FACTS:
All U.S. Government secret documents noted here arenow declassified, some with redacted portions, and obtained through the Freedom of Information Act.
SYNOPSIS:
The U.S. Government and Israel do the following: (Doc 1) Removed Saddam from the list of supporters of terror (after he invades Iran); (Doc 2) U.S. openly confirms in (now declassified memos) that Saddam was knowingly getting his chemical weapons from the U.S. (while the U.S. held out condemning or stopping him); and (Doc 3) Saddam and the U.S. government were establishing ‘mutually beneficial ties’ in an effort to steal Iranian resources.
DOCUMENTS:
(1) Department of State Cable from Alexander M. Haig, Jr. to the United States Interests Section in Iraq."De-designation of Iraq as Supporter of International Terrorism,"February 27, 1982.

(2) Department of State, Military Affairs Memorandum from Jonathan T. Howe to George P. Shultz. "Iraq Use of Chemical Weapons," November 1, 1983. Officials from the State Department tell Secretary Shultz confirm Iraq's"almost daily" use of chemical weapons. They note, "We also know that Iraq has acquired a CW (chemical weapons) production capability, presumably from Western firms, including possibly a U.S. foreign subsidiary."

DISCUSSION:
Now you can ask questions, like:
(1) Why do Iranians call the US government the ‘BigSatan’ and Israel the ‘Little Satan’?
(2) Is Israel the only country that can use the slogan “NEVER FORGET”? And if so, based on what standards given that the US, Saddam, and Israel were caught red-handed using weapons ofmass destruction against Iranians and Iraqi-Kurds (including civilian populations)?
(3) Can the U.S./Israel be trusted?
(4) Can’t the case be made that Iranians have other things in common with Palestinians than religion: E.g., They are the victims of U.S./Israeli terror and sponsorship of terror.
(And, of course, one can think of a million other questions that reasonable people might ask themselves under these exceedingly disturbing and irrefutable facts, where Saddam, the U.S., and Israel sought to destroy our people,steal our resources, and annex portions of our country almost immediately after the change of government in Iran in 1979-80.)
