During the Cold War, United States export policy focused primarily on restricting the export of sensitive "dual use" materials and technologies to the Soviet Union and its allies. This myopic approach to the non-proliferation of these materials ultimately resulted in the acquisition of unconventional weapons and missile-system technologies by several "pariah nations" with aggressive military agendas. For the United States, the reality of the dangers associated with these types of policies were realized during the Persian Gulf War. Recognizing the shortcomings of existing policies, and with the dissolution of the Soviet empire, an inquiry was initiated by the Committee into the contributions that exports from the United States played in the weapons of mass destruction programs that have flourished under the direction of Iraqi President Saddam HusseinThere were dual use chemicals shared between nations, until we realized some nations were making evil uses of these chemicals. Nowhere in this article does it state we gave WMD to Saddam Hussein to use against Iran.
I've waited around for you to prove your case and you've failed twice.
Failed? I have failed twice? I could easily take up Jim's HDDs to prove my point of view; it is obvious you either can not read or you can not accept the fact that America is involved in ALL this chaos around the world because of government intrusion cloaked in "National Security."
Harry Truman did a bad thing when he signed the NSA back in 1947 .... he basically gave the CIA the means to screw all Americans and the world.
Nowhere in this article does it state we gave WMD to Saddam Hussein to use against Iran. How about this article . ….
With Baghdad having survived combat against Iran's revolutionary regime with U.S. help, President George H.W. Bush signed National Security Directive 26 on Oct. 2, 1989. Classified ''secret'' but recently declassified, it said: ''Normal relations between the United States and Iraq would serve our longer-term interests and promote stability in both the Gulf and the Middle East. The United States government should propose economic and political incentives for Iraq to moderate its behavior and to increase our influence with Iraq.''
Bush the elder, who said recently that he ''hates'' Saddam, saw no reason then to oust the Iraqi dictator. On the contrary, the government's approval of exporting microorganisms to Iraq coincided with the Bush administration's decision to save Saddam from defeat by the Iranian mullahs.
