Coalition Troops Capture ‘Conventional Ali’
(2003-08-21) — The Iraqi general formerly known as ‘Chemical Ali’ was captured this morning by Coalition troops.
However, Ali Hassan al-Majid is now officially known as ‘Conventional Ali,’ since it is common knowledge that Iraq had no chemical weapons program.
“The thousands of Iraqis and Kurds who we thought were gassed on Al-Majid’s orders, must have died from breathing the smoke of conventional weapons or perhaps sand dust,” said an unnamed Pentagon spokesman. “But Conventional Ali will still be charged with misdemeanor violations of some environmental regulations about dust control at work sites.”
