Not really actually. Some dual use stuff was sold to him (stuff that could be converted into such uses but not primarily intended for such uses) but it came mostly from Europeans and others.

Iraq and weapons of mass destruction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And that was on the WMD stuff. On non-WMD, the Russians were a heavy armer as were some European nations once again and others.

Contrary to popular belief given repetition of the claim, the US never had a good relationship with Hussein. It was relatively cool even during the Iran-Iraq War and certainly beyond repair once Gulf War I happened.

So, essentially, a large portion of the UN was demanding proof of the weapons it had the receipts for in the buildup to the invasion.
