Default How US helped Iraq build deadly arsenal

Tosser writes

The United States considered using force to seize oilfields in the
Middle East during an oil embargo by Arab states in 1973, according to
British government documents just made public.


You mean Britain *thought* the United States considered using force ....

Just a small difference.


Nope. The US Defence Secretary told the British Ambassador that the US
was considering using force.
