UH...quote....According to former CIA Near East Division Chief James Chritchfield, after al-Bakr and Saddam seized power in 1968, "America slowly developed, not a hostility, but enormous reservations about the ability of the Ba'ath to constructively bring Iraq along."[35] From 1973-5, the CIA colluded with Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi of Iran to finance and arm Kurdish rebels in the Second Kurdish-Iraqi War.../quote The Al-Anfal Campaign was between 1986 and 1989.[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="sSubZerOo"]
Define evil.. That is my argument that these operations are not meant to save lives.. They are for political and economic gain.. I find it so hilarious and so tragic how fvcked up the reality of the matter is.. That we have the same people who go on about we went in for saving lives, but the very same people pretty much condone all the collateral damage and really not care about the deaths of the actual event to begin with....... If lives were the main goal where was everybody during the Rwandan genocide or the darfur genocide? The US supported many of the leaders EVEN WHEN this happened.. Reagan and Bush Sr. didn't pull their support when Saddam gased the kurds! They did when they became uncooperative and finally invaded a neighboring country of economic importance!

Perhapes you weren't aware of the Contra scandal, they sold to both sides.. The US and Israel armed both sides so they could slaughter one another.. Because a weaker Iran and Iraq were in their best interests..
I'm aware and are you now switching the goal posts?
