No Confirmation Zarqawi Was Killed in Raid

Monday, November 21, 2005

BAGHDAD, Iraq—U.S. forces sealed off a house in the northern city of Mosul where eight Al Qaeda members died in a gunfight — some by their own hand to avoid capture. The White House said Sunday that it was "highly unlikely" that the terror leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was among the dead.

Germans: Bush misused data to justify Iraq war

Informant's handlers say they repeatedly warned of unreliability.

11/20/05 "McCall" -- -- BERLIN | The German intelligence officials responsible for one of the most important informants on Saddam Hussein's suspected weapons of mass destruction say that the Bush administration and the CIA repeatedly exaggerated his claims before the Iraq war.

Five senior officials from Germany's Federal Intelligence Service, or BND, said in interviews with the Los Angeles Times that they warned U.S. intelligence authorities that the source, an Iraqi defector code-named Curveball, never claimed to produce germ weapons and never saw anyone else do so.

The right to rule ourselves

Faced with US torture, killing and collective punishment of civilians, support for the Iraqi resistance is growing

By Haifa Zangana

11/19/05 "The Guardian" -- -- The photograph of an elderly Iraqi carrying the burned body of a child at Falluja, widely shown during the chemical weapons controversy of recent days, is almost a copy of an earlier one that Iraqis remember - from Halabja in March 1988. Both children were victims of chemical weapons: the first killed by a dictator who had no respect for democracy and human rights, the second by US troops, assisted by the British, carrying the colourful banner of those principles while sprinkling Iraqis with white phosphorus and depleted uranium.

Again Curley, stop pretending like you speak for the military or something. As far as I'm concerned you are nothing more than a cheerleader. Stop acting like you're supportive of the troops because you just cheerlead for the civilian leadership.

so what makes it deferent from killing and burning contractors , tell me CJ

from here

Military regulations
US military protocol prohibits the use of white phosphorus in civilian areas, unless approval is received from "above the division level". [8]. On the question of whether white phosphorus can be used against human targets, U.S. military training and doctrine (TRADOC) offers conflicting guidance. Although the Battle Book, published by the US Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth states that "It is against the law of land warfare to employ WP against personnel targets", [9] other training manuals do discuss the use of white phosphorus rounds against personnel. The US Marine Corps is reported to have issued guidance against using "flame weapons" (including white phosphorus) against personnel. [10]

There are at least three cases in which white phosphorus (WP) seems to have been used as an antipersonnel weapon in Iraq when significant civilian populations were present:

1. February 1991: The Iraqi military itself was accused of using WP as a chemical weapon against both combatants and non-combatants. A declassified 1995 US Department of Defense document, titled "Possible use of phosphorous chemical weapons by Iraq in Kurdish areas along the Iraqi-Turkish-Iranian borders," states that "Iraqi forces loyal to President Saddam (Hussein) may have possibly used white phosphorous chemical weapons against Kurdish rebels and the populace in Erbil and Dohuk." [11]

2. April 2004: In the first major US assault on Fallujah after the fall of Saddam Hussein's government, Darrin Mortenson of the North County Times in California reported that WP was used as a weapon. Embedded with the 2nd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, Mortenson described one marine, a Cpl. Bogert, and his mortar team in action:

Bogert is a mortar team leader who directed his men to fire round after round of high explosives and white phosphorus charges into the city Friday and Saturday... The boom kicked dust around the pit as they ran through the drill again and again, sending a mixture of burning white phosphorus and high explosives they call "shake 'n' bake" into a cluster of buildings where insurgents have been spotted all week. [12]
London's Guardian newspaper among others, reported that the US military refused to allow many civilians to flee the city before the assault:

At the checkpoint leaving Falluja towards Baghdad, women and children have been trying to leave, but in cars driven by men (women don't drive here) so they weren't allowed out. They are not letting men aged 14 to 45 - of "fighting age" - leave the city. [13]
3. November 2004: During Operation Phantom Fury (the second major assault on Fallujah), Washington Post reporters embedded with Task Force 2-2, Regimental Combat Team 7, wrote on November 9 2004 that "Some artillery guns fired white phosphorous rounds that create a screen of fire that cannot be extinguished with water."

and if you want to enjoy looking at dead bodies of people killed by American troops be my guest but if you are a faint hearted then please dont try to click on the link

and by the way CJ spend some money and educate your self
try this

you are sick, seek help

asantana, please refrain from that kind of talk towards another member. No matter who it is.

CJ...... well... you know...

WP is a nasty but legal weapon that is the harsh fact of it. It is very useful in removing enemies that are dug in but it is better used for cover.

I see that a lot of people are criticising the American for using it and that is fair enough but I must ask where is the criticism of other countries namely Russia who in attack on Grozny used only WP when they knew that women and children woul definitly be affected which is against the international laws on WP use.
