Hi Maurice Winn; Re: "Perhaps the USA supplies were paid for in oil so no debts resulted ..."

Not the case. The Reagan administration (if my memory serves me correct) loaned Iraq big time money during the Iran / Iraq war in the form of agricultural credits. Those debts are still unpaid and make up part of Iraq's massive foreign debt.
