And you have been reading right wing bullshit.

The CIA, including both CIA Director Casey and Deputy Director Gates, knew of, approved of, and assisted in the sale of non-U.S. origin military weapons, ammunition and vehicles to Iraq.

About two of every seven licenses for the export of "dual use" technology items approved between 1985 and 1990 by the U.S. Department of Commerce "went either directly to the Iraqi armed forces, to Iraqi end-users engaged in weapons production, or to Iraqi enterprises suspected of diverting technology" to weapons of mass destruction, according to an investigation by House Banking Committee Chairman Henry B. Gonzalez. Confidential Commerce Department files also reveal that the Reagan and Bush administrations approved at least 80 direct exports to the Iraqi military.

On May 25 1994, the U.S. Senate Banking Committee released a report in which it was stated that "pathogenic (meaning 'disease producing'), toxigenic (meaning 'poisonous'), and other biological research materials were exported to Iraq pursuant to application and licensing by the U.S. Department of Commerce." It added: "These exported biological materials were not attenuated or weakened and were capable of reproduction."[28]
The report then detailed 70 shipments (including Bacillus anthracis) from the United States to Iraqi government agencies over three years, concluding "It was later learned that these microorganisms exported by the United States were identical to those the UN inspectors found and recovered from the Iraqi biological warfare program."

this thread make "iran contra" come to mind.

The only BULLSHIT that I read would be from this site and some from news papers.

Prove that the US assisted and that such an assist was needed to procure the above.

Nothing in this to prove that the US sold a single weapon to saddom.

No weapons in this. only more POLITICAL HYPERBOLE.

Please show where the US sold a single weapon to saddom. Bullshit is not going to cut it with me.

Hannity and Colmes after the Fox news Presidential Debate Ron Paul to Hannity "We sold them the weapons" Talking about the gas they used on the Kurds. Nobody denighed it we sold them the Gas.

Than prove it moron, or shut the fuck up.

Its already been proven, but if you're going to call people morons or expect to engage in an intelligent debate you really should present better spelling abilities than a 3rd grader, makes you look like a fool.

I believe, you sir, are in denial.

We sold them everything they needed to make mustered gas and VX those are simple to make we've had mustered since WWI Hitler never even used Gas in battle. But we will sell you the shit even when its agienst the law. Why would we do that?

"The US government supports terrorists dangerous regimes when it suits them. America profits from selling weapons, and then profits by charging interest on the loans which allowed the weapons to be purchased! American weapons are sometimes sold to dangerous regimes, and to both sides in some conflicts. The US government supported Iraq, now they want to disarm Iraq, but while some people make money, unfortunately many people die during both processes."

Non-Interventionalism

The reason you quit "arguing" with me was that you had no lucid arguments. All you had were old, tired out bromides, banners and slogans.
