BAGHDAD, Iraq (Reuters) -- Saddam Hussein and his cousin "Chemical Ali" discussed killing thousands with chemical weapons before unleashing them on Kurds in 1988, according to tapes played on Monday in a trial of former Iraqi officials.
Nine days after Hussein's hanging, his front-row seat in the dock was conspicuously empty, but Ali Hassan al-Majeed and five other Baath party officials remained on trial for their roles in the 1988 Anfal, or Spoils of War, campaign in northern Iraq.
"I will strike them with chemical weapons and kill them all," a voice identified by prosecutors as that of Majeed, Hussein's cousin and a senior aide, is heard saying.
"Who is going to say anything? The international community? Curse the international community," the voice continued.
"Yes, it's effective, especially on those who don't wear a mask immediately, as we understand," another voice, identified as Hussein, is heard saying on another tape.
"Sir, does it exterminate thousands?" a voice asks back.
"Yes, it exterminates thousands and forces them not to eat or drink and they will have to evacuate their homes without taking anything with them, until we can finally purge them," the voice identified as Hussein answers.
...
Prosecutors said 180,000 people were killed, many of them gassed, in the Anfal campaign.
But of course, the left continues to tell us that there were no WMDs. Saddam Hussein was hanged for killing 148 people. The left howled about the injustice of it all, playing up the sympathy angle with his sisters as "victims".
This is the type of murderous thug that the left wants to excuse.
This is the type of action that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid essentially want to condone with their calls to cut off funding for the Iraq war.
This is the type of devil that the Vatican would spare because they can't believe that capital punishment was justified.
This is the type of man that France and Russia supported for decades while he defied the United Nations. This is the man that kept the gravy train rolling for U.N. ambassadors and diplomats with the Oil for Food program.
This is evil incarnate. It's just too bad he can't hang once for each of his victims.

Wake up America> trackbacked with "Camping"
Our people don't go to training camps to learn how to fight. Members of terrorist organizations do.

Since 2001, restriction in Federal funding for human embryo work has led to NEW alternative stem cell sources. Dems were angry, & Bush was right. Perri Nelson details the WMD tapes, & more wrong-sided reaction by the left.
