I am not sure how this is an excuse for the current war being that there are separated by a good decade but... whatever shakes your tree fella.

Here's why it matters, try and follow this.
1980s, US Sells Iraq "components" for chemical/biological weapons. Iraq uses them. Iraq invades neighbour, US forces them back, destroys much of the infrastructure, and then sanctions the country until the next war begins.
We all agree on this, yes? Yes?
Care to explain to me how in the years after the infrastructure of the capital city was destroyed, and country was placed under crippling sanctions, Saddam was able to aquire more or different chemical/weapons other than the ones that were 'made' from the 'components' america gave him?
Did Osama give them to him?
