CIA Files Prove America Helped Saddam as He Gassed Iran
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1044117 United States 08/26/2013 09:19 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	CIA Files Prove America Helped Saddam as He Gassed Iran [link to www.theatlanticwire.com] The U.S. knew about, and in one case helped, Iraq's chemical weapons attacks against Iran in the 1980's, according to recently declassified CIA documents obtained by Foreign Policy. Their detailed timeline, also constructed with the aid of interviews with former foreign intelligence officials, indicates that the U.S. secretly had evidence of Iraqi chemical attacks in 1983. The evidence, FP writes, is "tantamount to an official American admission of complicity in some of the most gruesome chemical weapons attacks ever launched." [link to www.foreignpolicy.com] The U.S. government may be considering military action in response to chemical strikes near Damascus. But a generation ago, America's military and intelligence communities knew about and did nothing to stop a series of nerve gas attacks far more devastating than anything Syria has seen, Foreign Policy has learned. This just came up on Maddows show on CNN and led me to read more. Thoughts?
