It is well recorded that the Kurds in Halabja in 1988 were killed by Iranians using cyanide, which the Iraqis never had or used.
The US did not care or investigate at the time, and just decided to blame Saddam 3 years later when they needed to lie about him.
The force Saddam lead was entirely made up of Kurds, so could not possibly have been the ones to use poison gas on the Kurds in Halabja.
Do some research for once, instead of just parroting propaganda that has been discredited for decades.

Baseless BS bereft of any fact. Saddam was a Sunni hell bent on the destruction of the Kurds who had been fighting for their own autonomy since the turn of the 19th/20th centuries and who had been on the winning side of the allies in both WWI and WWII and still got screwed by the great powers when new maps were drawn after both wars.

In attempting to condemn Vladimir Putin's invasion of the Ukraine, George W Bush, while giving a recent speech at an Institute in his name, has a lovely oops moment.

Or was it really an admission of guilt ?

That is not at all true.
Saddam never had any deadly WMD, and at best he had the irritant, mustard gas.
The civilians gassed in Halabja were killed by cyanide, by Iranians.
Saddam did not even have any ground forces there, and he was allied with the Kurds on the ground.
So there is no way Saddam could have used WMD on Halabja.
Nor was there any need, since the Iranian had already left.
And Saddam was allied with the Kurds at that point, not trying to exterminate them.

{...
‘Most of the casualties in Halabjah were reportedly caused by cyanogen chloride. This agent has never been used by Iraq, but Iran has shown interest in it. Mustard gas casualties in the town were probably caused by Iraqi weapons because Iran has never been noted using that agent.’[9]

Actually Saddam Hussein did have Anthrax missiles .......Donald Rumsfeld the Reagan Administration sold them to him in the early 80s but never used them against Iran.

Try the History forum. It should be noted that the 9-11 terrorists were attending flight school in Florida while Clinton was bombing Yugoslavia. Clinton's Asst. A.G. issued an order to the CIA and the FBI that they would be prosecuted if they shared information. What was that all about?

If you are a person like me and you remember what you saw not what you were told to see, then you realize just how tragic George W. Bush’s latest gaffe is. Bush must have been drinking sodium pentothal as he uttered the actual truth the other day. If anyone wonders what led to the deaths of nearly 3,000 Americans at the World Trade Center in 2001, they now know. Let’s wind the clock back to 1990 when Bush’s father, George HW. Bush, dispatched US ambassador to Iraq April Glaspie, to meet with Saddam Hussein who was massing troops along the Border of Kuwait. Bush wanted Glaspie to find out What Saddam what planning.

Saddam came up with some story about Kuwait stealing Iraqi oil and that he had had enough of it. Saddam was looking for permission to invade Kuwait and take its oil for himself. Saddam assumed that because he had acted as a counterbalance to Iran and had been provided with chemical and biological weapons by the Bush administration some of which he used to exterminate Kurds, that the US would condone his invasion. He expected only some diplomatic noise as he rolled into Kuwait.

Glaspie, a long-time member of the Foreign Service, who knew full well how important diplomatic language is in sensitive potentially dangerous situations, then told Saddam that the US “Has no opinion on Arab-Arab conflicts” which Saddam interpreted as “By all means, go ahead and take Kuwait, we will not do anything”. Saddam invaded Kuwait a few days later and the Gulf War ensued. Glaspie has never been held responsible for her ineptitude and the millions of deaths that incompetence led to and neither has Bush the Elder. By the way, the incident is likely the seed that spawned the first attack on the World Trade Center in 1993 which failed to take down the structure.

In 2001 Bush the younger was elected and the second attack on the World Trade Center utterly leveled it with skyjacked domestic airliners killing thousands. Nearly all the skyjackers were from Saudi Arabia; none had any connection to Iraq. When Bush told the American people that the people who had done this would hear from us very soon, they scratched their heads as Bush decided to attack Iraq that had nothing to do with the attack on American soil. Bush ignored the Saudi connection and promptly crafted a plan to attack Saddam Hussein under the pretense that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction that Bush assumed must have still existed because his father had given them to Iraq years before.

The Entire Iraq war had nothing to do with weapons of mass destruction. It was to distract attention away from Saudi Arabia, the real culprit and to cover up the ineptitude of Bush’s father who was the one responsible for all the death and bloodshed that followed. The war in Iraq was to protect the legacy of the Bush’s.

Talk about irony. Bush blurted it out nationally. It was no Freudian slip; the truth jumped from his lips.

Is George W. Bush's latest gaffe his worst of all time?

A lot of Iraqis died so Bush could save his father's legacy and a lot of Americans died at the World Trade Center for the same reason. Bush is a consummate Washington professional educated at the usual schools that produce professional hacks like Clinton, Obama and himself. It is entirely understandable why someone would want to assassinate him. What a pity that the great endumbening of the US keeps Americans in the dark. This is why we are hated the world over.

I love how the Left think Hillary is so stupid she fell for a Bush lie while she had a DC contact list of thousands of allies working in DC to get a second opinion.
