WMD Ok by US

I spent a lot of time in a Middle East chat room in order to find out why they have such strong dislike and mistrust of the USA. Watching the President express his deep concern and disdain over Syria’s use of chemical weapons is a case in point. Recall that the US along with a dozen other countries gave chemical weapons to Saddam and we stood by when he used them against Iran and against his own people the Kurds. In one Kurdish city 5,000 were killed and 7,000 injured in a chemical attack. As Washington ponders over whether to hammer Damascus over unidentified use of toxic agents in Syria, declassified CIA documents reveal that 25 years ago the US actually indulged ruthless Saddam Hussein to use chemical warfare gases in war with Iran. The recently declassified documents at the National Archives in College Park, Maryland, suggest that the US was closely following the use of chemical weapons by the Saddam Hussein’s regime both against the enemy in the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988) and against Iraq’s Kurdish population, reports Foreign Policy magazine.
