>the United States adopted a policy of providing support to Iraq in the form of several billion dollars' worth of economic aid, dual-use technology, intelligence sharing (e.g., IMINT), and special operations training.[2]
>This U.S. support, along with support from most of the Arab world, proved vital in helping Iraq sustain military operations against Iran.[3]
>The documented sale of dual-use technology, with one notable example being Iraq's acquisition of 45 Bell helicopters in 1985,[4][5] was effectively a workaround for a ban on direct arms transfers; U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East dictated that Iraq was a state sponsor of terrorism because of the Iraqi government's historical ties with groups like the Palestinian Liberation Front and the Abu Nidal Organization, among others.[6]
>However, this designation was removed in 1982 to facilitate broader support for the Iraqis as the conflict dragged on in Iran's favour.
Billions. Actually, I'll correct myself again. Conveniently, Saddam was supplied with US-made weapons, such as those nifty MK-84 bombs. They simply happened to be trafficked to Iraq by Saudi Arabia. How convenient, that some friendly middleman happened to hold onto them for a passing second.
Next, beneath the skies of God, I suppose you are going to continue your merry melody by denying the favors done in support of the accursed Khmer Rogue? Such as, alongside China, aiding them in keeping the Cambodian UN seat until 1993. This, in spite of Pol Pot, that vile man of ill renown and his blood-soaked cronies having been pushed out of power by the Vietnamese a dozen-plus-two years earlier, in 1979. In spite of the peace accords of 1991.
Wild fantasies are best left to books and children.
