No. He's wrong, but that's not why


Are you saying that US, and specifically Donald Rumsfeld, were not
supporting Saddam Hussein in the 1980's?

Read this article http://www.truthout.org/docs_03/122603C.shtml

Are you under the impression that your URL is anything but extremist
propaganda? It's kind of like quoting a KKK website about opinions of
blacks. Or quoting a PLO website for opinions about Israel.


Never mind the URL.

The discussion is about Rumsfeld/Shultz conduct during 1983-1984.

Do you deny the truth of the statements made?

The statement made was that the US supported Saddam while Saddam was
gassing Kurds. Yes, I deny that.

I guess "you can't handle the truth!"

Sure I can. Fantasies like this are a little more difficult.

Many comments were made in the article about Rumsfeld's conduct and
Schultz's conduct during 1883-1984.

The article was nothing but propaganda from an extermist left wing
group.

I suppose you don't believe that there is a picture of Rummy shaking
Saddam's hand?


Get your head out of the sand or your ass.

Please tell us WHY you believe the statements to be false.

Because when Saddam gassed the Kurds the US government immediately
condemned him and his actions publicly, including in the UN.
