Spin: That is the second or third time you have accused me of "making something up." Whenever I do cite a web site or book source you say nothing. Whenever I post something from hearsay, or from something I read at one point, or just something I believe in, I can't cite it. Instead of claiming I am making it up, why not just challenge it?
Henry, you just stated that I “say nothing” when you site a book and I don’t challenge it. Sorry Henry, the below post from October 5, 2004, at 11:41 PM is proof that I have challenged your sources. You remember, don’t you, you stated the Iraqi’s didn’t get chemical weapons material from the US, that were used in the 1988 attacks against the Kurds, your source was from 1984? (how Orwellian), my source, with link, disproved your argument.

I dug out a Book titled The Middle East: Ninth Edition congressional Quarterly (2000) and started skimimg the chronolgy in the back and here is what I found:
March 5, 1984: The United States accusses and condemns Iraq of using chemical weapons in its war against Iran. The Red Cross (March7) supports the US claim after examing Iranian victims.
Henry, March 5, 1984?? Iraq gassed the Kurds in March 1988. The chemicals we sold them were used against the Kurds in 1988. Better go back and recheck your sources. Maybe this will help:
How America armed Iraq
UNDER the successive presidencies of Ronald Reagan and George Bush, the USA sold nuclear, chemical and biological weapons technology to Saddam Hussein.
