| Houthis release photos of Saudi phosphorous bombs |
| 2009-11-18 |
| Houthi fighters in Yemen say Saudi forces have used unconventional weapons in their fight against Shias in northern country. The fighters said many civilians were killed or injured after Saudi warplanes dropped phosphorous bombs on villages in north. They have also released pictures of phosphorus bomb attacks by Saudi warplanes. In a move to protect the civilian population from the raging war in north Yemen, Amnesty International wrote a letter to Saudi Arabia's Defense Minister, Crown Prince Sultan bin 'Abdul 'Aziz Al-Saud last week asking whether phosphorus bombs were used in the attacks. The London-based rights group demanded Riyadh's explanation about the manner in which the bombs were used and what precautions were taken to ensure that civilians were not put at risk. The organization however has received no response from Saudi officials yet. Saudi Arabia launched earlier in November an offensive against Shia fighters, who accuse the kingdom of supporting the Yemeni government in its crackdown. The Yemeni government launched Operation Scorched Earth in August in an effort to crush the Houthis, whom it accuses of seeking to restore an imamate that was overthrown in 1962. The Houthis, however, dismiss the accusations, saying they are only seeking to put an end to the government's discriminatory policies against them. |

| #3 I just dont get it. A corpse NEVER complains about HOW it got so cold. The ONLY reason you DONT use gas is because if you dont the other guy wont either..hopefully. Remember Dum-dum bulets? Same thing. But , trust me ,we use 50 cal. rounds for sniper rifles now. Corpses dont CARE, S'truth. What is the PROBLEM with Willy Pete ( White Phosphorous )? A very good item. Scares people? GOOD, you WANT 'em scared. FEAR is what you NEED. Gitcha Gotcha. It kills people and makes a body the dog wont even touch? Pigs wont even eat it. But! does it WORK? Yes, it does. You want to kill these people? YES!, you do. So, get some. Your PC nanny neighbors will be shocked? The French will disapprove? The Germans will lose their "respect" for you. Libya will frown and invade Chad? So? They might get ideas about using Nape and Snake on YOU? How about Gentlemen dont act that way? Does THAT bother you? You know where GAS works really good ( know your tools ) is in Tunnels and Caves. Willy Pete is a tool just like ANY other tool. A tool is morally neutral. Killing people is what you have DECIDED to DO.The Tool you USE doesnt matter ( not at all).There are no evil Tools. You want EFFICIENCY. ACCURATE, Quick,Horrific, and Memorable...and a lot of Silence when you are done. You dont care about the Smell or the Mess. If you cant hide the Blood,dont bother to hide the Body. And Screw the French. In a narrow rocky Valley Willy Pete will WORK. And it sticks to surfaces and it will burn metal and rock and the Goat. It smells bad and water wont put it out. It doesnt just Burn ON you, it Burns INTO you. Do you want to encourage people to move? So you dont HAVE to assault up hill to MAKE them move? Save your own life while taking THEIRS ( and getting completely away with it )? Yeah? Coax them out of those rocks with ( our friend ) Willy Pete. When its too tight to use Nape, you CAN shell them...with White Phosphorous. OR would you LIKE to climb up there and go head to head YOURSELF when you COULD just stand here and listen to them scream while they burn...and then WALK in and shoot the survivors ( and the Goat is still warm). |

| #1 The fighters said many civilians were killed or injured after Saudi warplanes dropped phosphorous bombs on villages in north. The Israelis held back on stuff like this. Even gave the Innocent Civilians(TM) an extra day or two to mosey on out of the conflict zone before they had at the bad guys who remained in the area. I thought it was stupid then, and I still do. Looks like the Saudis think it was stupid, too. |
