Story to be buried by the MSM. There is a run on shovels these days by the libs.

"let the Iranians give their evidence."
I work with an Iranian gal who lost her soldier-husband to an Iraqi chemical attack during the war. She would like to be on the firing squad once Saddam is convicted.

Tens of thousands of Iranians and Iraqis, perhaps hundreds of thousands, were killed by Iraqi poison gas, such as these civilian victims, with WMD weapons that that the democrat party says do no exist.

Iranian soldier poisoned by Iraqi WMD, in this case mustard gas. But who are you going to believe, the democrat party or your own eyes?
And you better believe al Queda would release this in a heart beat in the US at your local mall if they had access.

Indeed. No punishment in this world will be enough. God will judge him.

The sad truth is that if it can't be pinned on the U.S. nobody is really that interested. Claims that Saddam only had chemical weapons because the CIA gave them to him founder on his profligate use of mustard gas, which was a purely domestic product. Therefore the latter didn't happen.
Yeah, that approach is a little tough on the victims...

I can't believe I'm rooting for Iranians but this is a very good thing.

I don't think anybody doubts that Iraq has owned and used poison gas in the past. The question is did he have stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons in 2003.
The fact is that there is very little evidence that he did.

IMO, the sad truth is that it took another 15 years of similar types of incidents for the world to do anything about it.

I couldn't find anything about the iranians using gas, but I did find this interesting story.
"One of the major tactics they adopted was "human-wave" attacks. Pasdaran forces and Basij volunteers as young as 9 years old were used to sweep pver over minefields and entrenched positions developed by the more professional Iraqi military. The Iranians lacked the equipment to breach Iraqi minefields and having realtively few few tanks did not want to put them at rusk. The Iranian clergy this relied heavily on human-wave tatics, often involving children who were apparently considered expendable. One East European journalist reports seeing "tens of thousands of children, roped together in groups of about 20 to prevent the faint-hearted from deserting, make such an attack." A HBC reader writes, "Not only Iranian boys were sent against the Iraqi possitions, but also a large number of girls. The Mullahs who stayed safely in the mosques told the children that they would go to paradise. For the Mullahs girls were of little consequence." A reader reports, "I remember television and newspaperreports at the time. Before going to her sacrifice, the Mullahs gave the children a paradise key as a symbol of martyrdom . The number of these girls killed were very substatial. Their special assignment was mine clearance at the front lines. The boys were more commonly used in human wave assaults on Iraqi positions."
