From the Age on Ali Hassan al-Majid:

In chilling words that foreshadowed the mass graves that now litter the country, he warns that the body count will be so great that Iraqi forces will have to “bury them with bulldozers”. His armies are thought to have murdered anything up to 150,000 Kurdish men, women and children….”As soon as we complete the deportations we will start attacking them everywhere according to a systematic military plan,” he says. “I will not attack them with chemicals just one day but I will continue to attack them with chemicals for 15 days.”

Maybe Saddam and Hans Blix should have insisted that he change his name to Conventional Ali. Then we would have known that all was well in Iraq.
