That is correct. There was also a private company involved, but I forget the name.
The guy who did supply Saddam with the pecursors for Saddam’s WMD used against the Kurds and Iran was prosecuted back in 2005. And yes, he bought some of those precursors from the USA, but that in no way was the USA giving Saddam WMDs as many here at FR think as do most liberals swear to.
“Man who supplied Saddam’s chemicals guilty of war crime”
December 24, 2005
“A DUTCH businessman was found guilty of war crimes and sentenced to 15 years in prison yesterday for helping Saddam Hussein to acquire the chemical weapons that he used to kill thousands of Kurdish civilians in the Iran-Iraq war.
The ruling by a court in The Hague — which could have an impact on the trial of the former Iraqi dictator in Baghdad — also said that genocide had been perpetrated against Kurds in Iraq after Saddam accused them of collaborating with Iran. “
