Yep, and even then only durring the Iran Iraq war after Iran started shooting at the US ships in the Gulf. The US contribution in military support came out to 1%, with the top two being France and the USSR/Russia, both in the 40% range. France and Russia were still supporting Saddam durring sanctions.

I agree completely with this Administration’s goal of a regime change in Iraq-John Kerry
even if that enforcement is mostly at the hands of the United States, a right we retain even if the Security Council fails to act-John Kerry
He may even miscalculate and slide these weapons off to terrorist groups to invite them to be a surrogate to use them against the United States. It’s the miscalculation that poses the greatest threat-John Kerry
