Impeachment Blaira. Napalm użyty w Faludży.
narmi : http://www.irak.pl	28-11-2004 23:37
28 listopada 2004 Mnożą się doniesienia o tym, że - poza innymi zakazanymi rodzajami broni chemicznej - wojska amerykańskie użyły napalmu podczas ataku na Faludżę. W sobotę posłowie brytyjscy (m.in. Alice Mahon z Partii Pracy) zażądali, by Tony Blair złożył wyjaśnienia w Izbie Gmin w sprawie użycia napalmu w Iraku. Grupa parlamentarzystów prowadzi także akcję zmierzającą do impeachmentu (pozbawienia urzędu) premiera Blaira, do której dołaczyli przeciwnicy wojny w Iraku: pisarze Frederick Forsyth i Iain Banks oraz aktorzy Susan Wooldridge i Vanessa Redgrave. Sygnatariusze wniosku powołują się na opinię sekretarza generalnego ONZ Kofi Annana, według którego wojna z Irakiem była sprzeczna z międzynarodowym prawem; oczekują, że w Izbie Gmin odbędzie się debata poświęcona postępowaniu Blaira w sprawie konfliktu irackiego.
Napalm - cocktail of polystyrene and jet fuel A 16 month-old Fallujah child cries while lying in a Baghdad hospital U.S. uses napalm gas in Fallujah – Witnesses 11/28/2004 3:12:00 PM GMT The U.S. military is secretly using banned napalm gas and other outlawed weapons against civilians in the Iraqi city of Fallujah, eyewitnesses reported. Residents in Fallujah reported that innocent civilians have been killed by napalm attacks, a poisonous cocktail of polystyrene and jet fuel which makes the human body melt. Since the U.S. offensive started in Fallujah earlier this month, there have been reports of “melted” bodies which proves that the napalm gas had been used. "Poisonous gases have been used in Fallujah," 35-year-old Fallujah resident, Abu Hammad said. "They used everything -- tanks, artillery, infantry, and poisonous gas. Fallujah has been bombed to the ground." Hammad was living in the Julan district of Fallujah which witnessed some of the heaviest attacks. Other residents of that area also said that banned weapons were used. Abu Sabah, said; “They used these weird bombs that put up smoke like a mushroom cloud… then small pieces fall from the air with long tails of smoke behind them." He said that pieces of these strange bombs explode into large fires that burn the skin even when water is thrown on the burns. Phosphorous arms and the napalm gas are known to have such effects. "People suffered so much from these," Abu Sabah said. Fallujah “almost gone” Kassem Mohammed Ahmed, who fled Fallujah last week, said that he witnessed many atrocities committed by U.S. troops in the shattered city. "I watched them roll over wounded people in the street with tanks," he said. "This happened so many times." Another Fallujah resident Khalil (40) said that “Fallujah is suffering too much, it is almost gone now." He added that refugees are in a miserable situation now, "It's a disaster living here at this camp," Khalil said. "We are living like dogs and the kids do not have enough clothes." In many refugee camps around Fallujah and Baghdad, people are living without enough food, clothing and shelter. Relief groups estimate that there are more than 15,000 refugee families in temporary shelters outside Fallujah. Blair under fire over the use of napalm On Saturday, Labor MPs have demanded that British Prime Minister confront the Commons over the use of the deadly gas in Fallujah. Halifax Labor MP Alice Mahon said: "I am calling on Mr. Blair to make an emergency statement to the Commons to explain why this is happening. It begs the question: 'Did we know about this hideous weapon's use in Iraq?'" Furious critics have also demanded that Blair threatens the U.S. to pullout British forces from Iraq unless the U.S. stops using the world’s deadliest weapon. The United Nations banned the use of the napalm gas against civilians in 1980 after pictures of a naked wounded girl in Vietnam shocked the world. The United States, which didn't endorse the convention, is the only nation in the world still using the deadly weapon. _______________________________________________________________________ 23 MPs across the political parties laid before the House of Commons a motion calling for a select committee to examine the case for impeaching the Prime Minister for his conduct over the war in Iraq. The last time such proceedings were brought successfully was in 1806, against the "uncrowned King of Scotland", Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville, although it was his behaviour at the Admiralty rather than in Scotland which was under examination. Melville was acquitted, which serves as a reminder that impeachment is a parliamentary process of examination and accountability rather than, in itself, a verdict. The key question is whether the Prime Minister has a case to answer. In a carefully argued paper , prepared for MPs, academics Dan Plesch and Glen Rangwala document 28 instances where the Prime Minister’s public statements are apparently at variance with the information that he had then received from the intelligence services.
