From the article I quoted......
Declassified documents show that Rumsfeld traveled to Baghdad at a time when Iraq was using chemical weapons on an "almost daily" basis in defiance of international conventions.
Why sell a country materials that could be used in chemical weapons when they knew full well what Saddam was doing to his people and the Iranians?

No they did NOT sell him weapons. They sold him the material he could use to make them.
The rest of what you typed there is in complete agreement of what I have said in this thread.
