I don't think he was controlled. That's why the deep state sent the military in twice because Saddam was a tough guy and he wasn't playing ball. They tried to bribe him, he was having none of it, they tried to assassinate him, they failed, the last resort is to send in the big guns.

Maybe a long time ago when it suited him against Iran, yes,

but read John Perkins - Economic Hitman for all the details. Good book

Saddam Hussein was on the CIA payroll. For many years he was carrying out CIA policy. After being well supplied militarily by the US, he waged war against Iran. This war was at the behest of the USA.

Hussein started to get in trouble when Israel accused him of trying to get the nuclear bomb. This allegation was fueled by the Russian contracted nuclear reactor being built In Iraq. Israel opposed the reactor deal and was very vocal about it. Israel bombed and destroyed the reactor before it was ever operational. After this, Hussein often criticized Israel as a rogue state. Next, it was Hussein's decision to sell Iraqi oil in Euros instead of accepting US dollars. This ruffled some feathers back in Washington DC. Hussein's handlers were starting to question his loyalty. Then, Hussein discovered that Kuwait was stealing Iraqi oil by horizontally drilling into Iraqi oil fields in Iraq. No resolution was reached with Kuwait, so Iraq invaded Kuwait. This act was initially approved by Donald Rumsfield, but it was a lie and gave reason for the USA, at the urging of Israel, to attack Iraq.
