Who the fuck do you think gave him the chemical weapons that he used against "his own people" (I love this line - these people were the idiots he was fighting against) - the US supplied every weapon of mass destruction he owned - go read the UN report - it details every shipment of chemical weapon we shipped to him to fight against Iran.
See - if you get rid of the BS and go right to the official sources - you sometimes can learn a thing or two instead of listening to the BS spouted here and on the media

You can espouse BS all you want...but the facts are that the US did not put Saddam in power...did not sell any weapons of any type to Iraq other than a handfull of rotary wing aircraft and the indirect sale of some cluster bombs. The US government most certainly never sold a single weapon of mass destruction to Iraq. American private enterprise did sell dual use materials that the Iraqi's weaponized. When the US government learned that the Iraq's were weaponizing weapons from dual use materials...the ordered was issued to private enterprise to cease and desist...even then a few companies continued to sell dual use materials and heads rolled when this was discovered.
