‘Chemical Ali’ To Be Hanged Within 30 Days.

from www.liveleak.com posted with vodpod

Ali Hassan al-Majid was an important powerbroker in Saddam Hussein’s Iraq. He was known as “Chemical Ali” for his role in alleged gas attacks on northern Iraq, during the offensive against the Kurds in 1988.

He was convicted on 24 June 2007 of genocide in the so-called Anfal campaign of 1988 and sentenced to death by hanging.

His execution was finally approved by Iraq’s presidency in February 2008, after a delay of several months because of legal wranglings.

Konservo,
Today is a very upsetting day. My Boss has officially been replaced by her collegaue in India. I have to travel next week to India to meet this jerk. Globalization is just a big threat as the Jihad. Bush doesn’t care about American workers and neither does Obama or McCain.
Both Parties have sold us out.
