Where is your proof of this statement? No doubt they supported Iraq in the Iran/Iraq war, but where is your proof of "British/CIA backing of Saddam Hussein's chemical attacks in the 1980s"? There is a million miles of difference between those two things. And nobody is denying Saddam used chemical weapons against Iranians and against the Kurds. So how does that factor into your of dismissing claims that Assad uses chemical weapons against his own people now?springrain wrote:And let's not forget the British/CIA backing of Saddam Hussein's chemical attacks in the 1980s.
Your saying "Saddam did it and the US and UK clearly supported it then, but Assad is NOT doing it now and Russia is NOT backing Assad in doing it now and any claims to the contrary are obviously fake western propaganda as a pretext to war".
