POPSUse of WP by Taliban on Western Forces reprehensible After using WP themselves, and supplying it to Israel to drop on Palestinians, now the US military are complaining about it being used against them. Right-wing news sources usually say stuff like: “White phosphorus is not banned by any treaty that the United States has signed.” That’s because the US doesn’t like to sign any international treaties that might get them in trouble. Like the International Criminal Court.

White phosphorus is the constituent of napalm that makes it keep burning under water. Whie phosphorus is so reactive that it splits water molecules creating hydrogen and oxygen, which is why it can keep burning.

I've been reading his book The Great War for Civilisation: The Conquest of the Middle East ( Shortened URL to Amazon US: http://bit.ly/4dwSnf ). Highly recommended reading!

POPSRobert Fisk on the Israeli attacks on gaza Excellent article, of which the following snip is just one part of his commentary. Robert Fisk is one of my favourite commentator son the Middle East. Well worth reading if you are following this news topic. Another bit I liked: Is Hamas going to say: "Wow, this blitz is awesome – we'd better recognise the state of Israel, fall in line with the Palestinian Authority, lay down our weapons and pray we are taken prisoner and locked up indefinitely and support a new American 'peace process' in the Middle East!" ...

POPSThe Guardian on the Palestinian Massacres According to an interview in The Nation with Lakhdar Brahimi, a UN troubleshooter in the Middle East: http://www.thenation.com/doc/20090112/crossette The elections are soon and Ehud wants to pump up his public support. Especially since the Lebanon assaulty was a failure. What a prick.
