The US government never supplied any weapons of war to Iraq at any point in time. American corporations did supply legal as well as illegal materials to Iraq...but no US weapons were ever supllied to Iraq. Most of the materials supplied to Iraq by private enterprise was dual use materials and Iraq chose to convert some of the dual use materials into weapons. When the US government learned about what Iraq was doing with some of the materials, certain materials were banned from sale by private enterprise. Even after the ban some companies still sold proscribed materials and they paid a consequence. Not ever did Iraq have US made war planes, tanks, personell carriers, artilllary, mortars, rockets, small arms, or ammunition etc.
