I think it´s naive the way you´re talking about the German government. Even if the government knew what was going on (you should prove that first), it wouldn´t have caused harm to US-relations, since the US have delivered WMD support to Baghdad in its fight against Kurds and Iran, too.

Note: Germany was a satellite state of the US until 1990.

Please provide evidences to your assumption that the German government knew of the weapons deliveries and that German firms supplied Iraq after 1991. If you can´t, stop attacking the government.

America had no better friend in our Chancellery than Helmut Kohl, after Konrad Adenauer. And Schröder is in office since 1998.

Do you honestly live in a world where arms and vital technologies sales to enemy states doesn't get noticed by the government?
