White phosphorus AND napalm used in Iraq

Kinda ironic don't you think?  That Bush accuses Iraq of producing and threatening to use nuclear and chemical weapons.  The States are the biggest stockpiler of nuclear weapons and they're the ones using chemical weapons (again).  Just shows the reasons for the 'war' are utter bullshit.

US lied about chemical weapons in Iraq

I didn't know about the napalm (or more accurately, mark 77). 

The lies issuing from the White House are phenomenal and yet people (idiots?) still support Bush and the rest.  They must be people who don't read.  The article above illustrates this with the following:

"In May this year, she (Ann Clwyd) wrote to the Guardian to assure us that reports that a "modern form of napalm" has been used by US forces "are completely without foundation. Coalition forces have not used napalm -- either during operations in Falluja, or at any other time." How did she know? The British foreign office minister told her. Before the invasion, Clwyd travelled through Iraq to investigate Saddam's crimes against his people. She told the House of Commons that what she found moved her to tears. After the invasion, she took the minister's word at face value, when a 30-second search on the internet could have told her it was bunkum. It makes you wonder whether she really gave a damn about the people for whom she claimed to be campaigning."

How can people just accept someone's word?  Are they so naive?  Wake up, people.  Use the brain you were born with and stop being sheep.
