#2 way back in '83 - when we feared Iran overrunning the gulf. Was the policy of supporting Iraq wise - perhaps not. Did it involve shipping iraq arms - NO. Did it involve giving or selling them WMD - NO. Does it have any bearing on the current situation - NO.

#3 We did provide satellite intelligence so he could gas the Iranians--and snuff out their "human wave" attacks. But I believe that's all we've admitted to

#6 As far as past history goes between the US and Iraq, politics makes for strange bedfellows NMM; not that two wrongs make a right, mind, but it's a fact that in the real world the enemy of my enemy is my friend -- at least for a while. That's not something unique to America, the Republican Party, or anybody else for that matter.
