Fellas:
read this ENTIRE report then please tell me the US did not SUPPORT saddam hussien for over 20 plus years & why didnt we care about their use of chemical weapons during the Iran Iraq war ??????
note how many times in this report they speak of bending the rules on supporting countries that used chemical weapons / and what were they trying to protect so feverishly
OIL export in the pursian gulf !!!!!!
now please dont tell me this is only about freeing an oppressed nation !!
