[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 1430716, member: 2189"] Enabled would likely be the more correct term. However there were American companies who were directly involved per the NY Times piece among others so depending on how one sees that and understanding the US Gov't role in foreign trade, depends on how one defines that role. There were earlier CIA connections to the rise of the Bathists so one questions without the US could or would the Iraqis be able to hold off the Iranians. The US policy makers at the time seems to me in action indicated they could not. [/QUOTE]
