The US did, indeed, support Saddam. The US helped him get to power and helped Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war. Iraq was, for a time under Reagan with Donald Rumsfeld (yes, that Rumsfeld) as an emissary, the third largest recipient of US assistance on earth.
The first Bush doubled US assistance to Iraq and, apparently, purposefully ignored Iraq as it obviously planned to invade Kuwait.
