When Saddam was buzy gassing Iranians & Kurds the 2 vetos cast against
any condemnation came from Moscow & Washington.

When (using gas) he retook the Fao penisular there were US mil people there
"helping with logistics". Can't have the Iranians controlling Al
Fao as it's the route out for Iraqi oil.
