George Bush says the war was about weapons of mass destruction in the
hands of Saddam Hussein who he says is an "evil" man, but if he was soooo
evil why didn't the U.S. object to his use of chemical agents against the
Iranians and why did the U.S. provide him with precursor chemicals and
other equipment enabling Saddam to use mustard gas and tabun against Iran?
"For two years of Iraqi chemical warfare use, the UN Security Council
did not criticize Iraq by name; later the United States made clear that it
would oppose any Council action against Iraq." [Reference: R.P.H.King,
"The United Nations and the Iran-Iraq War, 1980-1986," in Brian Urquhart
and Gary Sick, eds., "The United Nations and the Iran-Iraq War, NY, Ford
Foundation, Aug 1987, pp 19-20 -- also Elaine Sciolino, "How the U.S. Cast
Off Neutrality in Gulf War, NYT, 24 Ap, 1988, p 2e. - and see: Stephen
