Ted Re...Of course, you noticed but you'd rather play stupid and make like this guy is telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
It seems your blood pressure is so high, you are too dizzy to read straight. Where is my answer did I say I believe anybody's version. I just pointed out that this guy said 2 million. Calm down before you have a stroke.
Have a good one, cheesehead!
LOL Surely you don't think I take offense at being called a cheesehead. At least none of our senators have sided with, and called OBL a saint like your Murray.
Please note the State Dept talks about Anfal deaths being in the neighborhood of 5k and not 182k like the Kurd leader suggests, or the numbers that Joe was bandying about.
Would you please note that the US state dep. is essentially talking a gassing in one village. • The "Anfal" campaign in the late 1980's against the Iraqi Kurds, including the use of poison gas on cities. In one of the worst single mass killings in recent history, Iraq dropped chemical weapons on Halabja in 1988, in which as many as 5,000 people -- mostly civilians -- were killed.
This guy, as well as Joe, are talking about the total deaths. Your state dept article talks only about one village in that campaign. Why are you deliberately confusing the facts?
From your other link, you will note this

The valleys of death: refugees appeal for Western intervention
Turkey says that 200,000 are in danger as Kurds flee north - the plight of a doomed people and their pleas for help
Martin Woollacott
Wednesday April 3, 1991
A monstrous crime is being perpetrated in Kurdistan. As the Kurdish people's brief springtime of freedom ends, they are, and will be, subject not only to the effects of a war waged in their own cities and towns without restraint or morality, but to the reimposition of Saddam Hussein's brutal rule and his revenge on those who have challenged him.
Yes a monstrous crime was perpetrated upon the Kurds then. And you prefer to keep him in power? You liberals have gone screwy, and turned your values upside down in your hatred of GW.
"Where is Bush?" was a question we must have heard a thousand times as we toiled on Monday up the slopes of the 8,000ft mountain passes that separate Iraq from Turkey. "Why did he start if he was not going to finish?" or "Why has he not finished Saddam?"
Did you ever watch the series on PBS lately, called, "The long road to War." chronicaling the events leading up to this war. In it Powell states clearly that he was the one who talked Bush 41 out of coming to the Kurds aid. Powell stated that he didn't see a clearly defined friend, or enemy, and didn't think we should get involved in that quagmire. So you can thank your buddy Powell for the Kurds plight. |
