We sold them conventional weapons - you know, tanks, rockets, etc.
It was not the US, but France and Russia that gave them the tools to go nuclear and biological - in other words to develop weapons of mass destruction.
We would not be contemplating a war in Iraq if they were only in possession of the conventional weapons we sold them.
The typical leftist cant, which you have stooped to employing here is: "We gave them weapons of mass destruction and now we're telling them they can't have them!" Which is a complete and total crock.
The best that can be said for some of the stupider leftist fellow travelers is that they don't know the facts.
But I know you do, and that's pretty sinister.
And who did they get it from??????
