--- Unfortunately, wasn't it under the Reagan administration that Iraq was removed frm the terrorist-sponsoring lists, allowing dual use tech to be exported there?

The subject is about the inspections and the chemicals allowed by the U.N. during a 12 year period of disarmament. Maybe you should start a Reagan post for your subject....red herring.

Perhaps it was a necessary evil at the time, given the rise of the Iranian threat, but getting that sort of technology into Hussein's hands in the first place was not a good idea.

Want to talk 'red herring'?

When did that 12-year period end?
Why do you think it's important today?

Have a nice day.
