>> Obama is responsible for the ACA website not working.

Almost six years as president and he's responsible for ... a website.

ROTFLMAO.

Dead Kurdish child gassed by tejek's Saddam Hussein



Kurdish boy gassed in Halabja, Iraq on March 16, 1988 by Saddam Hussein. 5,000 people were killed; 75% were women and children. Their skin was discolored, their eyes open and staring where they had not recessed into their sockets, a grayish mucous was oozing from their mouths and their fingers were clenched.

Sarin is a chemical warfare agent, which targets the nervous system and inhibits it from functioning properly. Nerve agents are the most toxic and rapidly acting of the known chemical warfare agents. Sarin is 26 times as deadly as cyanide gas, and a drop the size of a pinhead is sufficient to kill. Choking and bleeding from the nose and mouth commence within a few seconds after exposure to it and can lead to death. It was used by Saddam Hussein along with other chemical warfare agents (Mustard Gas, Cyanide and VX nerve gas) during the Iran-Iraq War in the 1980s, and against the Kurds in 1988.
