December 1982. Hughes Aircraft ships 60 Defender helicopters to Iraq.
October 1983. The Reagan Administration begins secretly allowing Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Egypt to transfer United States weapons, including Howitzers, Huey helicopters, and bombs to Iraq. These shipments violated the Arms Export Control Act.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Now I have to ask May, on more than one occasion you have dismissed my points (which is fine by me), which I have provided links to articles, without presenting anything yourself to the contrary. You merely dismiss them as "spin" and/or propaganda. I have as of yet witnessed you post a link to a counterpoint. Do you have any "proof" to the contrary other than your word?
