Did we sell them VX or did we sell them VX antidote which can be reverse engineered to produce VX

Both. See below:

It remains to be shown whether an American lab sold anything to Iraq knowing that Iraq would make weapons out of it.

And what do you think they would make with the following??? Bacillus Anthracis (cause of anthrax), Clostridium Botulinum (a source of botulinum toxin, sold to Iraq right up until 1992), Histoplasma Capsulatam (cause of a disease attacking lungs, brain, spinal cord and heart), Brucella Melitensis (a bacteria that can damage major organs), Clotsridium Perfringens (a highly toxic bacteria causing systemic illness, gas gangrene), Clostridium tetani (highly toxigenic bacteria), Escherichia Coli (E.Coli), genetic materials, human and bacterial DNA, as well as VX nerve gas, and Pralidoxine(an antidote to nerve gas which can also be reverse engineered to create actual nerve gas, sold to Iraq in March 1992, after the end of the Gulf war).

Don't tell me US thought Iraq was this wonderful medical research center on biological stuff and they would use all this for medical research. Please.
