Teribus..."utterly laughable" you say.
You are as about convincing as a camel with its head stuck up its arse.
The role of the USA and the UK in supporting and financing Saddam is well documented.

George Bush Snr was a constant backer of Saddam .The US govt supplied everything from unrefined sarin by hundreds of tonnes to bacteria strains to sophisticated communications equipment to up to the minute military intelligence, from helicopter engines to dual use equipment of all kinds.

Furthermore the work of the US-Iraq Business Forum was augmented by Kissinger Associates which did much to ensure that trade between US corporations and Saddam's Iraq went smoothly.

The neo cons squirm now at the connection between the US and Saddam and would dearly love to write it out of history,hence the attack on people like Robert Fisk who has been a close observer of the role of the USA in the Middle East for many years.
