The CNN report repeats the myth that the US was the main supporter of Saddam during the Iran/Iraq war. In fact, Russia supplied far more weapons.
Yes! The US did not arm Saddam. In fact the US armed Iran, that is why they called it “Iran-Contra”, not “Iraq-Contra”.
When the USA fought Saddam in the gulf war, they came up against Russian, French, and Chinese arms…. not “made in the USA”.
