Yeah, because as the owner as a baseball team at the time there was a lot he could do. Wow, a real example of liberal revisionist history, right here. What will the blame on Bush next?
Who gave "saddam" these weapons exactly?
Actually, France, Russia, and China. Since 1960 they accounted for over 85% of the arms sales to Iraq. Saddam was put in power with Chriac's help and they had been close friends over the years, even during the first Gulf War.
The US comes in dead last on the list of contributors, at less than .1% of arms sales. In terms of biological agents, I believe we sold him research grade anthrax - he was the one who decided to make a bio weapons program with it. The sale of research grade anthrax is not all that rare, Universities traffic in it all of the time.
Place the blame where it lies. If the US had armed him he would have had US tanks, US guns, and US missiles, not Russian and French crap.
