Did those items become banned for export to Iraq after our government became aware of Iraq's use of chem weapons on Iran and the Kurds?
Yes they did. It was sloppy work of the Department of Commerce but it was a straight beaurocratic foul up. No one of high rank in the administration approved it. The companies also share the blame, but it was a routine request and was handled in a routine manner.
Do you have dates for the bans? If not, maybe a guesstimate? I want to look into this. Thanks.
