<as well as the countries or groups that supplied Iraq with weapons components and knowledge> Wouldn't it just be easier to ask Rumsfeld what he delivered to Saddam? <Any bets on the countries that supplied Iraq with weapons components and knowledge?> United States.

<<Any bets on the countries that supplied Iraq with weapons components and knowledge?... >> One that is already known and documented - Serbia. And that relationship continued post Milosevich. Of course much of what they provided was Russian technology. And if memory serves me one of the Bosnian ministers recently resigned over a scandal about providing Iraq with weapons. ...And then there is the matter of the night vision goggles. First Russia was accused of providing them and then Syria was blamed for it. The sad truth is that the international weapons market is broad and murky and caters to anyone who has money. (Or didn't you notice that one of Saddam's caches had weapons from about 20 countries including the US?). Good luck trying to prove any kind of national complicity in that kind of environment.
