Ben Stein: Iraq Better Off With Saddam

Political commentator Ben Stein said the decision to invade Iraq was a huge mistake and the U.S. was better off with Saddam Hussein in charge of the country.

In an interview with NewsMax pundit Steve Malzberg, who was filling in as host on "The Mike Gallagher Radio Show” on Salem Radio, Stein declared: "We’re losing the war. We’re three years in and things are getting worse.

"I’m positive we will leave Iraq soon,” he added, saying after the U.S. withdraws its forces "it will be a disaster.”

Stein, a former speechwriter for Presidents Nixon and Ford and a frequent contributor to the "CBS Sunday Morning News,” went on to castigate the Bush administration for its invasion of Iraq: ”I’ve never seen a foreign policy mistake quite this bad. [Bush] just made a terrible mistake.
