Italian report: U.S. forces burned Iraqi civilians
Military denies documentary’s claims of using chemical warfare in 2004

ROME - U.S. forces in Iraq have used incendiary white phosphorus against civilians and a firebomb similar to napalm against military targets, Italian state-run broadcaster RAI reported on Tuesday.

A RAI documentary showed images of bodies recovered after a November 2004 offensive by U.S. troops on the town of Falluja, which it said proved the use of white phosphorus against men, women and children who were burned to the bone.

....


The U.S. military says white phosphorus is a conventional weapon and says it does not use any chemical arms.

“Burned bodies. Burned children and burned women,” said Englehart, who RAI said had taken part in the Falluja offensive. “White phosphorus kills indiscriminately.”

It's good to see this story starting to spread.

2. They had it on French TV !

I'm watching the 8pm news on French TV France 2 and they just talked about the Italian report and showed some excerpts. At the end the French commentator said that the American media is silent about it.

4. This is a

truly horrific video and unfortunately probably only too true.
It should be honestly discussed in the Senate and the
media.

5. Since it's just a "conventional weapon" ...

This is not as bad as Saddam gassing the Kurds </sarcasm>.
