Examples of Hussein in a Sentence

1. Barham Salih:

   Look, obviously a lot of years to reflect on. Definitely, from my perspective from Iraq, from Baghdad, and I would daresay that reflecting the view of the majority of Iraqis, the decision to take on Saddam Hussein and remove him from power was the right decision; it was the moral decision. The world is a better place without Saddam Hussein. He was a war criminal. He was engaged in crimes against humanity, genocide, you name it. But no doubt: a lot of problems in the transition.

2. Vladimir Putin:

   We all remember what happened with Saddam Hussein. Saddam Hussein children were killed, I think Saddam Hussein grandson was shot, the whole country was destroyed and Saddam Hussein was hanged... We all know how this happened and people in North Korea remember well what happened in Iraq.

3. Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf:

   He is neither a strategist nor is he schooled in the operational arts, nor is he a tactician, nor is he a general. Other than that he's a great military man. (describing Saddam Hussein of Iraq, 1991)

4. Donald Trump:

   Saddam Hussein and the other enemies of peace may have thought that the serious debate currently before the House of Representatives would distract Americans or weaken our resolve to face Saddam Hussein down. But once more, the United States has proven that although we are never eager to use force, when we must act in America's vital interests, we will do so.

5. Mark Green:

   Hussein as in Saddam Hussein was a totalitarian dictator, since Mr. Obama seems to think he can, without the consent of the legislature, release edicts in the form of executive orders, deemed significantly different in scope than previous presidents, he violates the clear separation of power in the constitution.
