"This could not be allowed to happen so the Reagan Administration armed and supported Iraq enough so the two nations would fight to a stalemate."

I know the history and the USA did not arm Iraq with WMDs. Ever!

That is correct. The US did not arm Iraq with WMD. The mistake we made was unwittingly send them the germs that they ended up turning into WMD, i.e. anthrax, botulinum toxin, etc.. They would have ended up getting it elsewhere, but it is what it is. We did not arm Iraq with WMD!
