Sure other countries were involved in arming Iraq during the Cold War...but the US (among other countries) sold them the resources to make nuclear, biological and chemical WMD for their war against Iran...and continued to do so even after Saddam used those weapons on his own citizens...

Fallujah wasn't destroyed.
Good try though.

Unfortunately this arming by our so-called allies continued far beyond the Cold War.
Saddam didn't name his nuclear facility Al-Chirac because the US sold it to him.

The US also supplied Iraq with nuclear technology...so get your head out of your ass and 'fess up that your beloved country, (under Republican control mind you) during the Iraq/Iran war, largely contributed to the arming of the sovereign nation of Iraq with weapons of mass destruction...
Admit it, dammit!!

Nope, Fallujah remains. The terrorists have been killed though, stop crying they're will be more of them.
They suddenly will only accept Hiroshima-level destruction as evidence of a city being destroyed. By WWII two standards Fallujah is destroyed though. By those same standards Baghdad is a basket-case.
