I don't know; nether Saddam nor Rumsfeld have ever disclosed what was 
discussed. My guess is that Rumsfeld was telling Saddam that the US would 
not allow Westinghouse (a US company) to supply a nuclear reactor to Iran 
(the US refused to supply an export certificate, so Saddam bought off the 
French who had no such moral quibbles).

Of course, it could have been almost anything else - Iraq's human rights 
record, an attempt at a diplomatic resolution of the Iraq/Iran war, or a 
billion other things.

It certainly wasn't the US supplying weapons to Saddam, because they didn't.

So you must have provided them with weapons. The evidence is exactly the 
same as the evidence you offered that the US supplied weapons to Saddam.

Did you provide them with weapons, and if so, what were they?
