The US never provided Iraq with a single WMD...period. US companies sold Iraq materials that were dual use and when the use that Iraq was applying to the dual use materials became certain such sales were forbidden but some companies continued sales through indirect means...because of greed...and when this was learned some of those companies had a price to pay. The only weapons that were supplied to Iraq was some cluster bombs and they were not supplied directly. Other than that the US assisted Iraq and Iran both with intel...as the position at that time was not to allow either country to decisively defeat the other.

Hmmm, I could have sworn I read that we provided them with the material, and the knowledge to make such weapons. I will have to research this further... I may be wrong with this one...
