I hope you note the companies and countries which supplied Iraq with chemical weapons
(and biological and nuclear engineering components ...)

the United States, Britain, Germany prominent among them.

Invite

Don't forget to invite the MAB, the SWP and other apologists for Saddam.
A lot of the anti-war protestors don't know anything about the nature of Saddam's Baath regime. If they didn't protest against the massacre at Halabcha, or the elimination of thousands of leftist activists, they have no right to protest against the recent invasion.

I would like to invite you to visit some Iraqi displaced people camps

Nice post. It's your usual level of intellectual response.

What exactly did you disapprove of this time?

You are a survivor oh really? Well how come you know so little of the facts then? The gas attack on Halabja was carried out by the Iranians and/or Mossad not Saddam. Another MI6 tw^t poster.

come to the exhibiton and I will show you who did what,and if I ever sue a company or goverment who will be the targets!

if you are REAL anti-war people YOU should be the first person to attend and say NO to WHOEVER did it! but if you are anti-Kurdish then continue your comments.

I got loads of info about WHO DID it, WHO SUPPLIED the materials and so on.

who is abu no Brain?

14.03.2005 20:22

abu No brain, means
the Father of No Brain,
now let me translate of the Quran which was sent to YOU,
"the arabs are more infidels and HIPOCRATS" you know it in Arabic, dont you?

normally i wouldnt talk to people like you Haider but let me just tell you this:

your master Saddam is now in prison and your other master Chemical Brain Ali will be indicted by Kurdish judges, no matter if another 20 judges be assasinated!

there is no place for your Racist Arab feeling in UK, you can go and be a RACISIST anti-war protester in Baghdad not in UK, I bet you have fled them, too. Abu Racist-Brain

seriously

I must have missed something.

bag o slack- survivors of attacks like this don't necessarily know who committed this crime. Why do you pretend that survivors always know?

And your Saddam-sucking sources show your MAB-loving tendencies. When the whole world can see the extent of Saddam's crimes, there are still a surprising number of fools supporting him.

Lavik, I agree that companies and governments that supplied these weapons need to be taken to court. But why am I a racist? I am really confused.

All I said was that the baath had committed thousands of crimes before and after Halabcha. People don't have the right to probe Halabcha and ask questions (was it the Mossad- yeah right, because the Mossad was sooo scared of some Kurdish villagers)- when all they want to do is to look fashionable. It is easy to protest Halabcha, but what about the other thousands of Kurdish civilians who were killed by the Baath? What about the thousands of Iranian teenage soldiers who were gassed? What about other Iraqis?

Halabcha wasn't an isolated incident- it was part of a planned policy of the murderous Baath. We heard about Halabcha because of the hard work and civilised behaviour of some journalists.

Abu Burkan


not you Abu Burka

16.03.2005 00:31

if you re-read my comment, and re-read Haider's comment then you see that i was refering to your name, but to his Abu No-Brain expression

yes i agree with you, but all I can present is my part! others should stand for their parts, too!
