ORIGINAL: CreativeDominant Funny how when it is a Republican president...who DID have congressional approval...did it, then it is wrong. Funny how we have NOT taken their oil wells. Funny how there IS no U.S. company that is "in charge/ownership" of Iraq. Funny how we were not possibly helping Al-Queda when we went into Iraq. Funny just how precise the U.S. Air Force pilots have suddenly gotten that there is NO collateral civilian damage, only Kha-daffy supporters. Funny how, despite Obama;s swearing to the "fact" that there were no Americans on the ground, it turns out that there WERE C.I.A. operatives on the ground. The provision of chemical precursors from United States companies to Iraq was enabled by a Ronald Reagan administration policy that removed Iraq from the State Department's list of State Sponsors of Terrorism. Leaked portions of Iraq's "Full, Final and Complete" disclosure of the sources for its weapons programs shows that thiodiglycol, a substance needed to manufacture mustard gas, was among the chemical precursors provided to Iraq from US companies such as Alcolac International and Phillips. Both companies have since undergone reorganization and Phillips, once a subsidiary of Phillips Petroleum is now part of ConocoPhillips, an American oil and discount fossil fuel company, while Alcolac International has since dissolved and reformed as Alcolac Inc.[24] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halabja_poison_gas_attack#International_sources_for_technology_and_chemical_precursors Republican administrations do have such a unique intimate history with Saddam Hussein, don't they? No need to take my word for it of course - you can read all about how they cuddled up to each other, along with seeing a cute pic of Reagan's envoy, a certain Donald Rumsfeld (remember him?) shaking hands with none other than Saddam himself at this National Security Archive link: http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB82/
