Yes, You read it right:

Apparently the clear view of history is opening up the IraqGate (yes, that is IRAQGATE):

...former CIA officer Melissa Boyle Mahle, a Middle East expert, stated flatly in her new book, Denial and Deception, that in the mid-1980s, “the United States was already deeply involved in providing weapons and other military support to Iraq.”

You know, Josh Marshall was right, it is "up is downism." This arming of Iraq, along with Iran-Contra, was the work of Saint Reagan along with the vice-Saint, Daddy Bush. When will we wake up?
