So what. You specifically mentioned the US weapons found in Iraq during the
first Gulf War. I simply reminded you that those weapons were sold to Iraq
during the Iraq/Iran conflict when no trade embargo existed.


Hmm... no trade embargo against Iraq in the 1980s, yes... but wasn't
Saddam just as brutal a dictator then as he was in the 1990s? Wasn't he
trying to build atom bombs so he could launch them with Bull's orbital
super-cannon? Didn't he shoot up a U.S. Navy warship and kill a bunch of
American sailors?

You say it's perfectly OK to sell weapons to a brutal anti-US dictator
under those circumstances, even if he didn't have WMDs in 2003 or any
links to Al-Queda?
