The US linkage to the Iraq Iran war has already been posted and discussed in this very thread. Advice, Intelligence, and Loan Guarantees are the descriptions of the involvement. I’m sure that personal advice was also given, but the document only alludes to the value of this. At no point does the document say that the US provided advanced weaponry to Saddam. Fact is that the other side was using American weapons, although they were previously on hand.

Now you have stated that Saddam bought the F 1’s with the blessings of the US government. Post some supporting evidence or admit that it was a personal opinion. No one will fault you for stating your opinion, it is a right that we all have here. But we will fault you for stating opinion as fact.

To ask that I provide proof that something didn’t happen is ridiculous. What evidence would there be of a non event.
