Fallujah, unforgotten.
By UsaydUS forces ‘used chemical weapons’ during assault on city of Fallujah
The attacks on Fallujah, the small town near the city of Baghdad, were the headlines of this time last year’s news. Now it has hit again with even more claims of total disregard to the UN convention. UNN wrote about the Fallujah Napalm case last November. Thousands of Iraqis have lost their lives to the stupidity of this war, I think its time the world spoke out.
“Bodies melted away before us.”
Powerful new evidence emerged yesterday that the United States dropped massive quantities of white phosphorus on the Iraqi city of Fallujah during the attack on the city in November 2004, killing insurgents and civilians with the appalling burns that are the signature of this weapon.
Ever since the assault, which went unreported by any Western journalists, rumours have swirled that the Americans used chemical weapons on the city.
On 10 November last year, the Islam Online website wrote: “US troops are reportedly using chemical weapons and poisonous gas in its large-scale offensive on the Iraqi resistance bastion of Fallujah, a grim reminder of Saddam Hussein’s alleged gassing of the Kurds in 1988.”

A must see ‘documentary’ looking into the situation really does explain a lot concerning the total indiscriminate effects of the weapons used in Fallujah. One veteran says “Bodies melted away before us.”
I must warn you of the following:
This video contains images that depict the reality and horror of war.
It should only be viewed by a mature audience.
Watch the video at YSE (Faster) Watch the video at ICH The media are minimising US and British war crimes in Iraq $5,000 for loss of wife and son: how US prices death Torture: It’s the new American way
Update:
The US military on Wednesday acknowledged it might have killed civilians in the Iraqi city of Falluja with white phosphorus munitions during the battle against insurgents a year ago. ICH

Salaam,
I’ve seen this video and it shows the true horrors of the occupation. There’s also another documentary I found about fallujah:
“Fallujah-The day After”
Shows the total devastation of the Iraqi town, the corpses of the victims, the mass graves, the exhumation of many corpses by local rescue teams in order to try to recognize some of the victims. The last corpse shown in this video belongs to a 14 year old girl.
The video lasts 18 minutes and 20 seconds.
