Remember when the U.S denied using white-phosphorous in Iraq, and then bloggers found out the truth through the militarys own reports? Well they have company.
The Independent reports:
The Israeli government has admitted for the first time that it used controversial phosphorous bombs during its 34-day war campaign in Lebanon.
Which is a big Flip-Flop from earlier statements.
Previously, Israel had said the bombs had only been used to mark out targets.
They are now Staying the Course with a new spin:
Cabinet Minister Jacob Edery confirmed that the army had used the bombs to attack "military targets
Doctors however, are Aiding Terrorist Propoganda by reporting the truth:
Doctors reported treating civilians who appeared to have been hit by the shells, which leave their victims with severe chemical wounds that can be fatal.
The Israelis, much like their U.S counter-parts, have Cut And Run on the Geneva Conventions:
Geneva Convention, which bans the use of white phosphorous both as an incendiary weapon against civilians and in air attacks against military forces in civilian areas
Also Israel has also (snark alert) Killed Al Qaeda's #2 in Lebanon:
The admission of the use of the bomb comes as a 12-year-old boy was killed in Lebanon after ordnance from a cluster bomb exploded in his village in Halta, in southern Lebanon.
Rami Ali Hussein Shibly was picking olives in his village when the bomb exploded, injuring his younger brother, according to security officials.
Israel tried to Win The Hearts and Minds by:
firing up to four million cluster bombs into Lebanon during its war with Hizbollah.
UN de-mining experts say up to one million of the cluster bombs failed to explode immediately and continue to threaten civilians, especially children who can mistake the ordnance for batteries or other small objects.
Mission Accomplished.
