And apparently Dr. ash-Shaykhli of Iraq's Health Ministry thinks we've been using them on the citizens of
Fallujah:
U.S. used banned weapons in Fallujah
(3/3/2005 8:30:00 PM GMT )
Dr. Khalid ash-Shaykhli, an official at Iraq's health ministry, said that the U.S. military used internationally banned weapons during its deadly offensive in the city of Fallujah.
More after the fold
Dr. ash-Shaykhli was assigned by the ministry to assess the health conditions in Fallujah following the November assault there.
He said that researches, prepared by his medical team, prove that U.S. occupation forces used internationally prohibited substances, including mustard gas, nerve gas, and other burning chemicals in their attacks in the war-torn city.
The health official announced his findings at a news conference in the health ministry building in Baghdad.
The press conference was attended by more than 20 Iraqi and foreign media networks, including the Iraqi ash-Sharqiyah TV network, the Iraqi as-Sabah newspaper, the U.S. Washington Post and the Knight-Ridder service.
Hmm. Correspondents from Knight Ridder and the Washington Post both attended the press conference? Wonder if they have any coverage of it reported on the web? Well, I guess not yet.
But I'm sure a story out of the Health Ministry for the government in Iraq which we sponsor and support with our troops, in which an official for the ministry, who was specifically assigned to investigate reports of the use of chemical weapons, concludes that our forces did use
nuclear and chemical substances
including the use of
napalm gas, a poisonous cocktail of polystyrene and jet fuel that makes the human body melt
will be extensively covered and reported by American newspapers and broadcast on the national and cable news shows? Won't it?
Oh. Sorry. My bad. What Liberal media, eh?
