U.S. uses napalm gas in Fallujah Witnesses | ||

The U.S. military is secretly using banned napalm gas and other outlawed weapons against civilians in the Iraqi city of Fallujah, eyewitnesses reported. Residents in Fallujah reported that innocent civilians have been killed by napalm attacks, a poisonous cocktail of polystyrene and jet fuel which makes the human body melt. Since the U.S. offensive started in Fallujah earlier this month, there have been reports of melted bodies which proves that the napalm gas had been used. "Poisonous gases have been used in Fallujah," 35-year-old Fallujah resident, Abu Hammad said. "They used everything -- tanks, artillery, infantry, and poisonous gas. Fallujah has been bombed to the ground." Hammad was living in the Julan district of Fallujah which witnessed some of the heaviest attacks. Other residents of that area also said that banned weapons were used. Abu Sabah, said; They used these weird bombs that put up smoke like a mushroom cloud then small pieces fall from the air with long tails of smoke behind them." He said that pieces of these strange bombs explode into large fires that burn the skin even when water is thrown on the burns. Phosphorous arms and the napalm gas are known to have such effects. "People suffered so much from these," Abu Sabah said. Fallujah almost gone Kassem Mohammed Ahmed, who fled Fallujah last week, said that he witnessed many atrocities committed by U.S. troops in the shattered city. "I watched them roll over wounded people in the street with tanks," he said. "This happened so many times." Another Fallujah resident Khalil (40) said that Fallujah is suffering too much, it is almost gone now." He added that refugees are in a miserable situation now, "It's a disaster living here at this camp," Khalil said. "We are living like dogs and the kids do not have enough clothes." In many refugee camps around Fallujah and Baghdad, people are living without enough food, clothing and shelter. Relief groups estimate that there are more than 15,000 refugee families in temporary shelters outside Fallujah. Blair under fire over the use of napalm On Saturday, Labor MPs have demanded that British Prime Minister confront the Commons over the use of the deadly gas in Fallujah. Halifax Labor MP Alice Mahon said: "I am calling on Mr. Blair to make an emergency statement to the Commons to explain why this is happening. It begs the question: 'Did we know about this hideous weapon's use in Iraq?'" Furious critics have also demanded that Blair threatens the U.S. to pullout British forces from Iraq unless the U.S. stops using the worlds deadliest weapon. The United Nations banned the use of the napalm gas against civilians in 1980 after pictures of a naked wounded girl in Vietnam shocked the world. The United States, which didn't endorse the convention, is the only nation in the world still using the deadly weapon. |
What a piece of S*it article.
They are both gonna "melt"
It would take gas chromatography to settle the matter.
So9
I wouldn't put it past 'em to use it on their own and blame the U.S
If only it were true many more marines would be alive today.
Don't know whether it is a gas or a liquid but, IIRC, in the morning it smells like victory.
It's actually more scary than funny if you ask me. The extent to which those people's brains are fried is mind blowing.
The last of the U.S. stock of napalm weapons were drained and the jellied gasoline was thinned and destroyed by a company in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. That was finished back in early 2001, IIRC.
Halifax Labor MP Alice Mahon said: "I am calling on Mr. Blair to make an emergency statement to the Commons to explain why this is happening. It begs the question: 'Did we know about this hideous weapon's use in Iraq?'"
So it has been confirmed, they did use these hideous weapons.
Yeah, I believe this MP Mahon as much as I believe Kassem Mohammed Ahmed. I would take a small guess this MP Mahon is against the war in Iraq, just a guess....
I wouldn't put it past AJ to make the story up from whole cloth.
These people make Dan Rather look fair and balanced...
I doubt there are any portable GC's running around Iraq.....
Well all I know I won't allow the stuff in my house.
Look at the head on that baby. It looks almost like the face of a man.
LOL, but at the risk of looking stupid, what is exactly is "IIRC"?
British MPs automatically believe Al-Jazeera? Labour buffoons... I wonder if Blair in his heart of hearts wishes he was a Tory (well EU lover that he is, probably not)?
He certainly is a mixed bag, isn't he?
Col. Kilgore: You smell that? Do you smell that?... Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like... victory. Someday this war's gonna end...
"Civilians", huh? Fallujah is not a good place for civilians to be right now, anyway.
As for the insurgents, fry 'em, boys. It's crispy critter time.
