I was watching the rerun of Keith last night (which was great) and it was followed directly by Ms. Rita and Aruba.

9. And that's the only discussion
I intend to listen too. I'm sick of MSM. Genocide is taking place in Iraq and just like World War II, expect resistance from wherever.

6. Jerry Springer had a caller this a.m. who said he helped ship Weaponized
Edited on Wed Nov-09-05 03:43 PM by patrice
White Phosphorous, or something else that didn't burn the victims clothes. . . . We're talking CHEMICAL warfare here.

Or is it ANOTHER Italian HOAX!!!!!????

The soldiers are calling in "Willy Pete" = White Phosphrous connection to these particular bodies produced by Italians? is not known. " . . . burnt flesh, but un-burned clothing . . . " is problematic to say the least.

8. I think a guy called in yesterday about that too
Edited on Wed Nov-09-05 03:41 PM by jane_pippin
He said something about the clothes not burning but the skin being damaged terribly.

(I was running from one job to another at the time so I didn't quite catch it all but I think that's what he said.)

It's so horrible. All of it.

10. This is troublesome. What if it was a sort of spray of WP in suspension
Edited on Wed Nov-09-05 03:49 PM by patrice
somehow, in an inert base of some sort, and sprayed on people? How are LARGE fireworks built, to delay the burning of various packages of phosphrous?

This scares me because I've been thinking about those Anthrax Attacks of late winter 2001. Very puzzling hidden presence.

11. The way it has been described sounds more like:
using canisters of WP with time-delay fuses. "Shake and Bake," was the term I have heard - they burn insurgents out of bunkers and spider holes and then use HE to finish them off when visible.

Interesting about the clothes - does this mean for certain that WP was used? I have heard that WP ignites more fiercely when water is present, but this does not necessarily mean that incendiary WP will not burn anything else.

I have seen WP burn lots of other stuff, firsthand. Tents, uniforms, and, of course FLESH and LUNGS (the latter two having a lot of H2O). Incredibly HATEFUL stuff when misused, but also an incredibly useful CHEMICAL when used in tracers, illumination rounds, para-flares, etc. Good in anti-tank ammo, apparently, though I have not seen it used as such.

12. It means precisely that.
The photos of bodies from Fallujah show intact clothing and arabic-style prayer beads and jewellry........but horribly, horribly burned bodies, mostly of women and children and what appear to be old men.

It is a war crime.

Those weapons have been banned by everyone except the US. It's more than slightly hypocritical to lecture everyone else about their rights and responsibilities when you are engaging in what amounts to genocide on a people who have not attacked you and could not do the US harm.
