Some of your links mention things that seem deliberately distorted to suggest that the US armed Iraq (for example, the Italian frigates mentioned in one article were never delivered; the Italian navy kept them. Another mentions "US designed howitzers and cluster bombs", which isn't really true; the artillery came from South Africa and the cluster munitions came from Chile, all without the support of the CIA that Cardoen claimed. When he was caught, he was convicted and went to jail; the claims of CIA support were shown to be false in a court of law).

Either the authors of these documents didn't fully investigate the facts, or they are being deliberately misleading to suggest the US is more to blame than it really is.
