why is your video gone about saddams murderous regime?

Thank you for this video on Weapons of mass destruction and the reign of Saddam Hussein. I do have I believe a better understanding now of why it happened and also why we didn't find all of them yet (the WMDs). It does give credit on US's actions. I hope to see some muslims being ashamed of what terrorist do in the name of Islam and see less lies on youtube videos regarding Islam as I can do today. In fact I'm still in search of a single video that would be honest regarding Islam as I could read it in the Qur'an because my girlfriend is muslim and would like me to convert. Until today I'm still in the search of such a video...

be honest, never be traitor, I feel u made vid against muslims. instead, be open-minded that this world is for everybody, not just for some, lets not neglect others need, whoever he is, wherever he came from. anytime , theowner of this world will take it back. we will be judged accrdng to how we behave towards each other, to HIS creatures. STOP KILLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BLAMING EACH OTHER, LETS HELP FOR THE TOTAL PEACE ON EARTH...STOP KILLING,

Hey so to the point, Iraq had absolutely nothing to do with oil then is what I understood. Very well done vldeo. The most legit video I have ever seen on our current war. Impressive. A+ . It really does make me proud to be an American more than before I watched that video.

Iran thus had to fight off accusations of perpetrating precisely the kinds of atrocities from which it had always claimed it had refrained out of deference to moral principles rooted in humanity and religion (not to mention that it lagged years behind Iraq in developing these weapons). Whatever voice it had on chemical warfare -- the only rhetorical edge it had enjoyed over Iraq in the war -- was now drowned out by contrary claims that directly challenged the moral high ground it had professed to be taking. Irans own admonitions that it might eventually have no choice but to wage chemical warfare of its own certainly did not help.

When evidence of civilian chemical casualties first emerged in April 1987, the Reagan administration moved from preemptive condemnation to active disinformation in an effort to diffuse Iraqs responsibility for waging chemical warfare. By blaming both sides equally, Iraq would effectively be let off the hook. By the fall of 1987, word was out that Iran had begun to respond to Iraqi chemical weapons outrages in kind. Baghdad repeatedly made such claims, and now Washington chimed in.[7]

They plied the Iraqis with satellite intelligence of Iranian troop movements and encouraged allied Arab states to provide them with military hardware. These measures led the Iraqis to believe that they enjoyed Washingtons benign tolerance of their war effort, whatever the means deployed. The result was more lethal chemical agents, used more massively than before, targeting now also civilian populations. The policy reached its apex with the wholesale gassing of the large Iraqi Kurdish town of Halabja in March 1988, an attack in which several thousand civilians perished.[6]

By 1987, when the Iraqi regime started attacking Kurdish civilians (in both Iran and Iraq) with gas, Iraqs sponsors in Washington were forced to engage in further damage control. Buoyed by the defeat of their bureaucratic opponents in the Iran-contra scandal, they had stepped up their support of a regime that most agreed was unsavory but saw as a necessary bulwark against the spread of Islamist radicalism in the sensitive Gulf region.

Commerce data showed that between 1985 and 1990, it approved 771
licenses, valued at $1.5 billion, for sales to Iraq, while only 39 applications
were rejected. According to Commerce, another 323 applications valued at
$442 million were returned to the applicants without action, primarily due
to incomplete information.
