The book "No True Glory" which is an extensive account of the liberation of Fallujah, and a very fair-minded accounted showing our follies as well as our triumphs, makes no mention of the "massive use of phosphorous" against anyone, much less civilians. This charge comes from a Eurotrash newspaper. We know their agenda. What would it gain us to even use phosphorous against civilians? Nothing. Not to mention, there were not many civilians left in Fallujah by the time we went in last November because we gave them weeks of warnings to get out. And with them, many of the terrorist vermin escaped with them. What other military power would do that?

I don't know, this just goes to prove we need to stop waging a P.C. war because we'll be attacked by the Eurovermin and other leftist fools no matter what we do, whether we hurt our own interests by giving so many warnings even the terrorists get away or if we just go in with both barrels blazing and don't care who gets wacked.

I would hardly call the US Army's Field Artillery Magazine a "Eurotrash newspaper".

From the USA FA Magazine (linked to above):
"WP proved to be an effective and versatile munition. We used it for screening missions at two breeches and, later in the fight, as a potent psychological weapon against the insurgents in trench lines and spider holes when we could not get effects on them with HE. We fired 'shake and bake' missions at the insurgents, using WP to flush them out and HE to take them out."

To be honest, it doesn't bother me at all that a US Army publication openly admits to it - I would much rather we use WP than suicide bombers, and I'd rather we fight them in Iraq with anything and everything including WP, than fight them in the US.
