As for the civilians, they all had the chance to leave the AO. Those that stayed, as demonstrated, wanted the fight. They lost.

"I had gathered testimonials on the use of phosphorous and Napalm in Iraq from several refugees from Fallujah, and wanted to tell the world about it, but my kidnappers would not allow me to," said Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrena, held hostage in Iraq earlier this year, during the documentary.

Somehow, I think the only way this person got away un-beheaded was if they told this cockamee story.

"I heard the order being issued to be careful because white phosphorous was being used on Fallujah," says one former US solider, interviewed by the documentary's director, Sigfrido Ranucci.
**This is him August 22, 2005
Hunter Stockton Thompson took his final trip Saturday.
Jeff Englehart of Grand Junction recently returned from a tour of duty in Iraq. Now an anti-war advocate, the veteran said that while serving he started a blog, www.ftssoldier.blogspot.com, that was dedicated to, among others, Thompson. Before Thompson killed himself Feb. 20, Englehart's goal was to come to the tavern to meet the author and thank him. The writer's death came before the soldier's tour ended.

"It was sad, but he lived his life on his own terms," he said. "We're here to say goodbye to a friend, even though we never met him."

Note how he spells his last name in his blog: "ENGELHARDT" Interests: FOR THE CAUSE:Special thanks goes out to Randi Rhodes, Iraqi Veterans Against the War, for their undying support.

Since when has Willi-Pete been a Chem-weapon?

It isn't. Following from the Convention on Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and use of Chemical Weapons and their Destruction...

1. "Chemical Weapons" means the following, together or separately:

(a) Toxic chemicals and their precursors, except where intended for purposes not prohibited under this Convention, as long as the types and quantities are consistent with such purposes;

(b) Munitions and devices, specifically designed to cause death or other harm through the toxic properties of those toxic chemicals specified in subparagraph (a), which would be released as a result of the employment of such munitions and devices;

(c) Any equipment specifically designed for use directly in connection with the employment of munitions and devices specified in subparagraph (b).

2. "Toxic Chemical" means:

Any chemical which through its chemical action on life processes can cause death, temporary incapacitation or permanent harm to humans or animals. This includes all such chemicals, regardless of their origin or of their method of production, and regardless of whether they are produced in facilities, in munitions or elsewhere.

No WP or incendiary in the convention...

The UK article from the Independent is even worse... it treats the story like it is factual rather than alledged...

" US forces 'used chemical weapons' during assault on city of Fallujah


Powerful new evidence emerged yesterday that the United States dropped massive quantities of white phosphorus on the Iraqi city of Fallujah during the attack on the city in November 2004, killing insurgents and civilians with the appalling burns that are the signature of this weapon."

I just got finished watching this "documentary".

It reminded me of the 60 Mminutes interview with Joe Wilson.

It's hard to believe this passes for journalism. It looked like typical, lame, euro-communist propaganda from the 1980s.

Wait a minute. It is lame euro-communist propaganda!
