Even this report is overly generous to the "US armed Iraq" lie. It shows 1% of such sales coming from the U.S. Considering that there are no U.S. weapons in Iraqi inventory, they are probably counting the sale of Bell 212 / 214 helicopters, which are not only unarmed, but are not used in a military role (they were used as VIP transports). They were also sold specifically for non-military purposes, and thus should not be counted as "arms".

The real percentage for the United States should be "0%", since not a single U.S. weapon system has ever been sold to Iraq.

I've been engaging the lefties on a neutral board, mainly for the benefit of the lurkers. There was a thread going about how "U.S. provided massive amounts of military assistance and gear to Saddam." The thread had about a dozen posts on it when I posted, "Yes, that's why they have all those T-55's, T-72's, BMP's, AK-47's, RPG's, MiG's, and Mirages."

The thread pretty much ended at that point. Man, I love making lefties look stupid. If you can find a neutral forum on which to do it, it's easy and great fun.
