"American jets killed Iraqi troops with firebombs – similar to the controversial napalm used in the Vietnam War..."

First guerilla warfare, now napalm. The liberal press is gleeful!

Winning is the only option and the quicker and easier you can kill the enemy the less Americans have to die. This is great news as far as I'm concerned.

"Incendiaries create burns that are difficult to treat," said Robert Musil, executive director of Physicians for Social Responsibility

Don't wanna treat 'em. Wanna kill 'em.

Maybe the DOD should switch over to the 5.56 "Nerf" round for our M16's to make the bedwetters happy. Wouldn't want to hurt anyone during a war, ya' know.

now napalm

I can't believe we're using weapons like this. If they keep it up, somebody's gonna get hurt!

Hostile troops are on/defending a bridge we need to leave in tact to advance.... we can A) fight it out and suffer losses, B)bomb the bridges with ordinance and then rebuild them slowing us dow, or C) Use lethat means to kill the defenders but leave the bridges in tact.....

This is a NO BRAINER, there is NOTHING remotely controversial about using this type of weapon in this scenario! War is ugly... always will be.. you fight, you die, things get blown up deal with it you pansy panty waste milk toast sissy leftists.

I suppose they could have dropped Hillary's pantsuit on them but she was too busy using them.

I can just see the bumper sticker from that ...
Help the Physicians for Social Responsibility in the treatment of Incendiary burns ...
Make treatment unnecessary by dropping more napalm."

They say it like it was a bad thing...

Would they have preferred it, if we killed them in hand-to-hand combat, losing thousands of US soldiers in the process?

And it isn't as if we didn't warn them.

We threw down thousands of flyers, telling the Iraqis to surrender or die, well, those that didn't surrender, died.

Any questions?
