While the incident was widely reported in the press, it was rarely mentioned that the technology used to increase the range of the missile that hit Israel, and to create the nerve gas that was apparently carried inside, was supplied to Iraq by U.S. and western corporations. Likewise, when U.S.-led allied forces bombed more than 30 chemical and biological weapons facilities during the 1991 war with Iraq, much of the deadly toxins that were released into the upper atmosphere, only to fall back down on the heads of U.S. forces, were created with the generous support of U.S. firms and America's leading politicians." This is an often reported liberal lie. The United States doesn't even manufacture these weapons for its own use (and in fact, we are trying to get rid of what we already have). It is not surprising if some raw materials that were sold to the Iraqis for other (non-weapons related, humanitarian) uses ended up being misappropriated. That's life. Your quote from an unnamed source simply furthers the liberal lies.
