This guy is a tool. He hates Bush admin/Republican party so much that he's willing to spread BS. Those Classified informations obviously have no factual bases but only speculations and assertions. Humans rights watch has done years of research and investigation proving Iraq carried out all attacks in Halabja. And Yes, it was a genocide. We forged facts and documents only to blame our enemy at the time (Iran), nor did we want to be seen as a nation which indirectly supported a genocide.

Did you listen carefully to what was said by dr Stephen >Research showed that the gas used in Halabja is the cyanide), according to the symptoms of the victims and examining the soil, and this (cyanide) is not owned by Iraq, but Iran, and the gases that Iraq may possess, are either mustard gas (sarin), or nerve gas, and these gases give different symptoms completely, which is less effective than (cyanide)

Porton Down is a British Military Scientific Laboratory.

Look there is a link to the declassified U.S. State Department cable on my video:

Rumsfeld meets Saddam - rare version with sound.

that clearly shows that the U.S. blocked the Iranian UN resolution condemning Saddam's use of gas in 1984. GO & READ IT.

Then read the other link, showing that America knew Saddam was using gas BEFORE THIS.

[CapitalistHolocaust]

From 5:00 onwards in the video, you can hear Pelletiere say that the study could be phony.

If you want to see actual declassified CIA & State Dept. documents stating that Saddam was using gas against Iranians & "Kurdish insurgents" on an "almost daily basis" check out the links in the video info section of my video:

Rumsfeld meets Saddam - rare version with sound.

there are also links to declassified docs showing the US blocked UN resolutions condemning Saddam's use of gas.

This is obviously a seminar of sorts, and factual info. is discussed, but the student asking questions is hell bent on trying to prove the speaker wrong based on propaganda that he's obviously gotten from TV. This refusal to acknowlege fact is the downfall of our society.

I wonder how that idiot asking the questions feels about him stupid self now?

That's idiotic. It all comes down to Bush Derangement Syndrome according to Krauthammer of PNAC which is the group that wrote Bush's policies long before they even selected him as their front man.

The battle is between DIA/CIA analysts (the supposedly more accurate group vs. politicized or covert ops), vs PNAC, Cheney's Center for Security Plcy, and Doug Feith's Office of Special Plans, hacks w pre-determined policy.

humans rights watch is a Soros-funded group. Soros is depicted on the so-called Left, with the US Democratic Party, but we know the Dems and Rethugs are really one party, and we know that Soros is on the board of Carlyle with Poppy Bush, and Soros has been leading "color revolutions" for "democracy" i.e. neo-liberal capital reforms for US banking elites.

HRW has long been a political tool, to demonize Soviets and ignore Israel, for one example. HRW withdrew their findings on 400k mass graves.

yes iraq larger than Saddam and Hammurabi and Nebuchadnezzar but they are Iraqi leaders who believed in Iraq, and tried to make a great Iraq. Maybe they made mistakes in places but we the people of Iraq see them great leaders as the greatness Iraq>and we always look forward to leader as Hammurabi and Nebuchadnezzar and Saddam Hussein

[zizigolou]

The findings aren't based on some shia pro ayatollah conference report. It's based on humans rights watch and other factual documents gathered years following the genocide. I'm sure but one day iran's mullahs will follow saddam's foot steps to hell. Listen, Iraq is larger than Saddam Hossein and you deserve better.

[vivairaqi]

You do not want to know the truth. You came 2 repeat Iran's mullahs lies,Today Iraqis, especially Kurds and Shiites know the truth about Iran's mullahs ,Also the Iranian people today shouting death to Khamenei, and burn pictures of Khomeini al djal

[vivairaqi]

Now the Iranian forces bombed Kurdish villages in northern Iraq for what?Iran kills Iraqi fishermen and prevent them from hunting and attack the people of Basra,and killing Shia Arabs in Al-Ahwaz for waht ?for helping persians gain territory inside the Kurdish and Iraqi towns.

[zizigolou]

is that your other argument?!..Really?!...of course there were Iranians not only in Halabja, there were Iranian soldiers fighting along side Kurdish and Arab (shia) in Basra as well. I don't see how this proves your argument that Iran commited a genocide against a kurdish group who happen to be helping persians gain territory inside the Kurdish and Iraqi towns.
