President-elect Donald Trump once praised the late Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein for his prowess at killing terrorists — and now Saddam’s daughter is returning the favor with compliments of her own.

CNN reports that Raghad Saddam Hussein has been pleased so far with what she’s seen from the president-elect, who during the campaign trail falsely claimed that he had been against the Iraq War from the very beginning.

“This man has just arrived to the leadership… but from what is apparent, this man has a high level of political sensibility, that is vastly different than the one who preceded him,” she said in an interview with CNN. “He exposed the mistakes of the others, specifically in terms of Iraq, which means he is very aware of the mistakes made in Iraq and what happened to my father.”

Raghad also shared Trump’s view that her father was very tough on terrorists, and said that there’s no way that groups like Islamic State would have been able to set up shop in Iraq if he were still in power. “Yes, there was brutality, sometimes a lot of it and I can’t support brutality,” she explained. “But Iraq is a country that is difficult to rule and it’s only now that people are realizing it.”

....."Interpol announced that it had circulated an arrest warrant for Raghad, on suspicions that she and her aides had been assisting the Insurgency in Iraq.[4] These suspicions were reflected in an August 2014 article in Spiegel Online, which proposed the title "Terror Godmother".[5] The article reports that, while living in opulence in Jordan, her fortune in the double-digit millions is used to support the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, with the ultimate goal of returning to avenging power in Baghdad. Earlier in June, Fox News Channel had quoted such an intention expressed in an interview given by Raghad."
