I don't deny that the US supplied arms to Iraq, but that "fact" is simply false.

The USSR was, by far, the biggest arms dealer to Iraq by a wide margin, followed by France, China and Czechoslovakia.

I apologize, the US was NOT the single greatest conventional arms supplier to Iraq. I should have clarified my statement. I thought this thread was about WMD's.

Actually those numbers were not only for conventional arms but the Iraqi military as a whole.

Yes, it's unfortunate. I've provided enough information and sources, but alas, I can't control Fez and his personal attacks.

oh well, good day, read my information and make up your own minds people... if I want insults I'll spend time with my family.

Sorry Sava, but I also provided a fair bit of information. One from FAS and that Airforce information directory.

You are useless to this debate... all the time misquoting this and that for your own little anti-american agenda.

ha! that was my plan!

under the cover of darkness, a B2 would drop a "dirsty" nuclear bomb on some discrete labratory in Iraq, and we just play it up like one of his own bombs had goen off on him.

not only do we get to nuke iraq but we would get justification for the war

[oedo]

the USA and GB have forfeited their credibility on this issue. before the war they presented fake "evidences" about WMDs. one could assume that someone, who has that detailed information about WMDs, should be able to find at least some of them after the war.
now, several weeks after the war, nothing, absolutely nothing was found. this doesn´t necessarily prove that Iraq had no WMDs, but it definetly proves that the WMD argument was completely fabricated.
for me it doesn´t really matter what they will find now. it´s irrelevant anyway and most probably a fake.

How many times have I warned you about continuing your childish little cat fight with sava... Attack the arguments, not the poster.

The next time I see you go after Sava, you are toast.

There are weapons in the hands of our enemies as well as our friends Too many weapons !,but in whose hands have we placed our integrity?The supply of weapons and the nature of these weapons as well as the lack of integrity is an insult to our basic regard for there consequence to humanity. One supplies the tools of genocide while the other builds the hatered to use them.

{There fore} Other scources of hostile cadres existed .
They were/ are recruited and trained by some official governments un -officially and by some organizations including churchs.,infuediated sultanates et,al,
1) The Arab ruling class is non-representative(Of some) of the Arab peoples’ will in cases.for organizations such as these to be able to recruit and fund cadres.{Shaw of Iran,King Faysul-II,}
Thus Anti-Western Theocrats and Tribal Sultanates rule paralell to the official government providing covert trade with undeclared nations or organized crime while recruiting members and reaping financial rescources from Black market trade in fuel ,narcotics and weaponry.

also sold and helped Iraq to integrate chemical weapons into their US-provided battle plans while fighting Iran between 1985-1988.

Actually, and I believe it was MtG who posted that the chemicals were given to Iraq for solely research purposes, in order to basically help find a cure for them. They were never intended to be for military use, but solely for civilian research purposes.
