To downplay the political impact of revelations that U.S. forces used deadly white phosphorus rounds against Iraqi insurgents in Falluja last year, Pentagon officials [evil robots] have insisted that phosphorus munitions are legal since they aren’t technically “chemical weapons.”

The media [idiot liars] have helped them. For instance, the New York Times [discredited rag] ran a piece today on the phosphorus controversy. On at least three occasions, the Times emphasizes that the phosphorus rounds are “incendiary muntions” that have been “incorrectly called chemical weapons.”

... A formerly classified 1995 Pentagon intelligence document titled “Possible Use of Phosphorous Chemical” describes the use of white phosphorus by Saddam Hussein on Kurdish fighters:

IRAQ HAS POSSIBLY EMPLOYED PHOSPHOROUS CHEMICAL WEAPONS AGAINST THE KURDISH POPULATION IN AREAS ALONG THE IRAQI-TURKISH-IRANIAN BORDERS. […]

IN LATE FEBRUARY 1991, FOLLOWING THE COALITION FORCES’ OVERWHELMING VICTORY OVER IRAQ, KURDISH REBELS STEPPED UP THEIR STRUGGLE AGAINST IRAQI FORCES IN NORTHERN IRAQ. DURING THE BRUTAL CRACKDOWN THAT FOLLOWED THE KURDISH UPRISING, IRAQI FORCES LOYAL TO PRESIDENT SADDAM ((HUSSEIN)) MAY HAVE POSSIBLY USED WHITE PHOSPHOROUS (WP) CHEMICAL WEAPONS AGAINST KURDISH REBELS AND THE POPULACE IN ERBIL (GEOCOORD:3412N/04401E) (VICINITY OF IRANIAN BORDER) AND DOHUK (GEOCOORD:3652N/04301E) (VICINITY OF IRAQI BORDER) PROVINCES, IRAQ.

Yet a new report shows that an instruction manual used by the US Army Command and General Staff School (CGSC) at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, “teaches senior officers it is against the ‘laws of war’ to fire the incendiary weapon at human targets.”

Here is a little Haiku:

They torture we torture
They use chemical weapons we use chemical weapons
We have seen the enemy and it is US.

The United States will soon be the only place in the world were an American can be sheltered from the truth enough to be proud of their country. Thank you Ignorant Bush Americans.

PS - I know that wasn't a "real" Haiku I tried to count the syllables but I was distracted by our national shame.If you aren't even aware of the problem you ARE the problem.
