    I'm sorry you don't like the fact your claims are wrong, but a fact it remains.

    I'm still a male 6 ft 4 and you are still splitting hairs. Point is without Reagan Saddam wouldn't have been able to gas millions of Iranians. And the Kurds

    I'll go with all the law enforcement and respected journalists in the world. You go with Rupert Murdoch and Rush Limbaugh, and their ridiculous propaganda machine and their bologna conspiracy theories and misinformation phony scandals that go nowhere in the real world.

    Generally, we have gone to other countries to STOP them being taken over and made part of an aggressor nation's territory or the being the subjects of absolute dictatorships. I agree that we have interfered when we should have stayed home- but unlike most, we don't do this to own real estate or people. The Russians do. The conditions are not the same.

    Says she who continues to claim that Reagan gave chemical and biological weapons to Iraq, even when the sources she uses to prove her claim say otherwise.

    So you would SELECTIVELY pick the few that agree with you and call them all the law enforcement in the world...
    And "Respected Journalists?" Again, that means the one's who agree with you.

    It's like you are behind a glass wall, thinking nobody will see what you don't want to see.

    Saddam Hussein did not gas "millions of Iranians and Kurds".

    IIRC the total number killed by Iraq in chemical weapons attacks was only around 5,000.

    Gee, what you say is complete crap.

    "O’Donnell cited a 2002 Washington Post article by Michael Dodd that found “the administrations of Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush authorized the sale to Iraq of numerous items that had both military and civilian applications, including poisonous chemicals and deadly biological viruses, such as anthrax and bubonic plague.”

    As is widely reported, Hussein used these chemical weapons against Iranians in the Iran-Iraq war."

    That is the number of Kurds killed, which Reagan had no problem with. You need to read up on the Iran Iraq war which is basically classified in the United States. Millions and millions killed.

    Wikipedia lists slightly over one million killed in total in the Iran/Iraq War including civilians. Hardly "millions and millions".

    If you can't get a basic fact correct, none of this other garbage you've been spouting (and posting the exact same links about) can be taken seriously.

    Iraqi chemical attacks against Iran - Wikipedia
    The number of Iranians killed was reported as 150,000. The chemical attacks played an important role in Iraq's success. The chemical attacks took place until the last day of war, in August 1988. During the eight years Iran-Iraq war more than 350 large-scale gas attacks were reported in the border areas.
