The
people here does not accept only
one idea. They will have to be
forced to accept it.
KYLE:
Then that would spoil the root of
the Ba'ath party. They were the
dominant ones.
SADDAM:
I wish there were political parties
other than Ba'ath. Because of you,
the only political parties in Iraq
today are the ones with the
weapons.
Kyle wants to jump down Saddam’s throat but remains calm.
KYLE:
Does a leader gain greatness
through achievement or demand
greatness through fear?
SADDAM:
Fear will not make a ruler and will
not make people love a ruler. Love
comes through communication.
People will love me more after I
pass than they do now.
Kyle looks down to keep track of his pre-interview tasks.
KYLE:
But you've suppressed them for
decades.

SADDAM:
I do not believe so. My people
love someone for what they have
done. I have done many things. I
concluded a peace agreement with
Barzani --
KYLE:
The Kurds?
SADDAM:
Yes, in ‘70. I nationalized the
Iraqi oil, supported the war
against Zionist, won the war
against Iran, survived the Gulf War
and lived through a boycott for
fourteen years. Does it still
exist?
KYLE:
No.
Saddam nods. He holds, straightening himself.
SADDAM:
Despite all these hardships endured
by the Iraq’s, one hundred percent
of the people voted for Hussein in
the last elections. They still
supported me and your government
removed me.
Saddam begins to become agitated.
KYLE:
Where did you go when hostilities
began?
SADDAM:
Why are you retracing my steps.
You got me!
Kyle feels his heartbeat in each finger.
KYLE:
(calmly)
Please, just answer.
SADDAM:
‘03...March I would say. I
remained in Baghdad until April 10
or 11, I think. Who cares.

KYLE:
You left prior to the city falling?
SADDAM:
It was a somber day.
BEGIN FLASHBACK:
INT. AL FAW PRESIDENTIAL PALACE - CONFERENCE ROOM - SAME
An elaborate room. Civilian and military dignitaries from
the upper echelon of the Iraqi government sit evenly spaced
along a large table. Others stand in grim silence along a
wall of Iraqi landscape paintings.
SUPER:
Al Faw Presidential Palace - “The Water Palace” - 23March 2003
SADDAM:
...we come here at a somber time in
our Nation's history. The evil
that is at our doorstep will
eventually turn the handle, open
the door, and enslave us...
