Rumsfeld visited Iraq again on 24 March 1984; the same day the UN released a report that Iraq had used mustard gas and tabun nerve agent against Iranian troops.

Andy - as you well know all of the attacks you mentioned resulted in arrests and convictions except one. The one that happened 3 months before Clinton left office. Why did Dubya decide not to follow through on Clinton's promise to make those responsible pay?
But more to the point are you saying that Clinton's record against terrorism justified earlier actions by Reagan that led directly to most of the problems we are having now? Bizzare argument.

Neither gas was provided by the US. matter of fact tabun is a German gas most likely provided by Saddam's Russian friends. You have to recall we did have a bit of a grudge for the illegal occupation and imprisonment of Americans by the Iranians. Do you remember that?

Andy G, do you even have a clue about what really went on in any of those cases? It sure appears you don't, by repeating half truths parroted by all right-wing gossipers.
but to answer your questing Chi, because they were supplying the stuff, including microbes from the ATCC culture collection in illinois, that can be weaponized, dual purpose farm chemicals, and the planes to deliver them as chemical weapons despite complaints from Saddam's neighbors that he was using them as weapons.

A reminder to those who doubted the monumental conspiracy and the deep involvement in the creation of a monster (Saddam) and then fueling the inevitable civil war in IRAQ.

Simple, not saying I agree with it, but it is simple...
Iraq was an ally at the time.
Not saying it makes it OK, but that is the reason.

Why did neo lib Clintoon let OBL go
After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, which killed six and injured 1,000, President Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia, that killed five U.S. military personnel, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia, which killed 19 and injured 200 U.S. military personnel, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in Africa, which killed 224 and injured 5,000, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
After the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, which killed 17 and injured 39 U.S. sailors, Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished.
Maybe if Clinton had kept those promises, an estimated 3,000 people in New York and Washington, D.C. that are now dead would be alive today
Why did Carter appease Arafat and his terrorist buddies
But neo libs do blame the right for everything
