Saddam was responsible for gassing thousands of innocent people. But who supplied him with the military ware that helped him to do so?

Fair enough.
I was just answering the question you asked and filling in the blanks.

Agreed on the part we shouldn't forget plenty of innocent lives were lost. However, I believe the biggest tragedy of this war was that these people died for what? What good came out of this?
ABOARD A U.S. MILITARY AIRCRAFT — A combat brigade of 5,000 American troops may be brought home early from Iraq if the trend of reduced violence holds, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said Wednesday.
It was the first suggestion that the Obama administration might rethink its decision to keep as many forces in Iraq as possible this year. Obama has settled on a gradual withdrawal plan despite his opposition to the war as a candidate.
White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said later that "conditions on the ground" will dictate any quickening of the withdrawal pace.
