Oh, but he did! We were on Saddam's side on the war against Iran. We supplied weapons and funded the training of his army. Then when he turned out to be an unsavory guy, he became Public Enemy #1. Very convenient.
We followed that same pattern with Osama Bin Laden, incidentally. He was a US operative in Afghanistan when Russia invaded. He led anti-Russian guerilla fighting, funded, supplied and supported by the US.
