US troops used white phosphorus as a weapon in last year's offensive in the Iraqi city of Falluja, the US has said.
"It was used as an incendiary weapon against enemy combatants," spokesman Lt Col Barry Venable told the BBC - though not against civilians, he said.
We are criminals!
We have lost the trust of the international community and the fallout from that is already being felt by our leaders as they try to negotiate and make deals with other countries. I cannot understand how our leaders could have let this administration run roughshod over the good name of the United States of America. Where is their patriotism?
The Senate and Congress should never be a rubber stamp for any presidential administration, but especially not one run by crazy people! These morons cannot seem to do one thing right! Literally our only hope now is to fill the Senate with Democrats and give them the opportunity to dig into the corruption that is clearly rampant throughout this presidency.
I also believe that once we have impeached this president that we should hand him over to the international community to be tried for war crimes. We can include Rumsfeld, Cheney, Rice, and Ashcroft in that group as well. It is our only chance of gaining back any of the trust that we have lost with the rest of the world.
