US Army proves Bush a liar

A couple days ago, I posted about the accusation Italian public television RAI made that the US had used illegal chemical weapons (White Phosphorous) against innocent and unarmed Iraqi civilians, INDISCRIMINATELY (notice the irony here, since chemical weapons were one of the many reasons given by Bush for attacking Iraq.)

Well, now there is hard evidence that the accusation, although denied (GET OUT!!) by the Bush administration, is in fact true. And the proof comes from the Army itself, so it will be quite hard for Bush to disprove it (is he gonna start smearing the US military like he does with everyone who doesn't agree with him?)

Check out this link at Daily Kos:

"WP [i.e., white phosphorus rounds] proved to be an effective and versatile munition. We used it for screening missions at two breeches and, later in the fight, as a potent psychological weapon against the insurgents in trench lines and spider holes when we could not get effects on them with HE. We fired 'shake and bake' missions at the insurgents, using WP to flush them out and HE to take them out."
...
there is no way you can use white phosphorus like that without forming a deadly chemical cloud that kills everything within a tenth of a mile in all directions from where it hits. Obviously, the effect of such deadly clouds weren't just psychological in nature.
...
Bogert is a mortar team leader who directed his men to fire round after round of high explosives and white phosphorus charges into the city Friday and Saturday, never knowing what the targets were or what damage the resulting explosions caused.

SHAKE AND BAKE!! Absolutely appalling. Let's see how the administration pulls itself out of this sticky mess and how much more America will be hated now in the Middle East.

President Bush. Worst President Ever.
