Then Pollack must have missed the two reports I have posted the links to. No, I don't think so. There is basically only one report that says the US sold VX to Saddam, and that's the one from the Glasgow Sunday Herald, which has ricocheted around the echo chamber of the Internet. Though this report claims to quote the Senate Banking Committee as its source, I can find no confirmation in the Senate Banking Committee testimony. The committee only noted all the biological stuff that that US companies sold Iraq - bacteria and viruses, not weaponized agents. So I think Pollack ignored it because it was wrong. There was after all a lot of Congressional pressure on the Reagan administration not to sell nasty stuff to Iraq, though Reagan didn't much care about it.
