White Phosphorous and the Tragedy of Iraq

So, White Phosphorous was used intentionally by the USA Army as a weapon against insurgents in Fallujah.

I'm not surprised.

The sad fact of Iraq is that for every sane, decent, rational soldier in the US Army in Iraq, there are several stupid, angry and irrational Americans who think they are avenging 9/11 by attacking Iraqis.

This is the tragedy of Iraq, in my view, and has led to repeated war-crimes. Fallujah being one particularly bad example, Abu Ghraib being another.

But this tragedy can be laid directly at the feet of Bush and Cheney-- for it was they who brain-washed US soldiers into thinking Iraq was resposnible for 9/11.
