American companies sold Iraq dual use materials that Iraq sometimes converted into the production of weapons. When this practice was learned by the US government...companies were proscribed from selling said dual use materials. Iraq was armed by Russia...and to a lesser extent France and Germany.

Pay close attention to what I typed, we financed the weapons that Iraq got, that does not mean they bought them directly through the US because that would have been too obvious but we didi finance them and did supply some things such as Anthrax and a few other agents. There's no doubt about that.
