With Syria being a hot topic over the past few days, I've suddenly become aware of a multitude of conspiracy theories related to the 2004 Second Battle of Fallujah.
These usually come up when someone is attacking the US' moral authority to strike against the Assad regime and its recent use of chemical weapons. "Well the US is a hypocrite because they used XX in Fallujah"
And as I've read, XX appears to be any or all of the following: Mustard Gas, Sarin Gas, NUCLEAR WEAPONS (yes, nuclear weapons, but some new kind that's undetectable), Napalm Gas (whatever the hell that is), and good old fashioned napalm. Then there are the folks claiming that the more conventional weapons like white phosphorous and depleted uranium are chemical weapons - debatable I guess.
As "in tune" to most CTs as I tend to think I am, I just found it odd that all of these Fallujah related CTs are out there. I realize that it was one heck of a battle and probably the closest US forces came to a battlefield defeat during the Iraq conflict, so maybe that's the answer.
Any thoughts?
