Hello Occhidiangela,
Perhaps you should check some history yourself, before calling things garbage.
Hussein joined the Baath party in 1956, and the Baath party took control of Iraq in 1963, with the support of the CIA (because the Baath murdered communists on request, without questions asked). At that time, Hussein was about 20-25 years old, so I don't think he had ties with the USSR before that.
