Are we rewriting history here?

Saddam was a de facto US ally till 1988. The relationship ended with the end of their mutual interests.

US sent terrorism suspects to Bashar regime to be tortured after 9/11.

Yeah eventually both relationships fell out but all the vile things both did happened under US watch, and US only stepped in when political/economic clash happened.
