Bush: War Criminal, we know--but if the following is true--UGH!

Fallujah napalmed
US uses banned weapon ..but was Tony Blair told?
By Paul Gilfeather Political Editor
US troops are secretly using outlawed napalm gas to wipe out remaining
insurgents in and around Fallujah.
News that President George W. Bush has sanctioned the use of napalm, a
deadly cocktail of polystyrene and jet fuel banned by the United Nations in
1980, will stun governments around the world.
And last night Tony Blair was dragged into the row as furious Labour MPs
demanded he face the Commons over it. Reports claim that innocent civilians
have died in napalm attacks, which turn victims into human fireballs as the
gel bonds flames to flesh.
Outraged critics have also demanded that Mr Blair threatens to withdraw
British troops from Iraq unless the US abandons one of the world's most
reviled weapons. Halifax Labour MP Alice Ma! hon said: "I am calling on Mr
Blair to make an emergency statement to the Commons to explain why this is
happening. It begs the question: 'Did we know about this hideous weapon's
use in Iraq?'"
Since the American assault on Fallujah there have been reports of "melted"
corpses, which appeared to have napalm injuries.
Last August the US was forced to admit using the gas in Iraq.
A 1980 UN convention banned the use of napalm against civilians - after
pictures of a naked girl victim fleeing in Vietnam shocked the world.
America, which didn't ratify the treaty, is the only country in the world
still using the weapon.

In some weird way I am not at all surprised.
I am not going to make any more comments about this except that it shows an amazing ignorance for human life and international respect.
What's next...nukes? |

Actually that's not the quote.
People think it is, but watch the film again and you'll see it ain't. |

"You smell that? Do you smell that? Napalm, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of napalm in the morning. You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for twelve hours. When it was all over I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body. The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill. Smelled like - victory. |
There you go...straight from the script... |

In Shanghai, they do wear PJ's. But usually just the fluffy kind with floral patterns. And they do at least wear plastic bags on their head when it rains, which seems very authentic to me. |
