[Yurt]

only a moron would claim victory after providing a 1983 picture to prove a point about a 1988 incident.

and talk about word games....you absolutely played word games with my response. but you're right danny, you're always right....

sorry emmett for calling him a moron, but saying so to danny is not an insult, it is simply a factual statement. i apologize to emmett for being tacky.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but it is true...

<blockquote>A 1994 US Senate report revealed that US companies were licenced by the commerce department to export a "witch's brew" of biological and chemical materials, including bacillus anthracis (which causes anthrax) and clostridium botulinum (the source of botulism). The American Type Culture Collection made 70 shipments of the anthrax bug and other pathogenic agents.

The report also noted that US exports to Iraq included the precursors to chemical warfare agents, plans for chemical and biological warfare facilities and chemical warhead filling equipment. US firms supplied advanced and specialised computers, lasers, testing and analysing equipment. Among the better-known companies were Hewlett Packard, Unisys, Data General and Honeywell. - <a href=http://www.counterpunch.org/dixon06172004.html>Norm Dixon</a></blockquote>

so the US sent a rep over to shake saddam's hand AFTER he gassed the kurds bully?

that is the statement and that is what we are talking about....and you believe that the US sent a rep over to give congrats to saddam for the gassing...isn't that right bully

so the US sent a rep over to shake saddam's hand AFTER he gassed the kurds bully?

yes, already proven above.

and you believe that the US sent a rep over to give congrats to saddam for the gassing...isn't that right bully

Strawman argument. Nobody made the claim we congratulated them for the gassing. We did however fail to condemn it, and sought good relations with Iraq despite it, and provided the materials to make the weapons in the first place.

THAT is the point you keep trying to avoid.

i could debate you on your on strawman argument alone, but, unnecessary as you already prove yourself wrong with your first sentence....



don't be so cocky danny. you are not always right. it is a folly to think you are. maybe you will learn that lesson, maybe you won't. not my problem or worry.
