Last I saw, the report by the CIA said those gassed Kurds were killed by
a
chemical in the IraNian arsenal, not the IraQi arsenal. Convenient that
that
CIA report is almost never mentioned. I agree, Saddam was a pig and a
murderer, but in that one famous case that they love to show on the news,
he
was apparently not the guilty party.

The reports I saw indicated that a nerve agent, mustard, and hydrogen
cyanide were used on the Kurds. ISTR that the Iraqis had both GA and GB,
but preferred GB. What were the differences?
