USA using Chemical weapons in Iraq ??

[docmercer--banned]

"Anger in Sunni-dominated Baghdad has reached a fever pitch, as an Iraqi physician told a radio station he has examined bodies of people who seem to have died of banned chemical weapons: the bodies are swollen, are yellowish and have no smell. Asia Times Online sources in Baghdad say that people in Fallujah believe the Americans may have used chemical weapons in the bombing of Jolan, ash-Shuhada and al-Jubayl neighborhoods. They also say the neighborhoods were showered with cluster bombs."

Even as the Bush Administration is complaining that the insurgents and the terrorists called Al-Qaeda are the grave threats to the world, we are evidently quietly using chemical weapons in Fallujah -- at least that is what is being reported in by numerous Asia and non- Arab news sources. Can you imagine the anger coming to a boiling point throughout the entire Islamic Middle East when Muslims by the millions view TV pictures of dead civilians and when the hear a trained Iraqi physician describe the medical condition of civilian corpses which tell him they died through a chemical weapons attack? Why, the planned "Clash of Civilizations" just became much greater.

The significance of using "Cluster Bombs" in civilian neighborhoods is also highly significant. This type of bomb explodes many thousands of shards of shrapnel over the target area and is designed to kill nearly everyone out in the open. Its use in heavily populated civilian areas means Coalition Forces are intending to kill large numbers of civilians; this is the reason that the high command repeatedly reports every casualty as an "insurgent fighter".

Doc, why do you hate the US so much that you post any unproven drivel you read as though it is fact? Why do you hate our boys in uniform so much that your posts are so caustic toward them and seemingly supportive of their enemies?

I understand that you don't like Bush - and that's ok! But many of your posts show a deep rooted hatred for our boys over there.

Why don't you just move to Canada, you piece of schit?

 

[JudgeWapner]

BB.think you are being a little hard on Doc. Did not read to me as fact,only a news story. This type of stuff is posted all the time here by the right and the left. Most of it is just conjecture.

Blight,
Are you opposed to the first amemdment? Do you hate the constitution? Are you a fascist?
Do you believe that whistle-blowing Germans were "pieces of schit" too?

I look forward to your reply.

 

[bblight]

I understand judge - and that's the fun in this forum to poke fun at each other - but Doc seems to take pleasure evey time our boys suffer a set back - and such poor taste and judgement from an American just pisses me off.

The guy is a Jane Fonda clone!

 

[lander]

Blight,
Do you classify war crimes as "a setback [for our boys]"?

I look forward to your reply.

few stop to consider the possibility of propaganda--

And let's get another thing straight: there are very, very few pacifist Iraquis: most everyone has hated enemies, whether ethnic(over a dozen significant groups) or religious... & within each group there are killings: not all Sunnis see eye to eye w/ all other Sunnis, ditto Shiites......

they've been killing each other centuries before we came on the map.......

same for instance, in Saudi Arabia-- it's not really a country but more a group of nomadic tribes on a patch of land, where one out-muscled others and established a royalty... their hold on power over the other tribes is still tenuous....

I HATE this flappin war .... I hate seeing our kids die in a war going on in a country that has nothing to do with 9-11 ... started by a pack of Neo-Cons who have never spent a day in combat in their entire lifes

bblight ... problem with your kind is you hate anyone that disagrees with this war ... you approve of it so I guess that means you approve of the large number of innocent Iraqi children / civilians that have died??

bblight:

Actually, it would appear that you hate ANY Americans who disagree with your beloved King George's policies ...

I love it how YOUR TYPES (Coulter, Limbaugh, Hannity, etc) get pissed off and resort to name calling when an American disagrees with a war that is costing this country hundreds of billions of dollars and to be honest: taking out Saddam Hussein will do little to effect terrorism as Saudi Arabia is the major financial backer of terrorism in the world today

I wont lower myself to your childlike mentality where you scream and call folks name just because they post an article questioning what is going on in Iraq ...

bbunenlightened,

If it did happen it should be pointed out and the U.S. media is obviously too scared of this administration to even start to believe we're getting whole truth.

None of us on the left take pleasure in our boys suffering, if anything we feel it much deeper than you righties because you think our G.I.'s are actually dying and being maimed for a reason, while we know there's no justification.

I saw a newscast one night before the Falluga siege. They were showing the city being bombed at night. The explosions were small and they were numerous. I was amazed our media was showing this apparent cluster bomb attack. It was never shown again.

 

[xpanda]

So let's understand this: the US has how many varieties of weapons at their disposal, likely among the most efficient weapons on the planet, but yet they choose to use chemical weapons in a war that is painstakingly scrutinised and widely opposed and was based on the supposition that the enemy was holding WMD? Even Georgie isn't that stupid.

Your first reaction has to be that this article is simply propaganda. Do you have the link for this, Doc?

 

[docmercer--banned]

Xpanda: daily newsletter I get from Cutting Edge ...some of their stuff is real good .. then again, newsletters are someones opinion (Limbaugh chronicles comes to mind) ... and that is why I started this thread with a question after the title??? It probably is propaganda but nothing our govt does would shock me:

NEWS BRIEF: "The Sunni-Shi'ite power play", By Pepe Escobar, Asia Times, 11/20/2004

"Iraqis are not fighting one another - at least not yet: they are fighting the occupying power, although with different strategies. After Fallujah, this situation is about to change ... The resistance is now spread out all over the Sunni heartland - contradicting US marine talk that the assault on Fallujah 'broke the back of the resistance'. Added proof that the resistance is indigenous is that of more than 1,000 men between the ages of 15 and 55 who the Pentagon says were captured in Fallujah - there's no independent confirmation; only 15 have been confirmed as 'foreign fighters', according to General George Casey, the top US ground commander. And these 'foreigners' are mostly Saudis, Jordanians or Syrians, described by Iraqis themselves as 'our Arab brothers', members of the large Arab nation. The real 'foreign fighters' in Iraq are the Americans."

We shall post an article, below, which states the reality that our daily offensives throughout Iraq are stoking the fires of hatred throughout all Arab and Muslim lands. Just as this last sentence, above, indicates, "Arab brothers" from numerous neighboring nations are answering the call to come help their Iraqi brothers of the faith. We have repeatedly stated that this strategy of deliberately provoking Arabs to immense anger throughout the world is one of THE major reasons America and Great Britain invaded Iraq in the first place. This strategy is called, "Blood In The Streets" and is designed to so provoke Muslim peoples against Western powers that they will go to all-out war even though their firepower is so limited, and even though their leaders know their soldiers are likely to be slaughtered.

That "critical mass" level of hot hatred seems to be getting close at hand. Now, let us return to our feature article.

"Anger in Sunni-dominated Baghdad has reached a fever pitch, as an Iraqi physician told a radio station he has examined bodies of people who seem to have died of banned chemical weapons: the bodies are swollen, are yellowish and have no smell. Asia Times Online sources in Baghdad say that people in Fallujah believe the Americans may have used chemical weapons in the bombing of Jolan, ash-Shuhada and al-Jubayl neighborhoods. They also say the neighborhoods were showered with cluster bombs." (Ibid.)

Even as the Bush Administration is complaining that the insurgents and the terrorists called Al-Qaeda are the grave threats to the world, we are evidently quietly using chemical weapons in Fallujah -- at least that is what is being reported in both Arab and Non-Arab news sources. Can you imagine the anger coming to a boiling point throughout the entire Islamic Middle East when Muslims by the millions view TV pictures of dead civilians and when the hear a trained Iraqi physician describe the medical condition of civilian corpses which tell him they died through a chemical weapons attack? Why, the planned "Clash of Civilizations" just became much greater.

The significance of using "Cluster Bombs" in civilian neighborhoods is also highly significant. This type of bomb explodes many thousands of shards of shrapnel over the target area and is designed to kill nearly everyone out in the open.

This is silly non-sense, we could level the whole fukking country and kill everyone. We don't, never in history has this strong of a nation shown so much compassion and restraint.

Gameface:

Lets not exactly brag about this adventure ... we have lost over 1200 American kids, have spent over 250 billion dollars and Iraq's armed forces were pretty much a rag tag band of beat up guys from years of wars

Elections now pushed back until last summer .... get our flappin kids out of there as this is ridiculous .. we have ACCOMPLISHED nothing as Iraq was never the problem and as long as the Saudis control to bankroll terrorists across the world expect the continual violence in Iraq

 

[GAMEFACE]

Ask the Russians what a determined rag tag band of beat ups can do. The job done in Fullujah was remarkable, so they are now looking for something negative to hang their hat on. It's to early to tell what has been accomplished, I know we have killed quite a few terrorist and we haven't been hit again. That's a real good start.

Gameface:

Agreed ... I just hope we can wrap it up shortly and bring our kids home

"ACCOMPLISHED nothing"

Actually dumbya has accomplished the deaths of quite a few for no justifiable reason.

That scenario where Bush was joking about not finding WMD's at that event in Washington, DC ...

I found no humor in that and to see Hannity & Limbaugh defend him for "showing a sense of humor"????

Doc,

He must be right any way, God told him to do it.
