I pointed at *Dutch* night-vision goggles sales. I did not imply that the US had sold such small things. But still, when you look at the big picture, the US barely sold anything compared to France and Russia.
Again: *German* companies build the factories that allowed Saddam to make his own chemical weapons, while *France* build a nuclear power plant for him. Russia is also suspected of building another nuke plant.
In short: Nobody is innocent in this instance, so *some people* should stop blaming it all on the US.
As for the sales after the gulf war: proof it. The link you provide does not say that. It says biological agents were sold, and *something* was sold up to march '92. This might have been *anything*, including needles, normal medical equipment, medicines and such.
I find it highly unlikely that the Bush (sr) administration would knowingly supply Saddam with biological weapons after they just kicked his arse in a war, a war in which they almost faced those same weapons.
