And does anyone honestly think we could get away with using these on a city, when we had reporters, sometimes quite hostile to the marines if you recall, with the marine units? This was during the most closely monitored offensive in modern warfare history.
You can't cover up the effects of a fire bombing on a city, give me a break.

How many civilian casualties have their been in Iraq since the beginning of the war? And why don't you know for sure? But what about the hostile reporters? Isn't this the most closely monitored offensive in modern warfare history?
We don't know shit about this war. We get reports like this all the time. We're probably using cluster bombs, we're kidnaping civilians and are torturing them. But how do we know for sure? I'm not in Iraq, and neither are you. We try to trust that the information we get is trustworthy, but we know it isn't. So how can you say, in all seriousness, that the use of napalm can't be covered up?
