Bill Clinton Has a Few things to Say

[Fairweather]

I (surprisingly) agree with what you're trying to say. But this might partially explain. Iraqi attack on USS Stark, 1987. French-made missile. 37(?) dead.

I remember that incident, but I thought I remember that was considered an accident?

 

I assume you mean that this would be why Rumsfeld would have been meeting with Saddam?

 

In any case... I find it completely easy to see how we could have supplied Saddam with loads of weapons to use on the Iranians given that Iran was, at the time, the enemy of the day. And also, covertly or otherwise, stood by while American companies peddling nasty chemicals sold them to Saddam.(As if the US Government was unaware this was going on? Come on...). I'm sure that no one at the time foresaw the events of today- but they should have. You roll around with a skunk what do you end up smelling like? And today, well, it's understandably embarrassing and shameful; and it exposes the hypocracy of the politics of convenience.
