Army admits to White Phosphorus Weapons Used in Fallujah
1,243 ViewsFrom Field Artillery Magazine -
“WP [i.e., white phosphorus rounds] proved to be an effective and versatile munition. 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.”
Obviously, it wasn’t just used as a pyschological weapon. The thousands of burned bodies of men, woman and children attest to that.
Wake up America. You’re government is lying to you point-blank. Do you even care?

The poor soul in this photo is a victim of the 2004 Tsunami and died of drowning not a phosphorus weapon. The injuries above are consistent with early stages of decomposition and exposure.
