do you know why we sold them to sadaam? u prob. dont...
Well, when iraq and iran were at war, and this is Bush Sr. era, and as most of us know, the bush family has a strong tie to the royal family of Saudia Arabia, the Arabian government wanted iraq to destroy iran's oil fields. now the Saudia royals give the bush family lots of $, and in turn, the bush family does their dirty work or favors. so the US sold these weapons to iraq (sadaam) so he could use them against iran to destroy the oil fields. why would the saudia's want the iran oil fields destroyed? well saudia arabia makes their fortune out of oil. and if iran's oil fields are burned (iran is one of saudia's main competetors), iran can't sell the oil, which will allow the saudia's to raise their oil prices to buyers, which will let them add to the fortune......get it?
