This news article confirms just some of what I heard at dinner Sunday evening with my Embassy friends. Falluja was destroyed, and calling white phosphorous an "incendiary weapon" instead of what it truly is - a chemical weapon - is like saying an in-call escort is not a prostitute (walks like a duck, talks like a duck). What happened at Falluja, from what I was told, was an all out, whole scale destruction of the city by any and all means available. There were a lot of civilian casualties.
