The REAL reason White Phosphorous was used to immolate Fallujah

[populistdriven]

R E V E N G E



On March 31, 2004, four men working for Blackwater USA as security guards -- Scott Helvenston, Wesley Batalona, Jerry Zovko and Michael Teague -- were ambushed by insurgents in Fallujah. They were killed, their bodies burned and mutilated, and two were strung up on a bridge over the Euphrates. The insurgents made their own video of the attack, broadcasting the images around the world.

The only question that remains is WHY is the US media - PBS included - NOT showing the hundreds of White Phosphorous burned corpses with melted skin when they DID show the burned Blackwater Contractors?

WHY????

1. And the Blackwater Contractors were also killed for revenge

that's what happens to the Dogs of War

4. Those Mercs were not burned alive by Whitey Pete.

I suspect WP was used to avoid US casualties as much as possible. Let's face it, most Amerikans would not be against this Iraq debacle if no US troops were being killed or injured. WP use is a War Crime but the Bush Regime defends any of it's War Crimes. Amerika is now in the mire.

5. Oh I don't doubt that it saved US lives, but then again, nerve gassing the

entire City would have been even more effective at saving US lives. Extending this logic, nuking Fallujah, Bagdad & Mosul would have worked even better.


Better yet, not starting this war would have saved over 2000 US lives and 200,000 Iraqi lives.


Saving US lives cannot justify everything the US has done in Iraq.


And among the horrible things we have done in Iraq, shelling a large city with WP ranks near the top of the list.
