The former commander of Iraq's Republican Guard has accused the US of using non-conventional weapons in its war against the Middle East country.

Saifeddin Fulayh Hassan Taha al-Rawi told Al Jazeera that US forces used neutron and phosphorus bombs during their assault on Baghdad airport before the April 9 capture of the Iraqi capital.

Al-Rawi is one of the most wanted associates of Saddam Hussein, the deposed Iraqi leader, still on the run.

"The enemy used neutron and phosphorus weapons against Baghdad airport... there were bodies burnt to their bones," he said.

...and know this, folks: If an Arab says it on al-Jazeera, it’s considered undeniable, unquestionable “fact” to the average Arab on the street......sad as that is.

Yes, there are neutrons in the bombs and shells. Trillions of neutrons.

A weapon not used is just a wasted weapon.

I thought we only deployed these weapons when Saddam unleashed his giant spiders.

Spontaneous combustion. It happens to radical Muslims all the time. Sometimes, they even explode.

Bwahahaha! The fools do not even know of Dick Cheney’s Ultimate Death Ray of Doom!(*)

(*) Which is in the dark castle tower, guarded by the Black Knight and his hideous troll army, which can only be reached by passing through the forest of darkness and the desert of despair, after retrieving the medallion that hangs about the neck of the dragon Znarg.

Does the guy know what a neutron bomb would do?

An unconventional enemy calls for unconventional methods to fight him.

This of course coincides with their ongoing campaign of launching chemical mortar attacks against civilians.
