Guns and bombs again
What's most interesting in this story about the Pentagon's confession that the US used white phosphorus in Falluja is not that the lie-unravelling-confession cycle is getting shorter, but this snippet from Tory arsewipe, Liam Fox:And I think that, although white phosphorus is a brutal weapon, we need to remember that we were talking about some pretty brutal insurgents. These were the people who were hacking off hostages' heads with knives.
Forgetting for a moment that these were not the people who were hacking off hostages' heads with knives, I'd be wanting to question Mr Fox's principle. He seems to be saying that two wrongs make a right; that it's perfectly okay to use chemical weapons against people if they're bad enough.
Mr Fox, many have decried Saddam for his use of chemical weaponry. Would you agree that because he thought the people he was using them on were very bad -- who could be worse for a despot than those who oppose his rule? -- it was okay to use them?
No, I thought not. They're an abomination in his hands, hey?
