re: #338 KayInMaine

Do we really know for a fact those mass graves are from those Saddam killed himself with chemicals (that we gave him?) or could they have been from the Iran/Iraq 10 year war that resulted in a tons of Iraqis dying? I’ve never seen any evidence of the former. Just the pointing of fingers by the republicans.

We did not give Saddam chemical weapons. EVER.

We gave Saddam and whole bunch of other nations chemical precursors- qnd actually, we gave them to universities to do research on pesticides.

Saddam made the decision to use those precursors to develop WMD’s.

Our mistake was in believing engaging a beast like Saddam might be a good idea.
