Pictures from Iraq

November 20th, 2005

I have a friend serving in the military in Iraq. Mosul, to be exact. He takes photos all the time, and manages to put ‘em up on the web (how, I don’t know. I would have thought the military would forbid shit like that). Anyway, there were a couple of disturbing photos.

And I see these photos on the heels of the revelations that our military, under orders from our government, is using White Phosphor as an incendiary weapon on civilians in Fallujah. White Phosphor is basically napalm reformulated (using jet fuel instead of gasoline), but 1000 times more ’sticky’ and deadly. When white phosphor is dropped on people, it burns people right down to the bone, literally melting them away, strangely leaving clothing intact.

Which makes me wonder what happened to the child this doll head belongs to.
