As I've posted countless times on this board (yet some still don't believe it) Saddam got his chemical weapons and the means to produce them in Iraq from the USA, specifically from Donald Rumsfeld and Ronny The ReyGun.
The USA under Reagan wanted them used on Iran and the Iran Iraq war was the perfect place to use them on Iran through their "man in Baghdad" Saddam Hussein.
These are the same chemical weapons used against the Kurds. The reason G Worst Bush KNEW that Iraq had WMD's is because their own Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld gave them to Saddam.
Once it was apparent that the US was going to war if Iraq didn't give up their WMD's, Saddam complied with the UN Weapons inspections and destroyed their entire Chemical Weapons stockpile and manufacturing capability, thereby eliminating the reason for an invasion by the USA.
Remember the UN weapons inspectors saying there were no WMD's in Iraq? Remember G Worst Bush saying that Iraq had WMD's... "Slam Dunk". Remember The RUMMY saying we KNOW Iraq has WMD's and we know where they are?
It was all a scam... a US Grab for Iraqi oil... that failed miserably. (Meanwhile, Osama Bin Laden, walked out of Afghanistan into Pakistan, still in control of Al Qaeda)

Where's the Clinton or Obama DOJ prosecution? I thought the two party system prevented this type of illegal action taken in the name of the American people? The democrat majority in Congress during the 80's couldn't stop it?

If you remember the US Congress is in charge of Impeachment, and the Congress was very busy with much more important things when the Republicans Impeached Bill for sharing a cigar with Monica. MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN WAR CRIMES!

During the 80's? I don't remember that.
So you are saying the legislative and judicial branch have no check on executive abuse? Hmmmmm...Interesting. Make sure you go vote!
Bill Clinton was a governor of Arkansas in the 80's.

Bill Clinton was a governor of Arkansas in the 80's.
He was the pres in 92, he could have prosecuted his predecessor for selling chemical weapons to Saddam. Or i'm sure the Senate and House majority leader(which were democrats) could have taken some legal action to stop executive abuse. You know checks and balances. The two party system, you know...where one party acts illegally, and the opposition party acts outraged, then grants immunity to the people who committed these criminal acts.
It's not unusual for US officials to meet with Democratically Elected Heads of State...
Now, Boxy will come out and say that Saddam wasn't elected and I will retort that neither was Mao, Stalin, Brezhnev. or the house of Saud.
IIRC Obama said that he wanted to meet unconditionally with the leaders of Iran, Cuba and Venezuela.
Boxy can't accept the fact that Obama is a total failure when it comes to foreign policy, so he has to recycle again and again and again some crap that happened damn near 30 years ago.
So, in conclusion, what does Boxy's OP, Regan, and Saddam have in common?
Oh right, they are all dead.

I have no problem with US Presidents meeting with world leaders... I just wish this meeting were about constructive LEGAL topics... not about how to scam the US Public by giving Iraq chemical weapons through third parties so that The Rummy could claim that he had no knowledge of the event.

Because it has never happened right?
Nobody gives a crap about it now, just like nobody gives a crap that we gave the Soviets weapons, technology and tactics during WW2 to fight the Germans
'The enemy of my enemy is my friend'
I'm sure you'll be the first one opening up the thread and slamming your 'god' Obama when it comes to light that that the U.S was smuggling weapons to Syrians via Libya

YUP. If Obama supplied these chemical weapons to Syria, then Obama is at least partly responsible for their use.

Yeah right, we'll see what tune you play when Obama orders our military to start striking ground targets in Syria.
Oh and FYI, unlike Libya, Afghanistan and Iraq, Syria actually has a fairly formidable air defense network.
Would really suck, if by some chance, they shot down a F-22 or a B-2.

Bucky seems to have some unfulfilled dream of a disaster in Syria. I hope this thing can end peacefully but at this stage it's unlikely.
Buck... exactly what do you 'assume' that my position on Syria is? Do you have some undisclosed information about my opinion on the issue???
You seem to be setting up some kind of "HA TOLD YA SO" moment... but I have no idea why.
IMO, the best case scenario is that WMD's are taken off the table without further escalating the war or involving US troops.

It's quite obvious Regean did this, but with that said, Clinton and Obama probably would have done the same thing, and throw in Bush too.... Wake up the two parties are one, for real!
