Italian TV Broadcasting US Use of White Phosophorous
A news program on Italian satellite TV, RAI News 24, has substantiated the claim that the US military has been exploiting the dual use of white phosporus. In its siege of Fallujah, the chemical was used on the civilian populace. The story is in today’s Repubblica. The Bush Adminstration and the DoD are about to be shamed before the eyes of the world.
Shocking revelation RAI News 24. Use of chemical weapons by the US military in Iraq. Veteran admits: Bodies melted away before us.
White phosphorous used on the civilian populace: This is how the US “took” Fallujah.
This author would like to note that the US has NOT signed the Protocol III of the Geneva Conventions forbidding the use of white phosphorous in war time. This alone makes it acceptable for the military to use such munitions, even though it is somewhat questionable as to why it WAS used, given that standard munitions would still achieve a devastating effect.
