>>"It's just plain F**king amazing to what extent you'll go to avoid admitting outright facts, including the BLATANT LIE that we were buying SOVIET Weapons and giving them to Saddam.."<<
Ah yes, from the National Security document link, note below that Teicher said that we (the CIA) provided Iraq military hardware "compatible" with its Soviet-origin weaponry. Gee, it is not possible that the "compatible" weaponry could actually be Soviet weapons...NAAAAAH, not possible. You are such a simpleton. Read "Ghost Wars" and "Charlie Wilson's War" to see how we did it for the Afghani mujahadeen.
Btw, were the Amman bombings the "Last Throes"?
>>"Document 61: United States District Court (Florida: Southern District) Affidavit. "United States of America, Plaintiff, v. Carlos Cardoen [et al.]" [Charge that Teledyne Wah Chang Albany Illegally Provided a Proscribed Substance, Zirconium, to Cardoen Industries and to Iraq], January 31, 1995.
Former Reagan administration National Security Council staff member Howard Teicher says that after Ronald Reagan signed a national security decision directive calling for the U.S. to do whatever was necessary to prevent Iraq's defeat in the Iran-Iraq war, Director of Central Intelligence William Casey personally led efforts to ensure that Iraq had sufficient weapons, including cluster bombs, and that the U.S. provided Iraq with financial credits, intelligence, and strategic military advice. The CIA also provided Iraq, through third parties that included Israel and Egypt, with military hardware compatible with its Soviet-origin weaponry."<< |
