YEAH, and u can bet ur a** he had em when he was allied with american before kuwait, and you can bet ur a** his worst atrocities were committed when he was an ally with america, and YOU CAN BET UR A** he was a waste of time i mean he did deserve to die but there are other REAL terrorists that we couldve been hunting down... If Saddam was such a good buddy of the US before Kuwait, why did he invade Kuwait with all of those Soviet tanks, trucks, and guns?
Our guys were facing AK's in Desert Storm, not M-16's.
For the last thirty years, almost all of Saddams weapons have been supplied by the Soviets/Russians or the (ahem) French.
Usually when we have an ally, we sell them weapons. The Soviets were not in the business of selling weapons to our allies.
Quite so. The American weapons (assault rifles, portable missiles, etc) ended up in the hands of the Islamic Iranian Republic's army, not in Iraq.
