> U.S. Used WMD in Iraq

21 June 2005, 17:54

In the interests of accuracy, and especially given the bush crime families misuse of the term, I would like to point out that "WMD" is not nampalm, or even MOABS or fuel aeresol bombs. Napalm and DU are not weapons of mass destruction. WMD are: nuclear, chemical and biological weapons. Nuclear weapons can kill millions of people in a matter of minutes or hours, chemical weapons can kill 10’s of thousands if deployed against civilian populations (military forces probably would not be killed in such large numbers due to defensive measures) and finally bio weapons theoretically can kill 10’s of thousands to perhaps millions.

Napalm is "just" jellied gasoline, it can kill, horribly, anyone who is bombed or sprayed with it, at best a napalm attack could kill dozens or at most hundreds. While horrendous and in most case immoral, napalm is in no ways a weapon of mass destruction.

If you wish to defeat the lies, prevarications and agit-prop of the bush/cheney junta, I would strongly advise that you be more judicious in your use of terminology. Lies can only be defeated with the truth.

What these people are doing is undeniably evil. I would like to congratulate you on the otherwise excellent article.

And finally I would say, no, scream... IMPEACH bush NOW! GET OUT OF IRAQ. STAY HOME AMERIKA AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR OWN CHILDREN, THE HOMELESS, THE SICK, AND YOUR MILLIONS OF UNDERPRIVILEGED STARVING MINORITIES, AND GET A HEALTH CARE SYSTEM FOR EVERYONE, INSTEAD OF SENDING YOUR YOUTH AROUND THE WORLD TO KILL FOR: OIL, ISRAEL AND NEOCON DREAMS OF GLOBAL HEGEMONY.
