From al-jihad. One might as well post DU commentary as "news". BTW, if we had wanted, we could have reduced Fallujah to cinders. IMO, this would have been an improvement on the status quo. The sooner the radical Arabs learn that they are losers, that they will in fact be losers for the next thousand years minimum, the beter for them as this will prevent the rest (of us) from having to completely exterminate them, as we would cockroaches and other such infestations.

Furious critics have also demanded that Blair threatens the U.S. to pullout British forces from Iraq unless the U.S. stops using the world’s deadliest weapon.

Uhhmmm... has Aljazeera ever heard the word nuke?

[KwasiOwusu]

"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." "

Ok Ahmed, and you saw the infidels consume Iraqi flesh as well did you?
These Islamic terrorists are such liars, and such pathetic, cowardly weasels too.
Just a few weeks ago, this very Kassem Mohammed Ahme and his terrorist pals were busy slitting the throats of innocent American men on video, boasting about how ruthless and tough they were. Today he is now coming around whining about his terrorist vermin pals getting slaughtered?
Go tell it to Allah, creep!
We can promise all Iraqi terrorist scum more death ,and destruction to be visited upon them.

"We are living like dogs and the kids do not have enough clothes."

Gee, I've seen the pictures of the huge weapons stockpiles, the stacks of mortars, the RPGs piled like cordwood, even the pallet-loads of radios used to create remotely-triggered IEDs. Maybe they haven't been spending their money wisely.

[KwasiOwusu]

"Furious critics have also demanded that Blair threatens the U.S. to pullout British forces from Iraq unless the U.S. stops using the world’s deadliest weapon."

The right answer to these loony left, American-hating, ugly Labour MP's? STEP UP the use of the deadliest weapons we have, to root out and kill the evil Islamic terrorist scum.
Those clowns are going to die, one way or another.
I don't really care how they die.
These Labour MP's can of course go jump over a very sharp cliff..with plenty of hard stones below it.

We also used up the last of the napalm stocks in the 80s in training exercises under controlled conditions.

Some unsafe quantities might have been reserved until 2001, but that was because the stocks were no longer deployable even on the weapon systems deploying them after the early 90s.

Doesn't matter too much if they were outlawed or not,...the last manufacturer of them stopped producing them in the 70s, ..Dow Corning, I believe.

"U.S. uses napalm gas in Fallujah "

Wait, just wait, until they start using the "Red Mercury".

[sailor4321]

I really don't know why we aren't using flamethrowers. Seems to me that they were very effective when used against strongpoints such as those encountered in Falluja... In Vietnam, napalm bombs were useful for ensuing an area was "clear" of hostiles...

[Bush2000]

On Saturday, Labor MPs have demanded that British Prime Minister confront the Commons over the use of the deadly gas in Fallujah.

What a bunch of hypocritical a-holes. It's okay for these Sunni bastards to run around, blow up civilians, cut off peoples' heads, assassinate police officers and military recruits ... but these jerkoffs are so bloated with political bloodlust that all they can think about is exploiting unsupported rumors from less than credible sources...

[HiTech RedNeck]

Perhaps less applicable in Iraq because underground bunkers are easier in a land of sand than a land of jungle.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Maybe they are using the term "gas" because that's what gasoline is normally called in America, in their attempt to call to mind a vivid image of a cruel inferno. But if so, this propaganda attempt (which is probably false anyhow) comes across to us as nonsensical Engrish.

[petertare]

Napalm I wish. The American death toll in Iraq would be significantly lower had napalm, and flame-throwers (zippos) been employed. Why shoot endlessly at a punk in the rubble, putting your guys down, when you could barbecue him quicker than a crow in a campfire? WW2 grunts found it to be the weapon of choice in caves, buildings, pillboxes and rubble. They did not see the rationale in needlessly dying for all the PC reasons we seem to be so acceptable toward in these most modern of times

A zippo up a minaret would have been a jihad enema fitting of the occasion.

[geopyg]

I'm trying to figure out how these "innocent civilians" are being eyewitness to anything. They had their chance to leave.

The only pictures I've seen of bodies charred beyond belief were those hanging from the bridge in Falluja last spring.

[Smokin' Joe]

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

There might be, connected with the oil industry.

[Squeako]

New napalmolive really gets the dirt out. It really works.

Madge orders the use of Napalmolive in Iraq; Al Jazeera claims dead insurgents "soaked in it".

[jslade]

bttt

[DuncanWaring]

Last I heard, napalm doesn't "melt" humans, it "chars" them.

[aculeus]

Unfortunately, the audience for this garbage believes it.

Prediction: before this war ends Al-Jazerra will be eliminated by our military.

[LoudRepublicangirl]

It's a shame we can't use Napalm on Al Jazera. As for the photo, how do we know this isn't a photo from Gaza or any other Islamic community that sends it's children toward Israeli people with bombs strapped on them.

[Baytovin]

...hmmm, I was WONDERING where Baghdad Bob ended up working.
