The Army used white phosphor and napalm-related MK77 in Iraq!

Those deathly chemicals burn or melt your skin, but not your clothes, a simple evidence for the use of chemical weapons.

An italian TV broadcastet this video ( in english ), which you can see here:

But be prepared to see pictures of this war that US- media never shows on TV!

Its unbelievable that humans can treat humans that way.

Did Bush ment the final freedom of death, when he was talking about bringing freedom to Iraq?

1. Using that against humans has been a "war crime" for quite awhile now.

Pretty much since they were INVENTED, actually.

But B*shCabal™'s attitude toward "WAR CRIMES"
is pretty much, "Hey, what's one more at this point?".

4. The way you treat your enemies

is the way you will be treated if it comes to the chance.

By the way: its a question of humanity, not to burn down the whole people of an area, just to get perhaps some combatants. And this in specific, when you try to tell the world, that your point of view about freedom, human rights and civilization is the key to heaven.

What right does America have to warn about Iran's WMD's? America has already proven, that it did use and will use WMD's and should be feared more than Iran!

No wonder, that Bush did not accept the international court in Den Haag! He is abusing the conventions of Geneva, and should get impeached and imprisoned like any other warmonger who did things he did. America is proving right now, that it has no right to stand above all the other countries as a kind of world police! It has failed!

I am really afraid that the suffer of the people in middle East will not be forgotten in generations! How long shall we expect and be afraid of revenge? In my opinion, they overstepped the boarder long ago, there will be hate and fear for decades, and no security is gained, only uncertainty, when the next attack may be will happen.

13. Who has the power to prosecute Dear Leader and his Clutch of

Murderous Ghouls and Thieves? :shrug:

14. Only the american civilians have

still a small chance, if they wake up and take to the streets and march for peace.

Say NO! Not in my name!

But it needs to be done soon, before the detention camps are run effectively enough and people lost their believe in the constitution completely. If that happens, and everybody is scared to express his opinion, you are in deeper trouble I guess.

Get up! Its time to go demo!

But I do not have hopes, that americans can handle this problem better than the germans could 60 years ago. You will wait too long, like the germans did too.

6. The soldiers knew it. Talk to a reurned vet. They say they "used WP

until we found out we weren't supposed to." That's a direct quote.

9. Oh, it'll burn clothes too.

Technically it's not a chemical weapon, but an incendiary.

It is banned by the Geneva Conventions. So as it turns out the only WMDs in Iraq are the ones we're using.

10. how the "mighty" have fallen

and sunk to new lows.

I am so... sad, embarrassed, ashamed, I don't know what...

"War criminal" is a too banal name for BushCo.

11. This "wp" is the mighty "Willy Pete"

or White Phosphus, the key to our "glorious victory" in Fallujah II in November 2004!

The story broke open and was verified by soldiers training at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. The field training magazine showed the techniques used.

Basically, the artillerymen would fire rounds of white phosphorus into the air which, as a powder would spread over blocks like talcum powder. An accompanying round of incinediary material would be fired into the falling phorphorus and "Whoof!!". Everything was set afire at 3000 degrees. This technique was referred to as "Shake'n'Bake"!

There are still (I imagine) photos on line. They are horrendous. The white phosphorous, whether set afire or not, burned anything with water in it. Say, human flesh and the like.

15. Why did this not result in detentions? n/t

12. This is terrorism at its worst. State sponsored terrorism that used the

most dreadful, horrific weapons against a civilian population. The hypocrisy of this Govt knows no bounds and its cruelty seems to know no ends.
I think that the peace movement as a whole has erred on the side of caution in showing the horrors of war.
