Napalm in the Morning

To me, it smells like . . . victory

The new, improved napalm that U.S. troops are using in Iraq has the same problem as the old napalm - it doesn't bring victory. The whole world condemns the use of napalm, especially against civilians. Only one nation still uses it - the United States.

The "new" napalm has another name, enabling military spokesmen to deny using it. Nobody's fooled, except the gullible U.S. public.

For over a week rumors have circulated in the Arab press that both napalm and other chemical weapons were used mainly in the Jolan district of Falluja, a major area of the fighting. Now, despite a US media blackout, more evidence is leaking out and causing a furor in the British Parliament. As Gilfeather reports: "Last night Tony Blair was dragged into the row as furious Labour MPs demanded he face the Commons over it. Reports claim that innocent civilians have died in napalm attacks, which turn victims into human fireballs as the gel bonds flames to flesh."

2. I called my Conman about this

and demanded a reply. I'll share it here (he's a repuke who wants to meld church/state and his aides hate it when I call-you can tell it in their voices).

3. So what does John Kerry think about this?

Sure would be nice if we knew where he stood on this...or depleted uranium, or the use of torture at Guantanamo...

4. A travesty!

A high crime! Slowly, but surely, it sounds more like, (even worse?) than Saddam.

Napalm is horrible stuff. Horrible!

Depleted Uranium has a half-life of 4.5 billion years. Let's just say you won't want to vacation in the new Iraq. The cancer and mutations will be with them for generations to come.

Humans will have evolved into another life form by the time the depleted uranium we have maniacly strewn across Iraq ceases to be deadly.

8. Repug moral values?

If karma exists, and I hope it does, some people are in for a real bad time. This is disgusting. It sickens me. Bush is truly a psychopathic monster. Every day we hear more and more. The level of pain and cruelty Bush supports is unfathomable.
