Just so we are all clear on this:
Myth: Americans bombed Trang Bang, Viet Nam, and burned Kim Phuc, the girl in the famous photo. Fact: As stated by the photographer himself, Nick Ut, and clearly shown on film, the Viet Nam Air Force (VNAF) dropped the bombs that hurt Kim. This was witnessed and reported by UPI television correspondent Christopher Wain, and also reported at the time, by noted correspondent Peter Arnett. Other journalists who were not there, through assumption, sloppy work, or malice, have since reported that the attack was by US aircraft, and have further embellished the story with time. Most of the commercials for the recent A&E documentary, and indeed, the host on the broadcast, said that the documentary would show "the American commander who ordered the bombing". That statement is not true.

Thanks for the ping, Robert. They're trying all the tricks in the Vietnam playbook to turn America and the world against our war efforts.
The terrorist appeasers are getting Gov. funds even as our Generals are groveling before ignorant jerks like Biden and Dodd for funds to continue their SUCCESS in Iraq.
The press has recast a continuing win for America as failure. Some day these troops are not going to protect this press. When their precious freedoms are lost they will undoubtedly blame the military - and the GOP. Tough.

The worst part is the Pentagon's Orwellian effort to avoid calling the weapons by their right names.It can't be any worse than the media and RATs attempt to misidentify Iraq as Vietnam.

Although many human rights groups consider incendiary bombs to be inhumane....
I'm having trouble with the concept of a "humane" bomb....

Posted here: I am so sick of seeing that. Who cares that several threads on the same subject are up at one time?
What is your point in pointing this out?
