You didn't prove ANY of those things. You just repeated leftwing lies.

The WMD's Saddam is known to have used against Iran and the Kurds were mustard gas and nerve gas ie chemical weapons. NOT bio-weapons. Although he had a bio weapons program he apparently didn't use them.

Those tissue samples Iraq bought from American labs (anthrax, W Nile virus, botulism) weren't sold under Reagan's order. They didn't need Presidential approval. They were sold under WHO and UN treaties for vaccine research purposes. Believe it or not, at the time this was actually routine:

... the non-profit American Type Culture Collection and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control sold or sent biological samples to Iraq up until 1989, which Iraq claimed to need for medical research. These materials included anthrax, West Nile virus and botulism, as well as Brucella melitensis, and Clostridium perfringens. Some of these materials were used for Iraq's biological weapons research program, while others were used for vaccine development. [4] In delivering these materials "The CDC was abiding by World Health Organization guidelines that encouraged the free exchange of biological samples among medical researchers..." according to Thomas Monath, CDC lab director. It was a request "which we were obligated to fulfill," as described in WHO and UN treaties.
