Sounds like the Iraqis fired just a few rounds to get their
co-ordinates just precisely right and waited for the ambush.

I would have to see some kind of clear, undeniable, multiply verified proof of napalm being used before I would believe it, and such proof should be forthcoming if the stuff has indeed been revived (it's pretty hard to conceal). Murdoch is clearly a lefty of the Fisk school ("massacre" indeed!). I smell a planted myth and another conspiracy theory in the making here.

The Marine Sgt was right...we told them to surrender.

Not a massacre when the inferior force opens the ball.

"I pity anybody who's in there," a marine sergeant said. "We told them to surrender." Just shows the difference between the US Military and any other. Do any other armies give their enemies the chance to surrender?

Do you like how the reporter made the time to contact lawyers to give the impression that what we are doing may be "unfair" at best, and "illegal" at worst?
I don't know what is worse, this or Campbell Brown's horrified, incredulous, "Is the President watching this?" comment regarding the "shock and awe video" press conference.

The
Sydney Morning Herald has been caught lying so many times - including the intentional alteration of wire service articles to change their meaning - that it should NEVER be trusted on anything.
The following was subsquented tacked onto the end of this story:
The Pentagon subsequently issued a statement to the Herald:Your story ('Dead bodies everywhere', by Lindsay Murdoch, March 22, 2003) claiming US forces are using napalm in Iraq, is patently false. The US took napalm out of service in the early 1970s. We completed destruction of our last batch of napalm on April 4, 2001, and no longer maintain any stocks of napalm. - Jeff A. Davis, Lieutenant Commander, US Navy, Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense.
The SMH lies. ALWAYS.

Pentagon denies report on napalm
March 24 2003The Pentagon has a denied a report in The Age on Saturday that napalm was used in an attack by US Navy planes on an Iraqi position at Safwan Hill in southern Iraq.
A navy official in Washington, Lieutenant-Commander Danny Hernandez, said: "We don't even have that in our arsenal." The US military says it last used napalm in 1993 and destroyed its last batch of the weapon in 2001.
The report was filed by Age correspondent Lindsay Murdoch, who is attached to units of the First US Marine Division.
Murdoch's report was based on information from two marine officers, who said napalm was used in the air strike on the hill. One of the officers repeated that napalm was used when Murdoch was asked by The Age foreign editor to confirm the story on Friday.
