[On the allegations by the RAI that the US used white phosphorus in Iraq - this was written the day the US admitted to using it.]

this is the thing.... you can make a stretch out of anything and get it to support your political agenda. Perhaps White Phosphorus wasn't used against citizens. Iraqi militants have been doing stuff as is to try to make the U.S. look bad. Before you go on this rant about that being crap, why would they NOT want the U.S. to look bad? If they can make the U.S. look bad, people like yourself can raise this big deal over it and the ones like you can interrupt everything, and get in people's way protesting as if the President REALLY cares what you think.... What's to say that the Iraqi militants didn't use the white phosphorus against the civilians who wouldn't fight for the Iraqi army? Why would the U.S. kill innocent civilians anyways? What does that profit? It's a stretch and a half to think that they kill people just for the heck of it. You have to ask yourself what is the bigger stretch... to think that the Iraqi army did this to frame the U.S. army and build anti-American sentiment, or is it more of a stretch to think that the U.S. gets jollies from trying to kill innocent people who they said they are trying to set free? I personally think it's insane to think that the U.S. would strive to violate the Geneva Conventions. Why would they want to do that? They have a lot to lose if that's their goal.
