The verbal game about "Willy Pete" aka White Phosphorous is
Edited on Fri Nov-18-05 01:12 AM by texpatriot2004
completely sickening. It's on about the same level as the "you say potato, I say potato...you say tomato, I say tomato" rhyme. Oh, wait, I know the powers that be call it "LEGAL to use on enemy combatants" they say it's an incendiary something-or-other AND NOT A CHEMICAL WEAPON...I don't care what damned label they put on it, I don't care what sophisticated game they play with it, or what circumstances they dress it up in to rationalize their bullshit - THE USE OF WHITE PHOSPHOROUS IS CRIMINAL AND NOT BEFITTING OF AMERICA OR AMERICANS. PERIOD!

They are putting lipstick on the pig again and it's repulsive, as usual. Not to mention it's ineffective because Americans know a CHEMICAL WEAPON when they hear of one.

This hideous stuff is WORSE THAN NAPALM and it was decided that Napalm WAS NOT TO BE USED UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. What in the hell are we doing? What in the hell is this evil regime doing in my name? In our name? In the name of America and all Americans? I shudder to think and don't think I could stomach to hear the gross horrors this evil regime carries out, what atrocities, what crimes?

Oh, and that absurd line about "we are only using it on insurgents" - how dumb do you think that I am? I can assure you that I may not be a military guru or an evildoer in the WH, but I know what's right and I know what's CRIMINAL...

1. Sick sick people, like by droppinjg such a weapon on an area
that they dam sure know has civilians residing in, they believe these civilians had no right being there?

As awkard as the above sounds, thier excuses have been just as awkard.

2. Indeed there had to be civilians there and they knew it. Sick is
right. What I always think is "do unto others as you would them do unto you" and how the lives of people in Iraq are no less valuable.

It's humanity.

Thank you, George W. Bush.

7. And those two words have often been used to describe . . .
what Bush is trying to wave around in a desperate attempt to appear manly.
