You know, with the sort of overwhelming military power the US Army wields, you'd think we wouldn't need to deploy incendiary weapons banned by the UN like white phosphorous. More to the point, you'd certainly not think we need it in a place like Fallujah, where our main enemies melted into the countryside and the largest task would always be winning over the citizenry. Scorching and charring anyone caught in our path there seems neither necessary nor wise.
