U.S. Army publication confirms United States used incendiary
weapon in Fallujah
RAW STORY
The March edition of Field Artillery magazine, a U.S. Army
publication, reveals that the U.S. military did in fact use the
incendiary weapon white phosphorous in Fallujah, Iraq, a Daily
Kos diarist has found.
"WP [i.e., white phosphorus rounds] proved to be an effective
and versatile munition," the article's author wrote. "We used it
for screening missions at two breeches and, later in the fight,
as a potent psychological weapon against the insurgents in
trench lines and spider holes when we could not get effects on
them with HE. We fired 'shake and bake' missions at the
insurgents, using WP to flush them out and HE to take them out."
A second publication, Infantry Magazine, also alleges that white
phosphorous was used near the Iraqi city of Irbil. Newsroom
sources tell RAW STORY that the New York Times held a story they
were scheduled to run on the weapon's use Thursday.
A terrifying video about the U.S. use of the weapon in Fallujah
is available at Information Clearinghouse.
The U.S. has said any use of the weapon was for "lighting"
purposes.
According to the Toxic Disease registry, "White phosphorus is a
waxy solid which burns easily and is used in chemical
manufacturing and smoke munitions. Exposure to white phosphorus
may cause burns and irritation, liver, kidney, heart, lung, or
bone damage, and death."
Wikipedia adds, "Detonating a WP shell in a confined area (like
firing into a building) will indeed cause an effect comparable
to the use of lung agent poison gases for those inside who do
not or can not flee, with the additional consequence of setting
the room(s) alight. Death will occur from lung edema, phosphoric
acid poisoning or the resulting shock, or burns."
Use of white phosphorus is not banned by name in any
international treaty. However, the 1980 Convention on
Conventional Weapons (Protocol III) prohibits the use of
incendiary weapons against civilian populations or in areas that
have high civilian populations. The United States is among
several nations that are not signatories to the convention.

Swanson is co-founder of the After Downing Street.org coalition,
comprised of a number of veteran and peace groups seeking key
facts about the buildup to the war in Iraq. Swanson said today:
"Wednesday the House International Relations Committee is
scheduled to debate and vote on a resolution of inquiry into the
White House Iraq Group. This will be the first vote Congress
takes related to the war since Vice Presidential Chief of Staff
Lewis Libby was indicted. The WHIG produced bogus information
about Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction program."
