Я Вам приводил ссылку, что немецких фирм, поставляющих оружие Ираку, в два раза больше, чем всех остальных, вместе взятых.
Вы? Мне? Ссылку? Наверно я не все Ваши посты читаю. Извините.
В любом случае важно не количество фирм, а что они поставляли.
American investigators have established that several shipments of biological material, including 21 batches of anthrax , were licensed for export from the US to Iraq between 1985 and 1988. They were sent to the Ministry of Higher Education and the Ministry of Trade in Baghdad.
The new revelations, based on documents of the State Department made public in part, show that already in 1982 President Reagan and his Vice-President, George Bush the elder, not only knew Iraq was using chemical weapons, but were working on a secret program to send military advisors to Baghdad in order to keep an eye on the planning of the attacks against Iranian troops. The possibility that the Iraqi army might suddenly collapse, opening the way for the Iranians to move against Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, convinced Reagan and Bush to line up unhesitatingly with Saddam Hussein - a decision that was sanctioned by a National Security Decision Directive of June 1982 (still classified at the present time) and by the cancellation of Iraq from the list of "rogue states" supporting terrorism.
That same year Baghdad was welcomed to benefit from the exportation of US technologies, plants, and information on a dual use basis (in the civilian and military fields), along with the military technology needed to develop chemical, bacteriological, and nuclear armaments, as was brought out by the inspections of Iraqi installations conducted by the UN after 1991. Between 1985 and 1990 the US Department of Trade approved 771 licenses for dual use technological products.
In the meantime the USA continued to supply Iraq with technology and substances (precursors) to be used in synthesis of components for chemical warfare (nerve gas VX) as well as pathogenic agents to be used in bacteriological warfare.
According to the Report of the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs of the US Senate, the United States exported pathogenic agents for biological warfare to Iraq until November 28, 1989. But the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) sent Senator Donald Reigle ╜ author of the report - a list "of all the biological agents, including viruses, retroviruses, bacteria, and funguses sent by the CDC to the Iraqi government from October 1984 to October 13, 1993," i.e., two years after the end of the Gulf War
Still a further official US report, "Strengthening the Export License System",5 indicates that until July 18, 1990, a few days before Iraq invaded Kuwait, the Bush administration had approved the export of strategically important technological products to Iraq to the value of 4.8 million dollars, earmarked for the Ministry of Industry and Military Industrialization (MIMI), known since 1988 to be responsible for the management of industrial plants involved in programs for chemical, biological, and nuclear armament.
Thus the technological and financial support of the USA favored the most important phases in the development of Iraqi programs for nuclear, chemical, and biological weaponry; after 1983, i.e., following Rumsfeld's visit to Baghdad, Iraq succeeded in producing nerve gas, indispensable for finalizing a strategic chemical weapons system, developed some nuclear programs, and began production of bacteriological weapons which, however, never got beyond the rudimentary stages.
Может еще напомнить как правительство США отреагировало на применение химического оружия против курдов или хватит уже?
не поймите меня правильно!
