My math is wrong in the first post in this thread? Way to take a phrase out of context UT. Come on, at least try to follow the conversation. The first post didn't have anthing to do with number or graphs.

As for handing them the gun, yeah, we did. Here, let me point it out to you.
Quote:
The US not only helped arm Iraq with military equipment right up to the time of the Kuwait invasion in 1989, as did Germany, Britain, France, Russia and others, but also sold and helped Iraq to integrate chemical weapons into their US-provided battle plans while fighting Iran between 1985-1988.

...

Reporter Russ Baker noted, for example, that, "on July 3, 1991, the Financial Times reported that a Florida company run by an Iraqi national had produced cyanide -- some of which went to Iraq for use in chemical weapons -- and had shipped it via a CIA contractor." This was just the tip of a mountain of scandals.
But do I really need to keep pointing shit like this out? What, you're saying the US didn't arm Iraq? That's just absurd. The point is: If you sell someone a weapon, knowning what they're going to use it for, and they use it for something "evil", you're at least partially to blame.

I just can't understand why you feel the need to keep white-washing the US as you do. They're pure as the driven snow in your eyes, and for the life of me, I can't figure out why you see it that way.

Fucking-A man, spend two seconds on Google with keywords like "iraq" "weapons" "US" etc etc. It's not that hard a concept. I'm not making all this shit up.
