You should educate yourslef a little more into the "facts", or at least make an attempt to back up what you say.
ok, here is the Riegle report showing exactly what chemicals and poisons were shipped to iraq.
www.gulfweb.org...
feel free to scroll down to " US exports of biological matrials to iraq"
the list is quite long
the Germans provided "technology" to iraq for nerve and mustard agents so if you want to get technical the US didnt "supply" iraq with chemical weapons but they supplied the material for chemical weapons. And by the way, if america knew, (and they did) that Germany was building huge chemical weapons plants and helping with production and we didnt approve, why wouldnt they stop them? and more importantly, why would they ship the agents,bacteria, toxins etc. to fill those weapons with?
you seem smart and educated so i will simplify this part. The US wanted iraq to win the war against iran after the fall of the shah. In June, 1982, President Reagan said that "the United States would do whatever was necessary and legal to prevent Iraq from losing the war with Iran."
lastly you say " You should educate yourslef a little more into the "facts", or at least make an attempt to back up what you say."
if i recall correctly there were 5 links in my above post i counted zero in yours.
