new evidence of the same old

Not that we really need anymore evidence of the criminality of the bush administration.

Today's Independent (UK) reports on an Italian documentary about the atrocities committed by the US military in the Nov 2004 destruction of Fallujah. Many independent commentators and reporters at the time tried to bring this information to the American people, but, as usual, they were basically ignored by the CCMA*.

White phospherous bombs, and the new napalm (Mark 77), banned weapons by the UN Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons of 1980, were used.

..."Phosphorus burns bodies, in fact it melts the flesh all the way down to the bone ... I saw the burned bodies of women and children. Phosphorus explodes and forms a cloud. Anyone within a radius of 150 metres is done for."...

Think about that. Picture that. FEEL that. Is that what you want done in your name? And do you really think it's confined to just Fallujah? And what makes it even worse, is that this obscene war is illegal in the first fucking place.

We have an idiot coke-brain pretending to be president, a vice-president who's trying to make torture legal while he makes a fortune off this war, a secretary of defense who can't even count and doesn't care, and a whole administration full of cronies and relatives, draining the US treasury.

I don't know what it's going to take for the American people to wake up.

Remember that asshole roberts ruled it's ok for the president to imprison US citizens indefinitely without charges, and strip them of their citizenship. And cheney wants to torture anyone who's not a citizen somewhere in some foreign land. You want to be next? That's what you are allowing.

As for the 'opposition party', it's time to get off your fucking asses. If this is what you want, tell us now, you bastards, so we can find someone else. And it's time for the American people to get off their asses, and start demanding, that's right, DEMANDING, that bush and his administration exit the government. NOW.

TOM, AS A NAM VET I FEEL SICKENED THAT THIS COUNTRY MUST STOOP TO SUCH LEVELS TO DESTROY A COUNTRY THAT WAS NO THREAT TO THIS ONE! WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THE VALUES WE AS A COUNTRY, ONCE HELD SO HIGH? WE HAVE RAISED ANOTHER GENERATION OF YOUTH THAT WILL SUFFER THE RAPE OF THEIR INOCENCE IN A PHONY WAR, LIKE OUR YOUTH! AND AT THE SAME TIME HAVE TAKEN AWAY OR ARE TRYING TO, THE ONE DISABLITY THOSE THAT ARE INVOLVED IN THESE ACTS ARE SURE TO SUFFER FROM, PTSD! NOT TO MAKE LIGHT OF, BUT HOW CAN WE MAKE THE LIVES OF THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN MEAN SO LITTLE? ITS THEIR COUNTRY, WE INVADED IT, AND THRU OUR ACTIONS HAVE TURNED THEM INTO HATEING US! WHEN YOU TURN THE POPULANCE AGANST YOU, YOU WILL NEVER WIN! ITS TIME TO BRING OUR TROOPS HOME! NOW! WE DONT NEED TO HAVE ANOTHER LIFE WASTED AS WERE THOSE ON THE WALL FROM OUR ILLEGAL AND IMMORAL WAR!CJW
