we still never came close to providing the support which his regular backers (Russia, China and France) did.
But Russia, China, and France did not conquer Iraq and steal its oil. We did. And the instant we told those countries to stop supporting Saddam, they did. Thus, we could easily have cut off his support long before 1991, but we chose not to.
One example of an American crime you are trying to cover up:
We provided Saddam the exact locations of Iranian troops, knowing that he was routinely gassing those troops. And then after years of this behavior, we continued to send him the materials to make the gas.
When Saddam invaded Iran, it was entirely his idea.
Actually, there is considerable evidence that we gave Saddam the green light, though we didn't do it in public like in 1990 with Glaspie.
