A board search? I'm not interested in previous posts you've made about the US not giving Iraq weapons.

Is black white today??? :-)
Any person who claims that "the US not giving Iraq weapons" is clearly insane or in some dream world.
The US not only gave Iraq .. in particular Hussein, weapons, but also recognized this man to be a thug many years past. They then proceeded to engage him as an assasin (seems "terrorists" were OK then when it suited!) and put him up for eight months in a hotel in London while they jointly developed the "conspiracy" to kill an elected government member in Iran. Saddam succeeded and was then provided with arms/chem weapons by the US to engage in a war with Iran.
This is not contested by the US government, but I'm sure the version that would come out of the current Admin would say something like "We never did that! It's not true!" :-)
The problem then with Iran was it gave other elements an opportunity to grab power and this remains the status quo today - not exactly what was intended by the US. Another fuck up....
