ARBIL, Iraq (news - web sites), Jun 18 (IPS) - A year after the fall of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites), the mountains and plains of Northern Iraq are still covered in landmines planted by the former Iraqi dictator's regime during the 1980s. That is when he fought a decade-long war with Iran and many battles with Kurdish guerrillas. snip


In Northern Iraq the Italian built mine Valmara is the most plentiful and the most dangerous. But the U.S. built landmine, the M-14 sold to Saddam by the administration of then president Ronald Reagan (news - web sites) is also lethal. snip

The governments of France, Germany and Britain sold chemical agents to Saddam's government. U.S. companies also chipped in. France sold Iraq Mirage fighter jets and the Soviets Mig-29s that were used to deliver the chemical weapons.


The U.S. government added key intelligence information to make sure Saddam's planes were not shot down.


"Some day," Abdurrachman says, "those who supplied him will also have to stand trial."

1. That is why they want to hand him over to our puppet Allawai... he

will make sure that Saddam can never open his trap.

2. That is why the US seized the weapons declaration at the UN ...

and only provided heavily redacted copies to other countries.

3. I hope those who supplied Saddam

...are held accountable.

Best thing for Bushites would be to get the interim Iraqi gov't to engineer Saddam's demise. "Shot trying to escape"?
