Could this be why the Reagan Administration never called Saddam out on this gassing?

[Tim Partlett]

"Former British foreign secretary Geoffrey Howe was found to have written that the end of the Iraq-Iran war could mean "major opportunities for British industry" in military exports, but he wanted to keep that proposal quiet."

"Soon after the [civilian chemical] attack, the United States approved the export to Iraq of virus cultures and a billion-dollar contract to design and build a petrochemical plant the Iraqis planned to use to produce mustard gas."

More examples of sickening political perfidy.
