That's an exaggeration. The U.S. is certainly in a position to provide technical assistance, training, and equipment far superior to that of any other country.
But in any case, regardless of whom they
could have gotten it from, they
did get it from the U.S.
According to Senate testimony later, the Reagan administration was secretly providing a wide range of technical military assistance to the Iraqis. The Reagan administration was doing this because apparently no other nation was willing and capable.
