the usa gave him the wepons to kill iranians . iran had a demcractaly elected leader in the fiftys who was very populr but he wanted to nationalise it oil so the americans sent the cia over to sort him out then they put a puppet called the shah in power the people of iran revolted against him and a guy called ayatulla homeni came in to power he critised america for what it done in its country. the americans didnt like that so they gave saddam all the wepones he wanted so he can kill all the iranians for the americans.(and the iranians still want to be friends with the usa after all that) but the usa dont want to be friends they just want control over the oil because the world is at peak oil supply now.and who ever has control over oil wll have all the power .
and the uk and the usa are still supporting dictators and tortures in central asia thats where all the oil is now but afganistan was the only thing standing in its way but now that has been sorted out . why do you think the ussr was fighting over a land that has nothing but mountains and heroin? .so they can lay a pipe line to the sea .in some of countrys in central asia the goverments are blatently killing its opposion politicans and human rights actavists . i live in the uk and a lot of people are showing evidence of this to our goverment but they are brushing it aside just like they did with saddam. even the british ambasodor to uzbekistan coplaind to the uk goverment about the torture he was told to shut up and got trandferred to a nother embassy. as long as you are freindly with the usa then you can do this. and they will give you all the wepons you need to do there dirty work.

It is in the records a USA company from Florida sold the Anthrax to Iraq in the 80's, its all on the web sites this also includes most of the weapons.
Remember it was the USA that supported Iraq against the Iranians in the Iran - Iraq war.
Up until the gulf war of 1991 the major companies in Iraq were Bechtel and Lummus from the USA.
Remember the visits to Iraq of Rumsfeld and Cheyney.
They fell out as Iraq would not allow the total management control of its oil and petrochemical sector by the USA. The PC2 project.
The Iraq Minister insisted that Iraqi's must retain management control.
It has been all downhill since then.
As many smaller countries have learned you cannot say no to the USA.

The US gave him some of the building blocks for his chemical weapons that's how we knew he had them in 1990. France, the UK and all of NATO as well as the Soviet block armed Iraq with chemical weapons prior to the Iran-Iraq war. You have to remember that chemical weapons were still an option in warfare until the late 1990s for every nation and it wasn't until George H.W. Bush built the chemical weapons destruction facility after the fall of the USSR in 1989. So we know that the Iraqis used gas on the Kurds Shiites and when when we were in Desert Storm we hit a chemical Weapons storage facility which caused many vets to get Gulf war syndrome. It had nothing to do with them using it on oil rich countries.

america did make a big noise about the deaths caused by Sadam when it happened. the US did help supply Sadam with whepons. because it was in our best interests. and when it was not we had to stop him from what is becoming a very dangerious situation. If we want to live in a free world then we need to stop complaining on an imperfect US Government, they and we are not God. but we are the most Moral agent acting on the world platform at this moment. and we have a right to defend our way of life and we just happen to have the means to do it. Thank God!

America made a large contribution to Saddam arsenal.
Now we dont need him, so lets take him out and do our own thing.
BTW: where are the WMD in Iraq. Bush admitted that none were found and the intelligance community had some bad intel/info.
Lets impeach Bush and Co.

Very good question!... this was never disclosed!..no one knows but God damn Sadam. the funny thing is that they didn't even bring up this issue when he was being judged!... its said to be USA n UK n France are the ones who gave the chemical weapons to him... as i result of that millions of Iranian n Iraqis died and still getting cancer n die sadly caz of that...
anyway, God damn Sadam n whoever sold the bloody chemical weapons to him...Amen

The US gave them to him. Don't you remember the famous picture of Rumsfeld shaking his hand with a big smile on his face after they made the deal?

Actually, the United Nations, including the US and England condemned (spelling) him several times over several years.
And it's not the oil we are after...we waited until he invaded (what are you talking about here) a desert country. We are after the sand, silly!
