btw, I can't even believe that any intelligent person doesn't believe Saddam had WMD! (What did he use to kill the Kurds with??)

Funny you should bring that up. I was just taking one of your compatriots to school on that over on the other thread. What did the administration think at the time when Hussein was gassing Kurds. Hmmmmm....

When Iraq attacked Iran in 1980 over a border dispute, the United States tilted toward Saddam -- secretly supplying intelligence to hit Iranian positions.

The relationship with Iraq was severely tested after Saddam used chemical weapons against Iranian forces and even gassed rebellious Kurds in the northern part of the country.

"Congress reacted, the public reacted, and this made it all the more complicated for the United States to continue its, its secret assistance to the Iraqi military," Tyler said.

Now that was found from a CNN story. Of course the documentation and White House internal memos from the administration at the time can be found

HERE

I know how you love to use big bold letters. Of course how are you going to deny factual evidence? Oh, I'm sorry President Bush is a good, GOOD man. Yep, that'll clear it right up...

Excuse me?? George W. Bush wasn't President in 1980.........are you aware of that fact? And what difference does it make how any administration reacted to it. The facts remain the same. Saddam Hussein USED WMD.

Or did I miss something in your searing logic and exercise in irrelevance?
