Apologies. That picture should have been labeled 1988, rather than the 1998 date of the linked site.

Here are three sites, that show the effects of Saddam's gassing of his own citizens in 1988 and some of the reports in 1998....

For the Iraqi regime, Halabja appears to have been a testing ground.

Caution: Both sites have pictures that are most gruesome.

Mike Amitay, executive director of the Washington Kurdish Institute, spells out one of the important lessons of Halabja: "After the events of 9/11 and the subsequent anthrax crisis, it is clear that no one is immune from weapons of mass destruction. The people of Iraqi Kurdistan represent the largest civilian population ever exposed to such weapons. The benefit to the international community from learning about their experiences is incalculable."

Are you folks trying to redate the Halabja incident so that it shows up in the Clinton Administration rather than when is really occurred

jttmab, you old fraud, revealed at last by your own words!-g-

I've been wondering how much of your belly-aching about current events had to do with principle, and how much was just looking for sticks with which to beat the current administration, and the answer is now clear to me.

Go on home, boy, your mama's waiting for you.
