We supported Iraq against Iran yes, shocking after the whole 'hostage' thing.
I read the entire section on Rumsfield and the only 'crime' seems to be we didn't condem the use of Chemical weapons in 1983 on his first trip there and the US waited until 1984 to do so.
In the early 80's Iraq was seen as a potential ally against Iran, and we supported one group of assholes against another. Once the level of assholishness was determined that cooperation ceased.
