The US did not supply Saddam with WMD's or any other weapons other than...at one point they were sold a handful of rotary wing aircraft and I think some cluster bombs during the Iran/Iraq war and they were not provided directly by the US.. The US did not put Saddam in power...nor did they provide him with power other than assisting with intel during the Iran/Iraq war...and the US did the same for Iran.

"Publicly, the United States maintained neutrality during the eight-year Iran-Iraq war, which began in 1980. Privately, however, the administrations of Reagan and George H.W. Bush sold military goods to Iraq, including poisonous chemicals and deadly biological agents, worked to stop the flow of weapons to Iran, and undertook discreet diplomatic initiatives, such as the two Rumsfeld trips to Baghdad, to improve relations with Hussein."
Washington post must be lying huh?
