Controlled Substances

nihil per os

Two months ago Iyad Allawi's regime (really just a device for coloring snowflakes from the Bremer Negroponte CENTCOM SecDef Whitehouse mobs) stopped supplying hospitals and clinics in Falluja. The Red Cresent convoy turned away from Falluja yesterday reports that Falluja's main hospital, seized over a week ago, does not even have aspirin.

The Allawi position of record is still that there are no civilians in Falluja, therefore no need for aid to non-existant civilians.

The Bush position of record is that there are some persons in US custody in Falluja and that they are receiving adequate medical assistance, therefore there is no need for aid to non-existant civilians not in US custody.

Thus far, no officers, retired or still on active duty, have put their names to a paper advising commanders in the field that unlawful orders must not be followed, and orders that give rise to uncontrolled conditions among civilian populations are not presumptively lawful.
