To burn children by phosphorus - this is civilized

The Pentagon recognized that troops of USA used phosphoric bombs
during the last year's operation in Falluja.

"Bombs with the white phosphorus were used as the igniting weapon
against the armed forces of enemy", - stated the representative of the
Pentagon Lieutenant Colonel Barry Venabl in the interview to BBC.

According to him, this weapon was not used against the innocent
civilians. Previously USA generally denied the fact of the use of
bombs with the white phosphorus in Falluja. This statement made the
State Department of USA.

On the assertion of the representative of the Pentagon, the white
phosphorus - substance, which forms part of bombs, which can lead to
the burns of the skin - is not the forbidden chemical weaponry.

American servicemen made this conclusion on the basis of the fact that
in 1980 Washington did not sign the protocol of agreement, which
limits the use of the phosphorous-containing weapon. However, the
application of phosphoric bombs disrupts the convention of UNITED
NATIONS some types of the so-called conventional weapon.

For the first time about the use of bombs with the white phosphorus in
Falluja described the journalists of the Italian television channel
Rai. After televising of documentary film Italian peace campaigners
arranged protest demonstration near the American embassy in Rome.

White phosphorus - poison, which with contact with body literally
burns the skin and flesh to the bones.

Television channel RAI showed the film, which tells about the
consequences of the operation of assault ale -Falluja during November
2004. At night sky above the city was colored hundreds of phosphoric
projectiles. There participated 12 thousand American occupiers and
three thousand Iraqi collaborationists in the assault of Falluja.
Immediately after the attack about which reported none of the western
journalists, send rumors about the fact that the Americans used
chemical weaponry against the city.

Film "Falluja. Secret slaughter house "gives the irrefutable evidence
of the fact that the incendiary bombs, known as Mark 77, the improved
form of the napalm, which was being adapted by troops of USA in
Vietnam, adapted into the El -Falluja.

USA denied these facts for the long time. During December American
government officially named these communications the "extended myth".
But after the appearance of terrible documentary personnel for the
Pentagon it was necessary to confess in the lie. In this case
Washington again attempted to assert that the chemical weaponry did
not adapt against the innocent civilians.

However, interview and the photos, made by Italian journalists, bring
this assertion into question. The former American soldier, who warred
into the Al -Falluja, stated to the correspondent:

"I heard order to maintain caution, since is going to use white
phosphorus against Al -Falluja. Phosphorus burns body, it dissolves
flesh to the bone. I saw the burned bodies of women and children.
Phosphorus explodes and forms cloud. To everything in radius of 150
meter - will be end ".

Photographs on the site of television channel show
that, about which the former soldier speaks. On tens of qualitative
colored photographs, made from the close distance and given by the
research center of the rights of man into the Al -Falluja, the bodies
of the inhabitants of city are visible, whose clothing remained
untouched, but the skin was dissolved or took the form of the skin of
animal as a result of firing by projectiles.

Biologist from Al -Falluja Mohamed Tarek, who gave interview for the
film, says:

"Fiery rain was spilled to the city, people, struck by this many-
colored substance, began to burn. We found those killed people with
the uncommon injuries: bodies were charred, and clothing remained
untouched ".

After looking the photographs of the pitilessly burnt Iraqi children
by Americans was recalled the condemning physiognomy of Bush, who told
with the disturbance about the "terrorists" in Beslan, placed by their
actions the life of children under the threat.
