My assertion was imprecise - the chemical weapons and the equipment to make them was technically bought from Italy Germany and the UK, but the US arranged for their sale to Iraq to go through and have advice to Iraq on how and where to use them.
I mean it's pretty commonly accepted at this point that Iraq was a US proxy for waging war in the middle east (similar to the mujihadeen against the russians)..I don't think it's too much of a stretch to arrive at the conclusion that the USA facilitated the sale of weapons of mass destruction (anthrax) to Iraq.
