Rome, 20 July (AKI) - US and Iraqi troops have launched another offensive on the city of Fallujah in the volatile Anbar province in western Iraq. US military leaders believe a group of guerrillas has established itself in the city once more, taking advantage of the last few months of relative calm. News of the new operation comes from aid workers from the Italian Solidarity Consortium (ICS) in Iraq, who are carrying out monitoring and humanitarian assistance programmes in the area to help the many citizens displaced by the last military offensive on the city, which began in November last year.
…the multinational force has closed the city, to comb it house by house. This has sparked another mass exodus of civilians. Hundreds of families have already abandoned the city, they report, "further worsening the humanitarian emergency."
"I do not believe chemical weapons were ever used on fallujah"
"So...it boils down to...you 100% approve of Syrian, Saudi, Jordanian, Egyptian, French, and other muslims killing Iraqi muslims, including the women, children, elderly, and handicapped? 'Cuz they sure aren't targeting coalition forces any more. "
"I guess you Syrians just don't like anybody. "
"Oh, hey, just a thought....how come Syria isn't giving the Palestinians any palestinian land in Syria?"
BTW, white phosphorus is used by all militaries
surveys and studies that a medical team did in al-Fallujah and then reported to the 'ministry' confirm that US forces used substances that are internationally prohibited - including mustard gas, nerve gas, and other burning chemicals - in the course of its attacks on the city.
Residents in Fallujah reported that innocent civilians have been killed by napalm attacks, a poisonous cocktail of polystyrene and jet fuel which makes the human body melt. Since the U.S. offensive started in Fallujah earlier this month, there have been reports of "melted" bodies which many believe is caused by napalm.
"Poisonous gases have been used in Fallujah," 35-year-old Fallujah resident, Abu Hammad said. "They used everything -- tanks, artillery, infantry, and poisonous gas. Fallujah has been bombed to the ground." Hammad was living in the Julan district of Fallujah which witnessed some of the heaviest attacks.
Phosphorous arms and the napalm gas are known to have such effects. "People suffered so much from these," Abu Sabah said. "
"News that President George W. Bush has sanctioned the use of napalm, a deadly cocktail of polystyrene and jet fuel banned by the United Nations in 1980, will stun governments around the world.
And 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. "

The symptoms are very obvious and would have been paraded on the news.
Meanwhile, U.S. forces prevented the Iraqi-based Red Crescent to enter the city to care for wounded civilians and bring aid to survivors. Some observers have insisted that the main purpose of this action was to prevent official recording of atrocities committed during the siege and attack"
Also what would be the point of using mustard gas; there are far more potent chemicalk weapons than some 90 year old formula. Next you'll be claiming they have been using Phosgene and Chlorine gas.
Now SS, you know they havent't been using mustard

All this talking about banned weapons, just want to know if thermobarric weapons are "banned". Because an incomplete ignition of the thermobaric bomb will cause fires.
Maybe it's the case in Falluja
(Just another mad theory )
"We found dozens, not to say hundreds, of stray dogs, cats, and birds that had perished as a result of those gasses", he told the press conference, which was held in the health ministry's Baghdad building.
Aljazeera reported that the press conference "was attended by more than 20 Iraqi and foreign media networks, including the Iraqi ash-Sharqiyah TV network, the Iraqi as Sabah newspaper, the US Washington Post and the Knight-Ridder service".
However, the only US news outlet to carry even a mention of the press conference was the Christian Science Monitor's website. In an March 7 article on the US State Department's annual report on other countries' human rights record, the Boston-based daily reported that "Aljazeera also reported that Dr Khalid ash-Shaykhli, an official at Iraq's health ministry, told a press conference in Baghdad that his department's investigation in the conflict in Fallujah show that US forces used "internationally banned weapons' during its offensive last November, including napalm and jet fuel. The United States has never signed the treaty that banned the use of napalm against civilians."
This is intersting, seeing as the Italian journalist targeted by US Forces was working on a series of stories probing the Fallujah campaign.
Bush's remarkable triumphs: He burns them to death with chemical weapons.
By: Chris Floyd
the American public was denied the full story of one of President Bush's remarkable triumphs.
Dr. ash-Shaykhli's findings provided confirmation of earlier reports by many other Iraqis — reports that were also ignored by the arrogant filterers, who seem more interested in hearing from terrorists or anti-occupation extremists than ordinary Iraqis and those like Dr. ash-Shaykhli, who serve in the U.S.-backed interim government vetted and approved by President Bush.
Dr. ash-Shaykhli was sent by the pro-American Baghdad government to assess health conditions in Fallujah,...
The ruin of the city was complete: Every single house was either destroyed (from 75 to 80 percent of the total) or heavily damaged. The city's entire infrastructure -- water, electricity, food, transport, medicine -- was obliterated. Indeed, the city's hospitals were among the first targets, in order to prevent medical workers from spreading "propaganda" about civilian casualties, U.S. officials said at the time.

u think the U.S. Marines be wearing masks while fightin in Falluja,
i guess the Iraqis believe that the foggy...
"after all many Iraqis believe that the night vision goggles can see through womens clothing
or that American soldiers have air conditioning underwears wen seeing the soldiers in extremely hot conditions, wearing body armor and helmets.
The Iraqi resistance never kills innocent Iraqies, why would they kill their own familes? Why would they destroy the very thing they are trying to protect.
No innocent Iraqies where ever killed by the Resistance.
"The resistance doesn't TARGET innocent iraqies"
A muslim would never bomb a mosque, it is sacred to all muslims, (a True muslim wouldn't bomb a church for that matter either, it's written right there in the book).
