#1 Put some of the Amnesty International grubs into a masonry building, and let them experience some Willie Pete rounds being used to suppress effective resistance from their building. Then - repeat the experiment using standard HE rounds to suppress the buildings.

If any of them survive, ask them which mode of suppression they would prefer to have applied against their building.

From the photos of Gaza that I've seen, there were not a lot of wooden buildings - it was all masonry block buildings.

#3 Isreal having the nerve to win the battle comes off as a war crime to these people.

#4 White phosphorous evidence in Gaza 'undeniable' says Amnesty

Doesn't this sort of suggest that Israel denied using them in the first place?

#5 That's petty from the juices, I mean, in fallujah I, the USA used micro-nukes and that very special kind of phosphorus that burns people to a crisp without touching their clothes, even their undies, that's what those brave mysteries-solving commies from that italian ngo discovered. So, like the depleted uranium, it seems they didn't even bother to get average stuff for those poor misappreciated arabs.
I think there's even an hint of racism here, I mean, what did little Schlomo get for hanukka? I'll tell you what, ENRICHED uranium and that special fallujah magic phosphorus, both still in original wrapping... and what did little mouloud get? Depleted uranium and plain old WP, delivered by anonymous and uncaring governement employees.

That's uncool, really, you could do better, israeli people.

#6 Not to be a micro observer here, 5089, but "micro-nukes? Ummmm

#7 Micro-nukes is what the CIA used to blow up Bali's nightclub in order to... I'm not sure what was the goal, but it was nefarious, and islamophobic, for sure... so sez bashir (probably stolen from western conspiracies websites, in a lull during a pr0n surfing evening), and, if you can't trust bashir, then, who can you trust? Obviously, micro-nukes were not what was used by the US Hegemon to cause the 2004 tsunami, because, well, they're too small. Probably scalar weaponry, I'd venture, then.

#8 I confess, 5089. It was the Lizardoid minions from Little Green Footballs. Here is the whole story in graphic form:

#10 I fixed it. Folks, be sure to use a width= parameter when you post photos - no more than 550 pixels or so. The mods don't have time to go find and fix this sort of thing on a regular basis.

Or, just hotlink to the picture at another site.

#15 Apparently white phosphorous is this conflict's depleted uranium. They are seeing it everywhere and even when correctly recognized it is incorrectly labeled as a weapon rather than smoke, or flare, or whatever.

#17 5089, you need to use the /snark tag or someone might think you believe that crazy nonsense.

#18 Christopher Cobb-Smith website includes a glowing testimonial from Scott Ritter.

from the website:

"He is regarded as a leading expert on Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD)."

A leading expert on stuff that doesn't exist? Whoa!
