Exactly.

Saddam Hussein was armed by the US in the eighties, when Iran was considered the bigger threat.

Haven´t seen many posts from the OP in the past complaining about that little fact...

Not to get too off topic, but the Danes sent Saddam more arms during the 80's than the US. According to the SIPRI Arms Transfers Database, the US was 7th on the list, after USSR, China, France, Brazil, Egypt, Denmark respectively.
