USA armed 'rebels' in afghanistan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Cyclone

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.
