Tom,<br><br>I have no personal knowledge of what George Bush, Sr. and the U.S. government did in regard to supplying weapons, etc., to Iraq in their war with Iran. What I do have knowledge of is in regard to the lack of verity of this type of "information" which comes out of the Liberal media who is adamantly opposed to any Republican administration and the spurious scuttlebutt which is widely available on the Internet in such matters.

Wouldn't that be akin to saying that a family that buys their son a fast car is responsible for their son's drunkenness and reckless driving? [img]http://www.the-highway.com/w3timages/icons/nono.gif" alt="nono" title="nono[/img] Hussein is guilty of crimes against humanity by his own doing. Even his own people hate him for what he has done and will continue to do, if allowed. All this type of rhetoric is no doubt coming from those who are opposed to the impending action of the U.S. against Hussein. And when someone objects to the many false accusations that are thrown about, etc., they are slandered and additionally accused of believing that the President and the U.S. government is blameless in all things; another reactionary and unfounded attempt at character assassination.<br><br>It's a dirty job..... but someone's got to be doing it!
