Blast from the Past
Someone wanted to see these.
This from Gulf War 1. I got there right before the US Army. People were mad at us — seems they were promised a lot of help if they rebelled against Saddam.
They didn’t get what they asked for, but our local group started an aid program.
Below is from a few years earlier. I was called to go see “what was going on” in Halapce.
What we found was thousands of people running for their lives from Saddam’s “gassing of his own people.” Afterwards, there was no interest in Washington.
Saddam was our guy back then - Iran’s enemy.
He wasn’t gassing anybody, they said.
