White Phosphorus In Iraq?

There is a big new report making the rounds this week that the U.S. military used white phosphorus, a chemical weapon, in Iraq last year during our raid on Fallujah. The Pentagon (quite reluctantly) admitted to using it this week, but said it wasn't used against civilians, just enemy combatants. Well, that's good. There are also videos making the rounds that paint a more disturbing view of the situation.

Not making any statements, per se, on this discovery (don't want to be accused of being a far-left, anti-military, terrorist sympathizing smear 'guttersnipe')- just sort of throwing it out there. Because it is an important story. I mean, I know it's not as important of a topic as the story of the overtaking of the internet by machines that Matt Drudge is leading with today, but hey it's close.
