In our names

Please use this post’s link to view a video of Iraqi civilian casualties online at http://www.evtv1.com/index.asp-itemnum-1067 – in our names, white phosphorous is being used on Iraqi civilians. The Army has also admitted to using a napalm-like substance. Americans need to know the cost of war. OUR MEDIA WON’T TELL US!

Daily Kos quotes an army report admitting the use of white phosphorous in Fallujah. CAPT Cobb and his co-authors say they conserved their white phosphorous munitions and only used their white phosphorous when they wanted to employ lethal force. How naïve are we: do we really believe that white phosphorous was issued once and only once for the attack on Fallujah? Isn’t it logical to assume that it has been used elsewhere in Iraq? The Daily Kos article quotes one writer as saying that white phosphorous is so deadly that it kills everything within a 1/10 mile radius of where it hits.
