Did I say the US military should leave Iraq gradually? Let me revise that opinion.

Did I say we should pull out of Iraq gradually? Never mind. If this is the shit we're doing over there we need to get out now.

Italian news report to be aired: US military used Napalm MK77 and white phosphorous as chemical weapons on Fallujah civilians.

White phosphorous is usually used to illuminate targets, but apparently the US military dumped large quantities of it on people, causing bizarre effects: clothing untouched while flesh was melted down to the bone. The report is taken from former US military personnel and eyewitness accounts from Fallujah residents.

wildernessguru, military analyst says: "What the fuck do we think we're doing over there?" He wants to know if anyone on my f-list is going to see this broadcast.

It's being broadcast in Italy today: Fallujah. La strage nascosta [Fallujah, The Concealed Massacre] will be shown on RAI News tomorrow November 8th at 07:35 (via HOT BIRDTM statellite, Sky Channel 506 and RAI-3), and rebroadcast by HOT BIRDTM satellite and Sky Channel 506 at 17:00 [5 pm] and over the next two days.

it's time to declare victory and pull out. this whole war is a stupid disaster. I'm so sick and concerned for both the people in Iraq and all of the soliders involved in this.
and hey -- aren't we in a war in Afghanistan?

Murtha has definitively made it clear that it's time to leave Iraq. Wow. Have you read his entire speech?
