I've read that WP article that doesn't say the same thing. U.S. Had Key Role in Iraq Buildup http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A52241-2002Dec29.html or Rumsfeld key player in Iraq http://www.msnbc.com/news/795649.asp The Saddam in Rumsfeld's Closet http://www.commondreams.org/views02/0802-01.htm http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Rumsfeld By the way in the 70's Chirac did the same with nuclear technology. Not one country selling arms is a white goose in the current widthspread of arm in the world. Hence my deep distrust of most political actors. -- Jean-Marc _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
