Amazing. That is how Saddam Hussein was armed; with many U.S. companies involved in arming Saddam.


Yeah, we allowed Saddam to be armed when he was fighting our enemy, Iran. We also armed a lot of the people that fought us in Afghanistan, to Fight Russia.

We can't loosen controls on export of sensitive material and then smash Iraq for benefitting from it.

Sure we can. It's simple. Use the items for peaceful purposes, no problem. Use the items for warlike purposes, problem. See?
