Yes, and we knew they were killing Kurds and looked the other way while
they were doing it during the 80's.

Except that the gas attacks on Kirkuk came about *after* we had dropped
most of our connections to Iraq, and brought about the end of the whole
deal.

Not sure what you're referring to in Kirkuk, but the largest (in terms
of deaths [5000+]) was in Halabja in 1988. What "connections" did we
supposedly drop then? And since you used the word "most" what
"connections" remained? And what did it bring and end to? Answer:
nothing but the lives of 5000+ Kurds.

Funny how in 1991, the Bush I admin (and the regime of his idiot son
years later) all of the sudden cared about Kurds. WTF were they when the
Kurds really needed their help?

I'll tell you whe leaving Saddam alone because he was going
toe-to-toe with Iran.
