Sadly, we did worse. We sold Saddam the technology to do so on his own. Then helped him with technical expertise and know how to develop these very chemical and biological weapons. We even helped him jump start his nuclear program in the same manner. This was during the "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" love affair with Saddam. I guess it all made sense........at the time. :( -- toby10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54678 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
