The more dead Lebanese the better for the propaganda of the Islamic terrorists. I really wouldn't put it past them to lob a few of their own bombs into Lebanon. They have absolutely no remorse when it comes to murdering their own for the overall good of their sacred jihad.

Exactly. It's a "Willy Pete" (White Phosphorous) round. It generate extreme heat. This is not a WMD.

N.B.: Phosphorus is used as a smoke round, not an illumination round. Phosphorus can also be used to ignite munitions and other supplies that burn.
Magnesium is used for illumination.
Because phosphorus burns, it does provide some illumination at night, until the smoke cloud covers it.
I would suggest we are seeing casualties generated here by burning Hezboobo munitions (phosphorus, rocket motors, etc.).

Simple! These chemical bombs must contain alum.
What's the old joke about convincing your girlfriend to use alum and Kentucky Fried Chicken batter? Make it up tight and finger licking good?

I would think that bodies have a tendency to do that when they become "crispy critters". It's a matter of the water evaporating off.

Dang! If the RATS are holed up in their OWN 'weapon' bunker, when it goes, THEY will be the ones affected by THEIR own weapons!

Killed by Israeli air raids, the Lebanese dead are charred in a way local doctors, who have lived through years of civil war and Israeli occupation, say they have not seen before. Stupid dumb crap. If it is really something they never saw before maybe they should check and see what munitions the terrorist have that we are blowing up in the raids. Damn, what pure a@@holes.

We were taught in basic to use Willie Pete on anything flamable. Have the Geneva rules changed in the last 20 years?

Another bunch of idiots spouting off about something they know absolutely nothing about.
Cluster bombs, WP, FAEs... all are conventional munitions. Next thing you know, the reaction will be: "(GASP!) We have evidence that the Israelis have actually used REAL BULLETS!"

BTW, is it just me or do the 'human rights' in "Human Rights Watch" only apply to terrorists, thugs, criminals and dictators?
I guess the rest of us just don't need human rights.

Lebanese President Emile Lahoud has repeatedly accused Israel of using phosphorus bombs in its offensive. This is the problem with stupid leaders and stupid journalists.
White Phosphorus is an incindiary and normal round.
Phosgene is a chemical weapon. Both have phosphorus in them.
People need to be more specific. Of course the MSN will play this so as to display the IDF in the worst possible light.

This "so-called" doctor has his head so far up his a$$ he could chew his food and s**t from the same orfice! Willie Pete (WP) does not cause burns of this type.

Dude needs a plexiglass window in his belly button for navigation. IIRC, W.P. burns holes through just about anything it touches (certainly anything organic), including flesh and bones.
Intense heat will cause a body to shrink as described; once saw a body like that, still standing, in the doorway of a C-130 that burned to the ground after crashing in the desert...
If the flames don't touch the body, the hair and clothing will still be more or less intact.

Well approximately one-third are little kids, according to most published reports from a variety of sources. The photos of the mass burials show shorter coffins, for the children, and they seem to number about one-third of the burials. While there is no guarantee that a child under 10 is not a terrorist, the majority are likely to be just kids killed accidently.
There is also no assurance that there is a child inside the coffin. And even if there is, I would hold the one who started the war responsible for the death of those children, not the ones who were attacked.
