rrman,

Just what did the Iraqis receive from the US??

There was a certain amount of intelligence sharing on Iranian operations, but I certainly didn't see our boys going up against American equipment.

Iraqi equipment was predominantly Soviet, French, and those fine S. African howitzers.

Could you specifically identify exactly what aid you claim the US provided Saddam Hussein and what restrictions or "strings" were attached?

You can't? I didn't think so.

But it does beg the question as to why you aren't venting at the French for providing nuclear weapons technology to the Iraqis.

Hmmm.... Again, Iraq is an example where there is more than enough blame to go around.

Regards,

Ron
