Now now let's not miscast the past The Iran Iraq war was mostly a border dispute, it was not exactly an "invasion". If you recall it was over a waterway (a disputed waterway). Iraq was strongly supported by our pal Saudi Arabia, by Kuwait, by the USSR (and eventually by us). Iraq started to use nasty weapons when it looked like Iran might win the war- they weren't in use from the beginning of hostilities. So, one could argue that he used them defensively when he began to worry that he could lose the war to Iran (and this was a possibility at some points in the war). That does not make what Partytime said a lie- it makes it an evaluation of the war you disagree with (if in fact you have ever even evaluated the war. You might be disagreeing without any basis at all. Who can tell?)
