years ago is not one of today.
Kyle is calm, almost enchanted by the sermon.
SADDAM (CONT’D)
This is the universal difference
between our worlds. Iraq had
recovered enough territory. If we
went deeper inside Iran we would
have lost Iraqi lives. For many of
our men it was their first combat
experience. Many began to ask,
"Why am I here?", and our leaders
felt Iran had learned their lesson.

KYLE:
But you finally had the upper hand.
SADDAM:
If a soldier does not see logic, he
will not perform as well or be
obedient. Discipline becomes a
problem. But if he accepts the
task at hand as logical, he will
stay obedient.
KYLE:
Do you see all soldiers this way?
Saddam laughs at Kyle in a way a teacher does to a student.
He’s making his point confidently.
SADDAM:
If you asked the American soldiers,
who came to look for WMD and found
none, removed my leadership and now
replaced them with other dictators,
whether they wanted to stay or go,
they would say go!
KYLE:
Let's be clear. We haven't found
them yet.
SADDAM:
(smugly)
Keep searching.
Kyle moves as if he’s stepped on a nail. For a split second
he realizes that this is going to be a very difficult task.
KYLE:
Do you think you would have lost
the war with Iran if you didn't use
chemical weapons? WMD?
SADDAM:
I do not have an answer for that --
I am not going to answer.
KYLE:
But you did use them.
SADDAM:
I will not be cornered or caught on
some technicality. It will not do
you any good.

The United States has paid dearly
for its mistakes here in Iraq and
will continue to pay...Iran did not
get the message of our powers. If
we did not break their heads, they
would not have understood.
KYLE:
chemical weapons and you used them.
SADDAM:
History is written and will not
change. No one can stop history
from being written. But let me
remind you that Iran used them at
Muhamra in '81.
KYLE:
So you used them for defensive
reasons!
SADDAM:
(to the point)
I'm not going to answer, no matter
how you put the question.
Saddam pushes back his chair. He’s exhausted.
SADDAM (CONT’D)
I am tired now.
Saddam stands up. He now towers over Kyle in a most serious
way in order to put Kyle in his place.
SADDAM (CONT’D)
For future between us remember.
(beat)
It is not fair for someone in
charge to blame others.
