US forces 'used chemical weapons' during assault on city of Fallujah

"The documentary, entitled Fallujah: the Hidden Massacre, also provides what it claims is clinching evidence that incendiary bombs known as Mark 77, a new, improved form of napalm, was used in the attack on Fallujah, in breach of the UN Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons of 1980, which only allows its use against military targets."

They used everything but the kitchen sink.
They destroyed the country.
They poisoned the water.
They poisoned the air.
They poisoned the land.
They targeted hospitals.
They targeted food storage facilities.
They destroyed the infrastucture.
They killed 1 million Iraqis. The U.S. does not keep count and estimates the number at 100,000.
They left behind 5 million orphans.
Democracy Now is an excellent site to visit if you want to know the destruction the U.S. has caused in Iraq.
