"It's not clear just what the images in the RAI video show, but, based on the intact clothing, this evidence suggests that it something other than charred phosphorus victims. While he hasn't seen the video, and so couldn't comment directly about it, Mr. Pike told me that the Indy's description of "clothes largely intact but skin dissolved, caramelised or turned the consistency of leather" sounded like "generic corpses" that had been exposed to the environment for a couple of weeks."

"A documentary showed images of bodies recovered after a November 2004 offensive by US troops on Fallujah, which it said proved the use of white phosphorus against men, women and children who were burned to the bone."

How many have family and, or friends in the combative forces? How many here think that these people you are related to personally would deliberately use phosphorous or any other kind of weapon to attack civillians men, women and children? K

How many think the command over there has this kind of policy? If so why? To get an upper hand on the war? To risk being exposed so that it can be used as a good PR excercise?

Civillian toll occurs in every war as collateral damage. Such is one of the major ugly aspects of war. And in isolated cases allied/US troops have snapped and gone on a rampage against civillians.

But to present it as if it was common practice or some kind of official policy of US troops ...is really way over the top. And very rich if you happen to be a Muslim making these criticisms because this exact kind of behaviour targeting civillian men, women and children when performed by your brothers that is not only justified but celebrated as blissful Jihad. The even more ironic thing is the insurgence perpetrators blowing up brother and sister Muslim civillians as well as children on a fairly consistent basis now...in the name of Islam.

Isolating an aspect in order to raise anti-sentiment Americanism is fine if you're a Muslim with a tainted anti American sentiments anyway. It's really pretty unforgiveable if you are an American citizen and make a habit of doing this all the time. Either way it's not taking in the whole picture and therefore a gross distortion of the real truth.

 White phosphorus , Willy Pete . Always a favorite for marking targets , starting fires . But a chemical weapon Na , not in the big picture. Hell WWII they fire bombed Dresden 3 times in one day 98% civilian target 250K burned in a few days in the fire strom . Its all old hat for U.S

I just wanna know....can we use chemical weapons to torture Saddam et al while they're in Iraq? That's really the question here.
