Pentagon Defends Use of Toxic White Phosphorus in Iraq

Listen to this story...

All Things Considered, November 18, 2005 · The Pentagon is defending its use of a toxic agent called white phosphorus to smoke out and capture insurgents in last year's battle for Fallujah. If ignited particles of the chemical land on a human, they can burn through flesh and bone. John Pike of GlobalSecurity.org discusses the controversy.

1. any pig who uses this horror should be left in Iraq to the mercy of

his former victims when we pull out.

2. Who's the fucking asshole military expert?

Listening to his crap makes me want to break things.

3. John Pike of GlobalSecurity.org. I have mixed feelings about them...

...at that website. They often have good (and quick) satellite pictures, but lately, the people I've heard from that site are RW Orwellian's.

4. They're part of the noise machine

especially during the terrorist alerts.

5. It's a very strange site

It's definitely right-winged and pro-military, but the weird thing is that there's a lots of detailed information, so it's a good resource, but I really don't like the spin. So the info is reliable, but be aware of the spin on that site.

6. That interview was disgusting!...

That lying pos Pike minimized the effect on civilians. Talked about their skin being "discolored" from the effects of WP. DISCOLORED?? Discolored is a bruise. I saw the Italian documentary. Corpses burned to a crisp.

He also referred to WP as an "irritant". Said if you walk away from the "smoke" you're fine. shameful!

7. Thanks for the info, do you know if the Italian Documentary is available

on-line?

Sounds like he used the typical tactic of the RW/GOP, refer to something that most have not seen or read to make his bogus point. They almost alway depend on the ignorance of their audience to trick folk to believe them.

9. Yes, here's a link...

In this thread are various links, some to English language version. What I have on my HD is a .wmv file, if that means anything. I had to download it overnight - took about 3 hours. Dial-up 'ya know. Otherwise I can't watch anything while it's buffering. Or something like that. :dunce:

8. Countdown on MSNBC has covered this 2 nights in a row.

I think that Keith is mad at the WH.
