US uses banned weapon ..but was Tony Blair told?

By Paul Gilfeather Political Editor


US troops are secretly using outlawed napalm gas to wipe out remaining insurgents in and around Fallujah.

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.

Outraged critics have also demanded that Mr Blair threatens to withdraw British troops from Iraq unless the US abandons one of the world's most reviled weapons. Halifax Labour MP Alice Mahon said: "I am calling on Mr Blair to make an emergency statement to the Commons to explain why this is happening. It begs the question: 'Did we know about this hideous weapon's use in Iraq?'"

Since the American assault on Fallujah there have been reports of "melted" corpses, which appeared to have napalm injuries.

Last August the US was forced to admit using the gas in Iraq.

A 1980 UN convention banned the use of napalm against civilians - after pictures of a naked girl victim fleeing in Vietnam shocked the world.

America, which didn't ratify the treaty, is the only country in the world still using the weapon.

“Highly suspicious, we currently employ several agents that are similiar to napalm, but we no longer use napalm. Not saying it couldn't have happened, but how? we don't manufacture it for military use anymore. And of course we have alternatives to use.”

“I love the smell of napalm in the mornings”

“The British press taking shots at the US? No WAY!!”

“Turns out this is a rehash of a report from Al Jazeera...

In other words it's most likely bull#&%!$.

“I hate our involvement in this war, but I'm applying some common sense here...

Napalm is not a gas, yet it is called a gas twice in this "article". Credibility rating = zero.”

Hello, the election was November. Are you trying to tell me as dirty as the last election was that this issue was ignored? At least attempt to get a legit source even if the info is spun beyond belief. I guess the few contradictions in the article never caught your eye either.”

“damn conspiracy theorists”

“Every one of you who didn't vote, this (if even true) is on YOUR head too. Choosing to not take a stand is acceptance and submission to status quo.”

“Ve ver only followink orders.”

“inaction = default agreement”

“So V what's your point. Tell me something I don't already know.”

“Although our arsenal of incinerates are similar, the fact still remains that napalm has not been officially used in combat since Vietnam. What do people think about the Daisy Cutter.”
