Bush Lies To U. K. Napalm-Type Weapons WERE Used In Iraq

Even more damning information is surfacing about the dirty little secrets of King George and his lying bunch of creeps in the Administration concerning the Iraq invasion. The Independent is reporting: American officials lied to British ministers over the use of "internationally reviled" napalm-type firebombs in Iraq. Now before all the wingnuts on the right start accusing the Brits and the Progessive Blogosphere of misleading everyone, let's make it perfectly clear we DID NOT say they used napalm. What WAS USED were bombs known as as MK-77s, and they are napalm canister munitions. They evolved from the napalm bombs which we associate with the Korean and Vietnam wars. British Defense Minister Adam Ingram stated in a private letter obtained by The Independent that he had inadvertently misled Parliament because he had been misinformed by the US. "The US confirmed to my officials that they had not used MK77s in Iraq at any time and this was the basis of my response to you," he told Mr Cohen. "I regret to say that I have since discovered that this is not the case and must now correct the position." Mr Ingram said 30 MK77 firebombs were used by the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force in the invasion of Iraq between 31 March and 2 April 2003. They were used against military targets "away from civilian targets", he said. This avoids breaching the 1980 Convention on Certain Conventional Weapons (CCW), which permits their use only against military targets. Britain, which has no stockpiles of the weapons, ratified the convention, but the US did not. How convenient. Another convention the US didn't ratify. This lying bunch of bastards in the White House need to be impeached. Between this report and the leaked memos that have been reported on, there is more than enough evidence of "high crimes and misdemeanors" committed by this bunch. Not only did they lie and deceive their closest ally, but more importantly, they lied and deceived the American people and the entire Congress of the United States. The atrocities committed in the "War on Terror" as King George loves to call it are disgusting and if "We the people" and the US Congress don't stand up to this monster there is absolutely no hope for the country itself.
