The reality:
http://www.sundayherald.com/27572
"How did Iraq get its weapons? We sold them"
http://www.lizmichael.com/weapons.htm
"List of US businesses that sold weapons to Saddam Hussein"
And
http://www.progressive.org/0901/anth0498.html
"Anthrax for Export"
"Most Americans listening to the President did not know that the United States
supplied Iraq with much of the raw material for
creating a chemical and biological warfare program. Nor did the media report
that U.S. companies sold Iraq more than $1 billion
worth of the components needed to build nuclear weapons and diverse types of
missiles, including the infamous Scud.
"When Iraq engaged in chemical and biological warfare in the 1980s, barely a
peep of moral outrage could be heard from Washington,
as it kept supplying Saddam with the materials he needed to build weapons."
This continues the usual pattern. At the height of the Indonesian genocide
in East Timor in the late 1970s, the US stepped up arms sales to Indonesia.
