Dec 19, 2011 - Kurds genocide. How many Iraqis were imprisoned? But he killed them quietly because he did not have a army of journalists dumbass. Keep supporting Hamas and Hezbolla whos wounds are entirely self inflicted. How about Hezbolla getting out of lebanon who were the only one to let them in after SADDAM killed more of palestinians then the Israelis did. DUMBASS!!
