The Halabja Massacre of 1988

On this day in 1988 Saddam Hussin ordered a chemical attack on the town of Halabja. They hit the residents with poison gas and nerve agents kiling five thousand and injuring twice that number. This massacre of Kurdish people on March 16, 1988 in the waining days of the Iran–Iraq War was part of the Al-Anfal Campaign in Kurdistan and happened 2 days after the town was captured by Iranian forces. The worthless UN held a medical investigation which surmised that mustard gas and unidentified nerve agents were used in the attack. This terrorist incident was the largest chemical weapons attack against a civilian population in history and the residents of the area suffer an increased incidence for cancer and birth defects. Is there any wonder Ali Hassan Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti aka "Chemical Ali" and the strongarm tyrant dictator Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti were executed with extreme prejudice for war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide. Sometimes justice gets it right. However, this is becoming less and less the prevailing outcome with the leftist libtard socialists who are every bit the insane criminals as Saddam.
