Thought I'd share FR comments on Fallujah/Sgrena/Phosphorus

[enid602]

From: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1517409/posts#comment?q=1

Not much sympathy (on the part of Freepers) towards Iraqis if the Italian claims are true. Freeper comments below:



Sgrena- isn't that the b*tch that accused US forces of trying to kill her and talked about how heroic Zarqawi was at the battle of Fallujah? The answer is yes.

Fallujah was a military victory.
Thank You George W. Bush.

says one former US solider, interviewed by the documentary's director, Sigfrido Ranucci.
Name please? This must be verified because you, Sigfrido have no credibility.

I highly doubt it. It would simply be stupid, given that WMD was one of the main reasons for the war, for us to use it.

This was reported last year. Reports that American troops were using Agent Orange.

I had gathered testimonials on the use of phosphorous and Napalm in Iraq from several refugees from Fallujah, and wanted to tell the world about it, but my kidnappers would not allow me to," said Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrena, held hostage in Iraq earlier this year, during the documentary.
Uh huh. Sure, and your kidnappers motive in supressing this information was what?

Also I urge everyone to buy "No True Glory" the book by Bing West on the Battle of Fallujah today, its a incredible book.

Yep. But it doesn't stop them from dredging it up again. When you have nothing else, try anything I suppose.

Vanity Fair will do an eight page expose of this "heroes" story, just like they did for Felt and Wilson.
I wonder if Timmy Russert's wife (at Vanity Fair) makes more than Timmy? Or do the Dems (Hillary) do: "One for you, one for you".

"The leftists will lie thru their teeth at every turn. I'm sure the NY Times will run with this next."

We know the truth, but the damage will already be done if they go ahead with this documentary.
The people will believe the lies and it will hurt our cause their.

Leftists are hellbent on destroying anything good and civil.

Italians, watching what is happening in France, wish to plug the hole in the dike (dam to those in Rio Linda.)

[tsuki]

1. And this is the bunch of, what was Scanlon's term?

Oh yes, I remember. WACKOS to whom every sperm is sacred?

:sarcasm:

[lostexpectation]

2. a defolient HA

and if it drops on people??

[enid602]

4. especially this guy's . . .

"To: mlc9852
good..... use more"

[knowbody0]

3. do you post there?

If so recommend Jarhead to them. ha ha

[enid602]

7. FR

No, but I did want to see their reaction to this. I'd followed Sgrena and periodic rumors of napalm use, but this Italian documentary really seems to pull it all together. I imagine Bush was in a bind, trying to get a quick success in Fallujah at election time. These allegations, if true (and disseminated to the Iraqi populace) will really put our troops at risk, IMO.

[knowbody0]

9. as I recall, he waited until after the election

i remember reports of "melted bodies" and accusations of chemical weapons right after the assault of Falluja.
war crimes
atrocities

shame shame shame

[enid602]

10. election

You're right, but I thought there was a build-up there the week prior to the election. Who knows when the OK was given to use these tactics.

[knowbody0]

11. WE knew it was coming

they did not dare do it b4 11/04. i can just see cheney tossing off as he looked over the plans

[jaxx]

5. They still think there are/were WMDs.

To: jmc1969
I highly doubt it. It would simply be stupid, given that WMD was one of the main reasons for the war, for us to use it.


The WMD are in the WH.

[enid602]

8. WMD

Actually, I thought that was the only intelligent comment in the post. You can see Bush's support erode even further with these revelations.

[Skittles]

6. the comment about NYT "lying" is amusing

the NYT printed plenty of lies to help get us into this piece of crap war

[madrchsod]

12. i guess they must think that the video

was a 4th of july fireworks show for the citizens of iraq...from the video it is pretty clear that we were using that shit somewhere in iraq
