Titolo: Fallujah bombardata col Fosforo Bianco - altre prove


 They say they have never seen what they've hit, nor did they talk about
 it as they dusted off their breakfast and continued their hilarious
 routine of personal insults and name-calling.

are "round after round of WP needed?  "Bogert is a mortar team leader 
who directed his men to fire round after round of high explosives and 
white phosphorus charges into the city Friday and Saturday, never 
knowing what the targets were or what damage the resulting explosions 
caused.""

when used as artillery, and is only tolerated for illumination purposes. 
The use of WP in and around Fallujah has long been denied by the US 
administration. The monstrous hypocrisy of going to Iraq to disarm a 
dictator of chemical weapons, not finding any, and then using our own 
chemical weapons on civilian populations is so shocking that world 
opinion will never forgive us."

the use of WP as a weapon. When used as described in the story, WP will 
form a toxic chemical cloud which will kill within a 0.5 km radius. 
George Bernard Shaw said that the terrible consequence of a war against 
evil is that we must become worse than what we fight to succeed; I fear 
for the hearts and souls of our troops."

 UPDATE: Military Confirms Use of White Phosphorous as Weapon
 "WP  proved to be an effective and versatile munition [PDF]. We used it 
for screening missions at two breeches and, later in the fight, as a 
potent psychological weapon against the insurgents in trench lines and 
spider holes when we could not get effects on them with HE. We fired 
'shake and bake' missions at the insurgents, using WP to flush them out 
and HE to take them out."
In other words the claim by the US Government that White Phosphorus was 
used only for illumination at Fallujah had been pre-emptively debunked 
by the Army. Indeed, the article goes on to make clear that soldiers 
would have liked to have saved more WP rounds to use for "lethal 
missions."
However, as Mark Kraft, an emailer to Eric Alter's blog, Altercation, 
points out today, the Field Artillery Magazine article fails to inform 
its audience that
 . . . there is no way you can use white phosphorus like that without 
forming a deadly chemical cloud that kills everything within a tenth of 
a mile in all directions from where it hits. Obviously, the effect of 
such deadly clouds weren't just psychological in nature.
Geneva Conventions? Please. How quaint.

sicuro ??? Direi che il tempo dipende da quanto fosforo c'è dentro un 
razzo ad esempio... quello dei fiammiferi che vabbè è fosforo rosso, 
brucia istantaneamente.
Mi sembra sia lo stesso anche per il fosforo bianco a temperatura 
ambiente... nel caso dei razzi dipende appunto da quanto ce n'è.

ambiente...
Da quel che ho capito il bianco e' infiammabile ma meno del rosso, anche
se a temperatura ambiente e a contatto con l'aria puo' incendiarsi.
