You'd better be careful about identifying helicopters or other aircraft that "could" be used for chemical warfare, after months of derision about other aircraft that the Bush administration claimed had the potential for such use.

Look at it this way. If Bush pointed at agricultural helicopters, and declared that they "might" be used to spray gas on enemies, how many people here would buy that as WMD evidence?

The vast majority of the conventional weaponry sold to Iraq came from the U.S.S.R., France, and others. I would bet money that the vast majority of liberals you surveyed on this would declare that the U.S. sold Iraq most of its weapons.

The biologicals were research materials. This is largely outlined in this document.

Interestingly, this is about the eighth time I've linked to these sources. The information goes through some heads like a neutrino through kleenex.

How about telling us all that "hundred thousand deaths" number yet again?

It is interesting that the stories about "precursors" and "dual-use" items sold to Iraq (to "prove" that the U.S. was facilitating WMD warfare) list most of the same precursors and dual-use items soundly denounced by the Left when Bush listed them as evidence of WMD.

To listen to some crackpots, you'd think the U.S. had sold barrels of nerve gas to Saddam.
