"Napalm"

[benburch]

Just bear in mind that the incendiaries used by the US Military are not called Napalm any more, and are a slightly different formulation. This will be used by the BFEE to be able to claim that "We did not use Napalm in Fallujah."

Which is a lot like The Big Dog saying "I did not have sex with that woman." Blow jobs are not technically sex...

5. Right you are!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_77_bomb

"The chemical used differs from napalm of the Vietnam War era in that it is based on kerosene and a polystyrene-like gel and reportedly contains an oxidizing agent. This will make it even more difficult to put out once ignited. The official designation of Vietnam-era napalm bombs is the Mark 47. Mk-77s are commonly referred to as napalm in US Military slang."

6. And people caught by it are "freedom fries?" disgusting. EOM.

7. The original Mark 47 (napalm) is now the new Mark 77 (napalm)

So stop saying the US is using napalm in Iraq!
