Well that would depend on whether you are a Kurd or not really!
You're not related to George Galloway by any chance are you? That's twice you've bigged Saddam Hussein up!

Was the alleged gassing of the Kurds real, or part of "The Dodgy Dossier"? I was against the invasion of Iraq because I didn't believe that country had anything to do with the 9/11 attack (Bin Laden was a Saudi), and because it would probably stir up more anti-Western terrorist attacks. And boy have I been proved right!

The Halabja chemical attack, also known as the Halabja Massacre or Bloody Friday, was a genocidal massacre against the Kurdish people that took place on March 16, 1988, during the closing days of the Iran–Iraq War in the Kurdish city of Halabja in Southern Kurdistan. The attack was part of the Al-Anfal campaign in northern Iraq, as well as part of the Iraqi attempt to repel the Iranian Operation Zafar 7. It took place 48 hours after the fall of the town to Iranian army and Kurdish guerrillas.
The attack killed between 3,200 and 5,000 people and injured 7,000 to 10,000 more, most of them civilians. Thousands more died of complications, diseases, and birth defects in the years after the attack. The incident, which has been officially defined as an act of genocide against the Kurdish people in Iraq,was and still remains the largest chemical weapons attack directed against a civilian-populated area in history.
So we waited until 2003 to use this to get Bin Laden, instead of 2 years later during the first Gulf War.
Another sad post from you
So it didn't happen in 2003, when Bush and Blair decided to invade Iraq! And we didn't 'get' Bin Laden for another 8 years after that, when he was found in Pakistan, not in Iraq or Afghanistan.

You never mentioned a date just the validity of the gas attack. You need to stand in a corner and give yourself a good talking to.

And to continue your poor understanding of history you may find that the 9/11 attack had more to do with the invasion of Afganistan.

We never invaded Iraq to get Bin Laden, it was the supposed weapons etc, you've got the 2 Gulf Wars and Bin Laden mixed up and your post does nothing when it's factually incorrect, Afghan was a totally different reason and there were 2 President Bush's. But hey ho conspiracy theories and incorrect facts make a much better rant!

Yes of course I know there were two President Bushes. George Bush Senior was the US President when Iraq invaded Kuwait in about 1990. Then there was a UN mandate to eject the Iraqis from Kuwait, which was Gulf War 1. In 2003 George W Bush ordered an invasion of Iraq, as far as I could see as revenge for 9/11, which was probably nothing to do with Iraq. This time there was no UN mandate, which made this war illegal. I was very much opposed to this war at the time, and wrote letters to my MP and to many newspapers, some of which were published, and also took part in the anti-war march that year. I believe we have a better case for a war against IS, but we should carefully think about the consequences and dealing with the aftermath.
