lordjeebus, looking at the big picture, it seems that, again, the US is hardly a big player in the Iraqi WMD area. German companies build the chemical plants that made Saddam's nerve gas; French companies build the nuclear power plant that might have led to the Iraqi's having nukes (if Israel hadn't blown up said plant). Apparently, Russia later build *another* nuclear power plant for them.
If I'm not mistaken, the US "merely" supplied Iraq with reverence strains of biological agents. Nasty of course, but not something those other countries were unable or unwilling to do, I'd imagine.
In short, your claim that "the WMD programs ... were founded on technology sold by US corporations with US government approval" is clearly inaccurate (at the very least). Biological weapons programs, maybe; but chemical and nuclear weapons programs were not based on technology supplied by the US. Well, unless you count the Manhatten project as a direct source for Iraqi WMDs; and even that was initiated by an European (Einstein)...
