A bit hypocritical to denounce him now for things he did when the US supported him in his war with Iran. How so? Would you maintain either that international relationships, once made, be kept free of scrutiny regardless of changing circumstances...and/or that politics (like life in general) do[es]n't sometimes involve choosing the least of what are only bad choices in a given situation?

Let's not let the chest-thumping chickenhawks forget that Saddam's weapons were largely provided by the U.S. and UK in the 1980's. When Saddam's scientists couldn't solve some technical problems, they had nearly full access to our national labs to help solve the problems. Sandia, Livermore and Los Alamos all contributed to Saddam's effort. And the capper, for the biowarfare section, is that Saddam had ready access to every dirty bug in the American Culture Collection. The Reagan-Bush team created Franken-saddam and they want to kill him off now that he's no longer politically expedient. If I were Saddam's p.r. flak, I'd be doing my best to get the word out on U.S. betrayal. The American public can relate, in its inimitably dim witted way, to view the Bushies and Saddam as a classic Frankie and Johnnie story. He was her man, but he done her wrong.
