After 9/11 I was hopeful the American people would have been outraged, scared and mad enough to find the balls to do what was necessary to fight the insidious enemy. But it would seem that we as a nation lack the guts or attention span required.
I guess it will have to get a lot worse before a concerted effort can be undertaken but it will cost hundreds of thousands of American lives. I hope it won't be too late.

Cripes, that troll 'Socialist' still posts there.
I remember when he thought he could come here to play.

Big time.
And they don't seem to know it.

A pity there wasn't much attention paid when CS gas was used on civilians at Waco.

They never do.
That's the beauty of PW.
They just allow these idiots to ramble on endlessly, until they've punched themselves out.
I wonder how many posts Soci-the ne plus ultra of clueless forum trolls-got in here before being ZOTted.

Hey! I worked for Praxair Semiconductor and our two biggest products were arsine gas, (arsenic derivative) and phosphene, (phosphorous gas). These are the two dopants used to make computer processor chips and memory chips.
The Al Quaeda have a chip on their shoulders so maybe they need alittle doping!!!
It all adds up 10101 +1 = 10110!

There was a thread here about the US using Israeli bullets until some Congressman thought they might be offensive. He wanted us to only use them for target practice.

Yeeek.
Too bad they can't smack Twiw just for existing, sorta give them a time out every now and then to let them get some fresh air and exercise.

She was banned three previous times.
That must be some kind of record for PW trolls.

Willie Pete is a standard round for mortar crews. They use it to make smoke screens mainly but also to set fire to some targets. A 'shake and bake' is a fire for effect where HE (high explosive) and WP are both used.
Using WP is routine as far as I am aware. I'm amazed this is getting any media coverage.

white phosphorous shells are a standard weapon used by field artillery units and are not banned by any international weapons convention to which the U.S. is a signatory.

Personally, when I see that picture, I just wish one little item would drop on that group. Just one bomb, weighing less than 1,000 LB.
A B-61.
Those in the know understand what a B-61 is. Let's just say, that a whole fleet of bombers, loaded to the hilt with willy pete, would look like a child's cap(for a capgun) compared to a B-61, set to the LOWEST yield!!

It is a war. and in war, people get killed, and things get broken.
War is hell. We all now that. But, WHY is it so hard, for the DUmmies to understand, that if we don't fight them over THERE, they will be using things against us HERE, that are a lot more dangerous, than phosphorus

Willie Pete, just like napalm usually sucks the air out of their lungs and then burns them and then they die. That is what those two are designed to do. BTW it really can smell good in the morning!!

I don't understand how using a smoke screan is illegal
WP isnt just smoke it is a mass of burning phosphorous metal that happens to produce a lot of white smoke. It is generally used as a marking round but also burns anything it touches. The old Viet Nam Era phrase, Bring P on them meant something more than simply marking the position for artillery or air strikes.
That said, I am all in favor of using Willie Peter. .
