How George H.W. Bush Helped Saddam Hussein Prevent an Iraqi Uprising | World | AlterNet
Interesting little article taken from the book.
Amazing what our country is involved in and what we are told.
This devastating passage from Barry Lando's book on the history of American and British imperial lies about Iraq exposes the efforts that the first Bush president made to keep Hussein in power after the first Gulf War.
Basically, we told the rebels to fight the regime. Then when Saddam used chemicals against them, they came to the americans for weapons to fight back and we said.."nah,that's ok. we will just destroy all the guns." ALL the weapons we got from the regime we destroyed instead of helping the rebels fight saddam.
