Oh, those mass graves of Iranian soldiers killed by chemical agents sold or given to Saddam by the USA? I'd have thought the American press would want to hide those too. Not the ideal choice of "Look, we're not as bad as Saddam" propaganda.
First of all since ALL chemical weapons used by the Iraqi's were of French design, do you really think the US should take sole resposibility because some (and not all) of the chemicals used in the weapons were bought from the US (and many of those through brokers). Personally since France sold 300+ illegal missile engines in the last two years to Iraq, I have a much bigger issue with that, then legal sales of farming chemicals which the french helped turn them into chemical weapons.
