I checked out a lot of the references, and this seems pretty credible.
Damn hard to believe. Not that hard to believe that our government did it, but hard to believe that they could be so stupid, or naive.

And, now that I think about it, some of the weapons that were provided to Iraq were probably used in the crimes for which Hussein was hanged, which probably means that the people who gave Iraq the weapons should have some responsibility as well.

A little humorous is the fact that we supplied military assistance to Iraq pretty much right up to the point that they invaded Kuwait. Sure was nice of us. I wonder how many lives were lost because of this? Some people sure have a lot of blood on their hands.
