Have the US used Chemical Weapons in Fallujah?

At first I didn't notice, the spots of pinky red on the photo were enough to say "blood" and that these kids were shot or killed by conventional weapons. I was more revulsed by the casualness of the "trophy-kill" snap.

It suddenly hit me, what I was looking at was the result of a Chemical Attack of some sort. There are no wounds on any of the bodies. No pools of blood. No shattered frames hit by high calibre guns. I'm not a forensic toxicologist but the demeanour of the bodies suggests death by asphyxiation. They all choked to death. Remember the images from Halabja?

No they didn't die somewhere else and were moved, they died right there. How do I know? Third in we see a little girl who kicked off her pink slippers as she writhed in agony on the ground gasping for a breath. The boy furthest away in close up reveals him in a convulsed state, a death-throe similar to the gas victims from ww2.
