FULL TITLE: Is Assad now using NAPALM on his own people? Pictures reveal horrific injuries of Syrian civilians also feared to have been targeted with phosphorous bombs
These are the horrific injuries of Syrian civilians who Bashar al-Assad's political rivals say were targeted with phosphorous bombs by the regime.
The troubled country’s opposition coalition said yesterday that the President’s forces had dropped the bombs and napalm on civilians in rural Aleppo on Monday.
It comes as Turkey sent extra aid workers trained to identify and decontaminate chemical weapons victims to its border with Syria after an apparent poison gas attack in Damascus a week ago.
‘We have increased our measures significantly since last week, to be prepared particularly in case of a chemical attack,’ said Mustafa Aydogdu, of the Disaster and Emergency Management Directorate.
‘We have experts who could deal with chemical attacks and we have deployed almost all of them in Kilis, Hatay and Sanliurfa,’ he added, naming Turkish border cities housing dozens of refugee camps.

Gentlemen, your presence is requested...
How sure are we that it is Assad and not the Al Qaeda supported rebels who did this?
Gotta agree with you Seek.
We don’t know who did this.
Thanks Sarge!!
Phosporous and napalm act differently.
It doesn’t look like the results of Napalm to me. Phosphorus bombs are not napalm bombs. Napalm is jellied gasoline, when it is dropped, a small explosive charge disperses and ignites the gasoline which will stick to whatever it hits and burn like you would expect.
White phosphorus is used as a marking round and the particles burn quite brightly and intensely. It usually produces small burns on the skin that can go very deep as the phosphorus is difficult to extinguish.
The question remains...what makes this ANY of our business????
I will be the first to say, I love the smell of Napalm in the morning.
My first question is: How many bombers does Syria own? I don’t know. Can they fly them?
I just posted the article I did not write it. All I know is some muzzies have strange burns on them that did not come from a house fire.
White phosphorus is not NAPALM. The chemistry is totally different. WP makes burns similar to a match head, while NAPALM is essentially a gasoline fire.
Sometimes, jellied gasoline is just the thing...
I fear we are returning to those glorious proxy wars of the last century.
But instead of being led by patriots against Communism, we are led by an illegitimate, bisexual, Marxist Kenyan Muslim Usurper.
God forgive these United States.
The Middle East is the US’ business. I bet the strategy is to control control the Mediterranean and then move east toward Iran to relieve it of her nuclear weapons. Think of the pressure this would relieve on Israel and Lebanon if Iranian tentacles are cut off in Syria.
“Phosporous and napalm act differently.”
Am beginning to think the author of this story does not know the difference.
Certurion316 isn’t phosporous something the Israelis us a lot?
Exactly! Muslim on Muslim crime.
Isn't there a chance rebels got this from stockpiles in Egypt and Libya?
So what burned these people?
