When Iran took americans hostage in 1979 we sure did do training with a bunch of arab countries and we handed them over a stock pile of arms too.
Chemical weapons were on the list of what we supplied due to the threat of other nations in the region having chemical weapons.
Break open your history books again you need a refresher course.

Your post is 100% incorrect...other than the fact that some Arab military personell have been trained by the US...as most friendly nations around the World have some military personell that have been trained by the US.
The only weapons that were supplied to Iraq were cluster bombs and they were not supplied directly by the US...we also sold Iraq a handful of rotary wing aircraft...but they were not gunships.
The US never supplied a single chemical weapon...period. US companies...legally...and in in some instances illegally...supplied dual use materials to Iraq and once it was learned what Iraq was using the dual use materials for...this practice was discontinued.
