The United States provided Iraq with intelligence on preparations for an Iranian offensive during the Iran-Iraq war even though it knew Baghdad would respond with chemical weapons, Foreign Policy magazine reported Monday.

Citing declassified CIA documents and interviews with former officials, the magazine reviewed the US record as Washington weighs military action against Syria for its alleged use of chemical weapons near Damascus last week.

The magazine said the US knew in 1983 that Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein would not hesitate to resort to shelling Iranian forces with sarin or mustard gas.

This is all about money and power....and oil, which provides both of those.

When one is compromised, these leaders flip on each other and the citizens are the ones who pay the price(in death or monetary) in the end.

Operation Cyclone was the code name for the United States Central Intelligence Agency program to arm and finance the Afghan mujahideen prior to and during the Soviet war in Afghanistan, 1979 to 1989. The program leaned heavily towards supporting militant Islamic groups that were favored by neighboring Pakistan, rather than other, less ideological Afghan resistance groups that had also been fighting the Marxist-oriented Democratic Republic of Afghanistan regime since before the Soviet intervention. Operation Cyclone was one of the longest and most expensive covert CIA operations ever undertaken;[1] funding began with $20–30 million per year in 1980 and rose to $630 million per year in 1987.[2] Funding continued after 1989 as the Mujahideen battled the forces of Mohammad Najibullah's PDPA during the Civil war in Afghanistan (1989–1992)

The U.S. government has been criticized for allowing Pakistan to channel a disproportionate amount of its funding to controversial Afghan resistance leader Gulbuddin Hekmatyar,[30] who Pakistani officials believed was "their man".[31] Hekmatyar has been criticized for killing other mujahideen and attacking civilian populations, including shelling Kabul with American-supplied weapons, causing 2,000 casualties. Hekmatyar was said to be friendly with Osama bin Laden, founder of al-Qaeda, who was running an operation for assisting "Afghan Arab" volunteers fighting in Afghanistan, called Maktab al-Khadamat. Alarmed by his behavior, Pakistan leader General Zia warned Hekmatyar, "It was Pakistan that made him an Afghan leader and it is Pakistan who can equally destroy him if he continues to misbehave."[32]

In the late 1980s, Pakistani prime minister Benazir Bhutto, concerned about the growing strength of theIslamist movement, told President George H. W. Bush, "You are creating a Frankenstein."[33]

The U.S. says that all of its funds went to native Afghan rebels and denies that any of its funds were used to supply Osama bin Laden or foreign Arab mujahideen. However, even a portion of those native Afghan rebels would form parts of the Taliban, fighting against the US military.[34]

While there is no evidence that the CIA had direct contact with Osama Bin Laden[35][36] and US funding was directed to Afghan Mujahedin groups,[37] critics of U.S. foreign policy consider Operation Cyclone to be substantially responsible for setting in motion the events that led to theterrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 commonly known as the term blowback.[38] William Hartung argues that the early foundations of al-Qaidawere built in part on relationships and weaponry that came from the billions of dollars in U.S. support for the Afghan mujahadin during the war to expel Soviet forces from that country.[39] According to Christopher Andrew, and Vasily Mitrokhin there is "no support" in any "reliable source" for "the claim that the CIA funded bin Laden or any of the other Arab volunteers who came to support the mujahideen."[40] Peter Bergen writes that "[t]he real problem is not that the CIA helped bin Laden during the 1980s, but that the Agency simply had no idea of his possible significance until the bin Laden unit was set up within the CIA in January 1996.

The United States of America trained and funded a group of people that ended up being led by Osama Bin Laden years later

The game is so simple and yet it keeps going on and on. America offers one of these guys some kind of 'deal' to prop some leader up, and as long as the leader stays in line, nothing happens. But as soon as the leader gets out of step with the directives from behind the scenes, they get framed as enemy number 1 and get taken out. USA put Saddam in power, gave him chemical weapons as well as trained Al Qaeda, aka the Mujahadeen.
