1. I'm aguing with a freeper now

and the spin is going to be that it wasn't used on 'civilians' and that's okay.

2. Umm that really is freeper logic

It was dumped on a city the civilians and insurgents were pretty much indistinguishable.

5. Oh, sure. Tinkerbell flitted around from individual to individual with

her bag of special "pixie" dust and sprinkled it only on the reeeeally bad people.

7. Long term effects, as reported by

8. What about insurgents who didn't allow

Edited on Wed Nov-16-05 11:11 PM by insane_cratic_gal

civilians to leave? Didn't I hear stories about that?

Either way it was still used as a weapon and that goes against regulations.
When your America, the poster child for democracy and human rights, you can't resort to the abuses we've committed. If your the standard by which everyone looks to, you can't step a toe out of line. And we did, we abused prisoners in Abu, we set up black camps for torture, we used willy pete on a population of people.
It is just inexcusable.
