[bananas]

17. Amy Goodman will have the producer on

She's showing clips from it,
and said the producer will be on.

3. It's quite apparent.......

that the reports of the United States military using phosphorous or a new type of napalm are true. That's disgusting and unholy. I'm more ashamed with each passing day to be an American.
In an illegal and immoral war that never should have been fought our military is using the most lethal and questionable tactics in warfare since the Viet Nam war.
We've become what we were supposed to be fighting to get rid of. Saddam had nothing on us. Ruthlessness and horror are rampant within our own military, just what we were supposed to be fighting against.

5. Here is Jeff Englehart's Blog (young US soldier in the video)

He really needs some defending... his blog is being swamped by attackers of his pacifist stance.

6. He does not seem like a pacifist to me

More like a professional soldier with brains.

[dutchdemocrat]

8. Perhaps worded wrong.

In my haste...

[HysteryDiagnosis]

11. Ditto that. nt.

[pengu1n]

10. Should be on the evening news

If any more proof needed that his war is a crime of historic proportions.

Put it on the box every night for a week, then lets see if Mr and Mrs lardbutt are still so keen on the Fascists.


Words fail me.

The US and UK - after 60 years of dirty foreign policy have left the rest of the world tired, scared, and angry.

18. when will the 'Merican people wake up to this Administration

[Shallah Kali]

22. Direct link to the article - says it is a form of napalm called Mark 77

http://news.independent.co.uk/world/middle_east/article325560.ece

In a documentary to be broadcast by RAI, the Italian state broadcaster, this morning, a former American soldier who fought at Fallujah says: "I heard the order to pay attention because they were going to use white phosphorus on Fallujah. In military jargon it's known as Willy Pete.

snip

Photographs on the website of RaiTG24, the broadcaster's 24-hours news channel, www.rainews24.it, show exactly what the former soldier means. Provided by the Studies Centre of Human Rights in Fallujah, dozens of high-quality, colour close-ups show bodies of Fallujah residents, some still in their beds, whose clothes remain largely intact but whose skin has been dissolved or caramelised or turned the consistency of leather by the shells.

A biologist in Fallujah, Mohamad Tareq, interviewed for the film, says: "A rain of fire fell on the city, the people struck by this multi-coloured substance started to burn, we found people dead with strange wounds, the bodies burned but the clothes intact."

The documentary, entitled Fallujah: the Hidden Massacre, also provides what it claims is clinching evidence that incendiary bombs known as Mark 77, a new, improved form of napalm, was used in the attack on Fallujah, in breach of the UN Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons of 1980, which only allows its use against military targets.

23. US previously admitted using Mark 77 on Iraqi troops in 2003

Officials confirm dropping firebombs on Iraqi troops
Results are 'remarkably similar' to using napalm
By James W. Crawley
UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER

Hundreds of partially loaded Mark 77 firebombs were stored on pre-positioned ammunition ships overseas, Marine Corps officials said. Those ships were unloaded in Kuwait during the weeks preceding the war.

snip

During a recent interview about the bombing campaign in Iraq, Marine Corps Maj. Gen. Jim Amos confirmed aircraft dropped what he and other Marines continue to call napalm on Iraqi troops on several occasions. He commanded Marine jet and helicopter units involved in the Iraq war and leads the Miramar-based 3rd Marine Air Wing.

snip

"This additive has significantly less of an impact on the environment," wrote Marine spokesman Col. Michael Daily, in an e-mailed information sheet provided by the Pentagon.

snip

"The generals love napalm," said Alles, who has transferred to Washington. "It has a big psychological effect."

20. PHOSPHOR OVER FALLUJA:

PHOSPHOR OVER FALLUJA:
http://www.jungewelt.de/2004/11-13/001.php
(from a german newspaper report:)

- grenades with white phosphor have been fired on Falluja which created a wall of fire, burning all the time (phosphor flames can`t be stopped by water - phosphor creates fire by a chemical reaction).
- many people did melt; so enourmous is the heat
- Iraqi doctor Kamal Hadeethi told journalists of the Washington Post: »I`ve seen many people injured; the streets are full of crying people -and full of dead people: they even were melt down to the street.« Falluja residents told that all the streets are destroyed, houses are ruines, and at walls stick parts of human meat.
- white phosphor reacts simply by contact with air and creates temperatures which even make metall melt - when white phosphor burns it sets free clouds of toxic smog. therefore white phosphor can also be seen as a chemical weapon
- white phosphor was used in WW II against german cities

NAPALM IN FALLUJA:
according to: http://www.freace.de/artikel/aug2003/napalm060803.html

- it seems that the US used in this war every weapon they had - besides nukes.
- but also grenades with low radioctive uran were fired (all in all between 1000 and 2000 tons of uran-munition; in kosovo and serbia, were the US also used this weapon, cancer rate among the population nowadays is extremely high.)
- "Daisy Cutter" bombs (BLU 82)were used; effect: a fireball with radius more than one square mile; miles around this square mile the explosion creates a vacuum: so the lungs of people implode.
- according to the San Diego Union-Tribune Napalm was used against Iraqis. The Pentagon tries to manipulate and denies the use of Napalm: they don`t call it Napalm bombs today; they call it "Mark 77 Fire Bombs", wich would have only an "quite similar effect".
Officially the US destroyed all its Napalm bombs in 2001.
The speaker of the marines, Michael Daily, said, that "Mark 77 is more environment-friendly than Napalm." (Mark 77 consists mainly of cerosin - napalm consisted mainly of benzol; cerosin burns even faster)
- US-Marine Randolph Alles, who directed some Napalm attacs himself said "the Generals love Napalm because it has a big psychological effect - due to the fire ball and its typicall smell".

21. "When Kerry conceded... it was ON" - Fallujah had to wait for US election.

What we knew - is now on film.

24. Every single one of us needs to be writing our congresspeople on this:

I hope they get so many letters they have to hire extra staff to open them all!

[Christa]

25. I cannot watch it :-(

I don't have the stomach :-(

[northamericancitizen]

26. I will NOT watch people melting away

To know it is more than enough and I am weeping at the extent of atrocities war can bring.

Lets organize an other mondial Peace March.

27. OMG! What has happened to our country??

Innocent men, women and children killed and burned without thinking twice about it.

I know it is easy to comment while sitting behind a computer, but this is unbelievable! I cannot imagine what life must be like in Iraq for these poor civilians.

This documentary tore me up.

[Xenotime]

30. Exactly...

"Innocent men, women and children killed and burned without thinking twice about it."

Durbin was right. It is similar to Pol Pot or Nazis.

[Wilms]

28. kick n/t

[northamericancitizen]

29. another kick and a question

Why are some people arguing about the definition of WMD. In this particular case is it that important to know if 10, or a hundred persons die when there are close to it?

They f... melting.

Stop the WAR

[DrDebug]

31. Thanks. Shocking documentary

Horrible footage. I can't understand how people can argue about WP after seeing this.
