April 14, 1980 Iraqi History


US National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski allegedly meets with Saddam two months before the war, assuring Saddam that the US would not oppose intervention in Iran. [Z Magazine, 9/5/02; 1/16/1999; Worker, 9/1/02; Final Call, 10/1/02] US Secretary of State Alexander Haig would confirm in now declassified documents the following year that "President Carter gave the Iraqis a green light to launch the war against Iran." [Haig, 1981; News, 3/27/03; Magazine, 9/5/02; Final Call, 10/1/02]

Saddam invaded Iran on his own initiative because he wanted their oil reserves.

That's a laugh, he couldn't even keep his own reserves fully tapped. He was snookered by those who installed him.
