For a good laugh, follow the story link and read the reader's comments. There are a lot of good guys posting there.

The U.S. military is secretly using banned napalm gas

Isn't napalm a jelly at room temperature? And when might it have been "banned"?

[NY Attitude]

What a piece of S*it article.

[Servant of the 9]

There is no way to tell the difference between a body hit by napalm and one hit with the residue of an exploded car with a full tank and lots of plastic interior parts by looking.

They are both gonna "melt"

It would take gas chromatography to settle the matter.

I wouldn't put it past 'em to use it on their own and blame the U.S

[fooman]

If only it were true many more marines would be alive today.

[Tacis]

Don't know whether it is a gas or a liquid but, IIRC, in the morning it smells like victory.

[notfornothing]

It's actually more scary than funny if you ask me. The extent to which those people's brains are fried is mind blowing.

[Cloud William]

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.

[Peace will be here soon]

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....

[swilhelm73]

I wouldn't put it past AJ to make the story up from whole cloth.

These people make Dan Rather look fair and balanced...

[Johnny Crab]

Have any of them run it through a gas anataomy?(jest kidding)

I doubt there are any portable GC's running around Iraq.....

[KoRn]

I still can't believe we allow Al-Jazeera to boadcast. THEY ARE AN ENEMY PROPAGANDA MACHNINE!!! We should have taken out their satellites like, two years ago.

[Valin]

Well all I know I won't allow the stuff in my house.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Look at the head on that baby. It looks almost like the face of a man.

[Slump Tester]

LOL, but at the risk of looking stupid, what is exactly is "IIRC"?

[streetpreacher]

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?

[streetpreacher]

I don't think we used napalm, but I'm sure there were certain neighborhoods in Fallujah that deserved it. Like the places where Zarqawi and his cohorts operated "slaughterhouses".

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...

[Lancey Howard]

The United Nations banned the use of the napalm gas against civilians in 1980

"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.
