He sent his best aircraft--MiG-29s, Su-27s, and Su-24s--to Iran.
By the way...just where do you think al-Qaeda got the anthrax from? Bob's 99-Cent Store?
Well, according to information released to the public at the time of the incidents, it most likely came from one of the hundreds of labs in the US that works with Anthrax.
Yes, his best aircraft, which are useless when put up against F-16's, F-14's, or F-18's. By modern standards obsolete.
Even still, it is a false analogy. Saddam sent them to Iran because he knew that the US airforce would utterly destroy them. If Iran had them, at least there was a chance that he might get them back later. Plus they did not strengthen Iran by all that much. Iran already had a better airforce, equipped with US planes purchased during the time of the Shah. Finally, Iran knows Iraq has WMD, so an attack from Iran is unlikely in any event. Giving weapons to Al Qaeda is in no way comparable.
