How Muhammad Ali rescued HOSTAGES from Saddam Hussein
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 жов 2024
- On August 2, 1990, Saddam Hussein's Iraq invaded neighboring Kuwait with little warning. During that time, Hussein prevented many foreigners in Iraq from leaving while also bringing foreigners captured in Kuwait to Iraq. The hostages were mostly citizens of Western countries critical of the Iraqi invasion and many worked at the Baghdad General Motors plant.
After the UN gave Hussein the January 16 deadline to pull out of Kuwait, 15 Americans were moved to strategic locations inside Iraq to be used as human shields in the event of retaliatory strikes from the multinational force that was growing larger by the day.
In October, Hussein released the foreign women and children held in Iraq. Many in the State Department feared the remaining hostages would be killed when Coalition forces engaged the Iraqis in Kuwait, either by friendly fire or by their Iraqi captors. That's when the "Greatest of All Time" stepped in the international arena.

You missed a incident Robert S. Johnson one his first combat flight vs German ace Egon Mayer with 66 kills at that time in WW2
Ali also stopped a man from commiting suicide from a tower Block
And he was silent about it. Never bragged nor boasted. He is a real role model.
Another reason why he was the greatest. Proud kentuckian.
Should have left the devils.
Many places in Kentucky don’t look upon Muslims kindly lmao in fact I would say most of the state of Kentucky is like that
@@AIlSystemsGo America as whole is keeping racism alive. Nowhere else on earth has any segregation in schools and in housing.
@@TheBmxHD still one of the least racist nation on earth compared to Africa and Middle East.
@@jamesfranko1568 have you been in middle east or Africa before?
I remember that day when Mohammed Ali visited Iraq and visited our Almustansiriyah university especially department of translation... It was great honor to meet him face to face but we couldn't take any photo because of our Iraqi intelligence Agency. RIP Mohammed Ali.

Saddam Hüseyin 🦁
Not sure who would deserve the Nobel price of peace more than Ali. This guy was the greatest on and off the ring. A true inspiration to what an athlete should be like. He got involved in politics, he got involved with human rights. For ever the greatest and forever in our hearts
Ali need to get Nobel Peace Prize
I would say the other way
the nobe peave prize need muhammad ali
The media should be ashamed for mocking this great American.
Ali was not trying to bolster his popularity, the man had already reached the farthest heights of popularity.
Ali's one of the most famous people in all of human history.
The fact of the matter is this was a better option than just going in blazing and hoping for the best.
If Ali's status could help the situation, then wth not. Ali has always helped those who could not help themselves and to say otherwise is appalling.
Even with his disease and racked with pain this man still put the lives of others over his own.
We all should be feel blessed to have lived in an era to witness the greatest, *Muhammad Ali!*
There were too many real videos of this event but as i see all of them are deleted from youtube. May be because in them the Baghdad was a brilliant city. Not a garbage as recent days after "democracy" arrived there.
OF COURSE,, BAGDAD WAS A GEM CITY JUST BEFORE 1st AUGUST 1990.
I WORKED FOR IRAQI AIRWAYS.
R.I.P. SADDAM HUSSAIN
R.I.P. MOHAMMAD ALI
"MUCH LOVED FOREVER"
AMEEN.
🙏🏼❤🤲🏼❤🙌🏼❤🙏🏼🌠🌌
Muhammad Ali is an Absolute madlad for doing this
People used money to do good Ali never needed it to be who he was in and out of the Ring that is why he is the greatest. 5 losses 3 yrs out of the Ring the world against him parkinsons disease etc all challenges given by God he never gave up and fought even til his last breath. R.i.p to the people's champ.
Wow, didn't know that, badass.
Not badass just showing humanity and love....after all saddam was also a human.... What america wouldn't do having all max weapons..muhammad Ali did with love and respect... Thats the power of Peace and harmony
What a man. He had his lows but his highs lift us all. What an inspiration.
Saddam and ali 2 ICONS and Lions . ♥️

He may have dodged the draft but he sure as hell served his country in his own way.
He didn’t dodge anything, he refused and accepted consequence. If he ran to Canada he would have been a draft dodger
Didn't Dodged But Straight Up Said No
He didn’t “dodge” the draft, he openly refused to fight due to political and religious beliefs. And the Supreme Court eventually sided with him.
@@VMohdude-so hes a conscientious objector?
@@TheOneAboveAll723 correct
Saddam had great respect for Ali.
After the request, Saddam told Ali that he would never let him down.
Saddam might have been a dictator, but he had great manners
😐
He kinda did. He was very charismatic. When they captured him, he became friends with the US soldiers guarding him. When he was finally executed, some of the guards felt like they let him down. Human feelings are weird huh...
@@ETS186 Even dictators are humans, like anyone could be a dictator, lets not forget that boys.
Ali was one of the greatest men of the post WW2 world. He always wanted ppl to view Islam w/respect & also became involved in the Iran Hostage crisis in 1979/80. NY Times pushed that war & despised Ali because they feared he might stop a war before it started.
Also running out of medication was a reality for most iraqis during the 90s during the embargo placed on the country, the local pharmaceutical company was not sufficient to provide medical supplies to the entire county and the situation kept deteriorating
Who would have known, that from his humble beginnings. One of the greatest American that ever lived would rise
The true badass dude in the world Muhammad Ali ❤
Should’ve given that man the nobel peace
your reporting is World Class; thank you for the accuracythe GREATEST! LIVE ON CHAMP
Ali know’s who the real bad person was in this war...
Thank you
imagine if that was a white guy... we would be sick of movies and seasons if that mission by now....
I don’t know, they still wouldn’t want Saddam to look decent
I heard Ali singlehandedly traveled to Iraq and beat up all of Saddam's Guarda with his epic boxing skills. He challenged Saddam to a fight and defeated him with one finger, demanding his cooperation. When that was all said and done, he spared Saddam, because Ali doesn't kill... He scars.
I thought that was Chuck Norris
He had a parkison disease.
I don't like see those videos that Mohammed ali struggle walking or talking
same bro , i saw this comment just as i felt that. I idolize him so much, my heart cant take it
Ali is the king and the greatest
Ali's Parkinson's started in 76-77, and if the hostages had not been released at that time, a week later the area was bombed and they would have been killed.
Nah 76-77 He starred in the movie the greatest .He walked and talked and ran really fast .
@@RRR-is3rfdoesn't mean it didn't start. He got rabbit shot alot in 75. They wanted to end his career permanently but the problem was him running in airplane fields. The gas messed him up
Thank God for the person who stole his bike at the movies.
He was truly the greatest indeed
Saddam that's day I remember, said I won't let ali back without them
Saddam: I can't let Haji Muhammad Ali go empty handed
Snober Rana that's correct
@@rajaboxer2408
This is video
ua-cam.com/video/ZXwz1jAm4G8/v-deo.html
Also the GM joke is very distasteful, during the 1980 Baghdad was one of the most affluent and thriving cities in the middle east, previous to this importation of American cars was a common site among the higher classes in Iraqi society as it showed a sign of being well off
Please tell some stories about soviet afghan war please
You should play the recording of the meeting between Saddam and Ali. It was clear the reason for his effort to release the hostages and It was a little different than what you just stated in your video.
Muhammad Ali was the greatest, mashallah
Thx i needed that info 👍
Awesome Episode!
why bother handing over all the hostages? pretty much gave the coalition all bargaining chips away and let them invade even quicker
Saddam was a just man who was betrayed by many including the Americans
I saved a kid from falling to his death
The title is misleading the former Iraqi president stated time and time again that the hostages were taken as a precautionary measure against a targeted American attack on him during the Kuwait war.... A country the US sided with! People forget the war was primarily financial as the Kuwait, an OPEC member was selling oil at deflated prices to which led to Iraqi recession and the american intervention and global pressure was nothing but a mean to decrease the oil prices again using means of bribery and declaration of war.
Legendary Muhammad Ali.
See the “emaciated old man” in the bottom right-hand corner of the photo at 3:04 standing slightly apart from the rest of the hostages, of the 15 hostages his story would have put the lie to Saddam’s claims of how well American prisoners were treated, but unfortunately the media had started to turn on President Bush and away from anything that even hinted at the possibility of chemical weapons in Iraq. It’s unclear as to whether his release was a mistake or that his death simply would have been inconvenient for Saddam at the time. George and his wife stayed with me for a short time after his release I wish I could have recorded our conversations about his captivity. Sixty-year-old 5-mile a day jogger George Charcharis was the healthy, not emaciated, lead architect on a nearly complete Kuwait University green belt project, completion of this project would have allowed the former South Las Vegas city planner and University of Arizona Professor to retire comfortably, if only Saddam had waited a few more months. Unfortunately, the timing of the invasion, destruction of his work, and loss of the comfortable nest egg was the least of George’s problems. You see he called the US embassy and asked what to do about the evasion and was told to lay low and stay in his apartment, the result being that when the Iraqi soldiers broke into the apartment to “arrest” the former Korean war veteran and his wife they found an official looking VA ID card. Attempting to explain the unfamiliar apparently official US government ID card to Iraqi soldiers resulted in broken ribs, broken fingers, and a couple missing teeth having made “accidental contact” with a rifle butt and boots during the questioning. But there was still worse to come, George was taken to a chemical “fertilizer” factory in Iraq, where he was used as a human shield, locked alone in a steel shipping container for months. No surprise that a reporter referred to the 25-pound lighter light sensitive US citizen as an “emaciated old man” by that time he was. Broken in mind and body George was returned to Nevada where penniless, he eventually received some small compensation for the money stolen from him and his bank accounts while in captivity but before his case came before the courts President Bush signed an executive order temporarily preventing US citizens from suing Iraq, by the time it was lifted George had died, most of the records including his hospital records had unaccountably disappeared, through the efforts of his daughter and a very determined layer his sick wife was eventually awarded another very small settlement shortly before her death, and the story of George Charcharis a US citizen kidnaped, brutally beaten, arguably tortured, and used as a human shield to prevent the US from attacking a “fertilizer” factory that may or may not have produced mustard gas quietly went away.
The most selfless, courageous human being that ever lived since Jesus Christ.
The greatest of all Time!!
*Saddam should have never let the Americans go*
Nobel peace prize needs Ali
as if ali needs publicity, and if yes... so what? he still saved lives
That former seal who stepped up In Benghazi.
And Saddam told him I'm going to release them only for you not for them great respect
Saya mengagumi Saddam dan Muhammad Ali
And we’re still arguing about it who’s the greatest
What if Saddam had said No to Ali and maybe held him hostage as well... Lol
That would have been end of Saddam in hands of his own people
@@bashachand8590no it wouldn’t they don’t care about Muhammad Ali like that. Saddam should have low key kept the hostages for leverage but released them because he was a just amn
When strong disrespect each others and chickens enter the line alot of problems happen!
Saddam got Ali his medicine after hearing he needed it
Muhammet ali saddam Hüseyin 🦁 ✌️
Not dictator
Comrade saddam
happy new year guys🎊🎉
Happy New Year! Thanks for the support! 💥
Saddam wasn’t a dictator
He used chemical weapons on his own people . Hitler treated the German people better . Your right Saddam was not a Dictator . He was a Tyrant .
R RR don’t forgot that the Americans supplied him with the chemicals and yet most of the chemicals used were from Iranian soldiers he only used a very small amount to the traitors who invited the Iranians into Iraq while they then selves joined the Iranian forces and fought the Iraqis , so yeah he viewed them as traitors
R RR he brought peace and kept terrorists out of Iraq don’t speak if you did not live in Iraq at the time
R RR no u
@@rashedalsuwaidi3648 Lol WOW ! Dont pee on my leg and tell me its raining . His own people charged him with crimes against humanity and geniocide killing 50,000 civilians not America . Reported April 6 2006 : Huessein is charged with geniocide 50,000 death Bagdad , Iraq , April 4 The IRAQI court trying Saddam Huessein announced Tuesday that it chargeed him with geniocide he sought to annihilate the Kurdish people in 1988 when the military killed at least 50,000 Kurdish civilians and destroyed 2000 villages . He deserved more that the rope . They should have used mustard gas on him in a gas chamber .
just seen this on instagram
During the battle of the bulge. A German woman and her son took in lost german and American soldiers, fed them and saved them from freezing to death
wolf pack and so many children and mothers was killed in the American invasion to iraq
Believe me if it wasn't for Mohamed Ali these hostages would've been Uday Hussein's lions food 😂
My dad also did
You should do a video on the most in debt Nation
Lol :3
France ?
The only truth about the Iraq wars we know is that there is a country named Iraq
It's a disgrace to the Nobel committee that they never awarded Ali the Nobel Peace Prize. The biggest Nobel snub since Gandhi and Malcolm X.
The Nobel Peace Prize is not worthy of Muhammad Ali's mantel
Haters gonna hate
🇮🇶✌🏻🇮🇶
Ay I live from Kuwait horror time
Lol ur saying Iraq didn’t have Parkinson’s medication ??
He never needed more publicity stunt ..
Mohamad Ali has honor bigger than state and bigger than america
My uncle Art Morrison was with him on this trip.
Don't use music
I like this guy is funny 🤣🤣❤️
🐐
That's why his the greatest, And a great fighter!, shame on you Mayweather, you did nothing for mankind.
Oh look it’s a man talking
👍👍👍
Pls make a video on Indo-Pak war
Dennis Rodman could prob negotiate with Kim Ill of NK on release of any imprisoned Yankee citzns
No youre weird
Whatever happened to that kid in the Batman t-shirt that Saddam paraded in front of cameras? (Aha, found it) Stuart Lockwood, although I'm still having trouble finding a picture of him in the Batman t-shirt.
Do best tanks
MLK was a civi, and got civil rights for America. Do a story on MLK for the upcoming MLK day!
Ali never dicedided to stand to B.S. as the video says, in the contrary he went there to promote peace. You have to be very careful on how you word videos, specifically referring to a hero larger than life. Big thumbs down!
Uhhhhhh that’s false Mohammed Ali never did that
Yes in your dreams
And he was a draft dodger
He saved 15 American Human shield Hostages behind enemy lines . Tell the families of the Hostages that he is a draft dodger . Im pretty sure they would call you an idiot . Which you are . He is an not only and American hero but a world . Not only the worlds greatest celebraties and sports stars but presidents . Kings Queens heads of state even Dictators treat him like he is their hero . Heres the proof video Muhammad Ali with famous personalitys around the world . And here is proof Muhammad Ali is a hero look at Muhammad Ali the greatest walking down the streets .
Are you a soldier?
@@prepost696 No BUT I am part of the selective service system, and I would serve if called upon
Imagine fighting for a country that segregates you from white people.
Look how you have no rebuttal to these other peoples points.
Great man people champ
Thx i needed that info 👍
