Saddam Discussed Killing Thousands of Kurds in 1980's

BAGHDAD, Iraq — Saddam Hussein had been dead nine days but his voice resounded through the courtroom Monday as he and his cousin "Chemical Ali" discussed killing thousands of Kurds in the 1980s, according to audiotapes played at their war crimes trial.
Prosecutor Munqith al-Faroon aired graphic video during Monday's court session of scores of bodies in trucks and in piles on the street, overlaid with a voice purported to be that of al-Majid saying "I will hit them with chemical weapons."
"Damn the international community if they say anything. I will strike them all with chemical weapons," the voice continued.
Another audiotape had the alleged voice of Saddam warning, "These weapons are only used at my orders." He also reassures colleagues that the weapons "kill by the thousands."
"It will force them out of their homes without water or food. It makes them evacuate their homes naked," the voice said.
IMO:
I know the butcher of Baghdad is already rotting in hell, but I cant help thinking this animal will go down in history as the worst killer in the history of man.
