Well this one is a little more sinister.
The US admitted that it used phosporus on the citizens of Falluja , and that it is a legal substance.
If my memory serves me right , white phosphorus and a sticking agent is known colloquially as Napalm ?
The UK said it's troops used phosphorus as a smoke screen [ it does burn cloudy], The US stated they used it on insurgents.
methinks the US gov't is being economical with the truth here.
I was seriously worried about the news blackout during the Falluja escapade - see earlier on in this blog [probably titled falluja] as it seemed obvious to me that it had to be a repressive campaign, but I didnt think they'd napalm the city ! [just shoot loads of innocents]
Is it any wonder there is unrest there and emnity towards the yanks ?
I just cannot believe this has happened. The way that politics seems to work in the US is that just before[ maybe a couple of months] there's little rumours that dont seem to go anywhere [the govt covering its tracks hurriedly?], then it comes out big time in the end- remember Al agraib [ok so I cant spell] jail - maybe the Dick Cheney farce was to try to squash interest in this atrocity ?
