Can WP be a chemical weapon? You bet it can. It all depends on how it is used.

These pictures are from Falluja.
It took ages for the Pentagon to admit they used it and only because bloggers caught them out.

Talking: Peter Kaiser. Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons

  • the jews use it over gaza to kill innocent civilians not to protect aircraft or smokescreen to hide troop movement the palestinians dont have surface to air missiles to attack the aircraft therefore the white phosphorous serves no other purpose but to kill.white phosphorous or "wiley pete" nicknamed in vietnam burns to the bone and wont stop burning even if u jump into water

  • tell that legal jargon to the person whos skins burning to the bone

  • @wotdoesitmatter Probably because mossade took down the twin towers!!

  • @jaggafeen

    To be correct: WP DOES stop buring as you jump into water, as it stops the oxygen supply to the phospor. BUT it will re-ignate once you get out of the water and it comes back in contact with air.

  • @jaggafeen Was this used on Viaetnam by the American Military?

  • if you look to gaza war in 2008 in december, we see that it is illegal use, because they used in a place where many people lived, and whe have seen the images of people (palestinian) who lost 2/3 of their skin, so the israeli militants need to be punished. But as i thought, the western rgimes protect them in any way, if they kill dozens, hundreds, dousends of innocent people from muslim origin, they get no punishment, because captalism is a big lie and is selfish

  • Lethal dose of white phosporus is equal to hydrocyanic acid: 50 mg (just 1/20 part of a gram)

  • WTF?

    Please go elsewhere with your 'what if' questions. You know the answer and you're deliberately winding me up.

    Why do I get the feeling you endorse the Holocaust too?

  • what if by banning certain weapons and banning other things, you allow a greater crime to be committed.

    Ex:

    A battle is going to happen in a major city lets say New Delhi. Lets say the two sides are the Indian Army vs the Chinese Army (aka: PLA).

    The Indian Army has these two options. They could either try and defend the city from the massive Chinese army. If the Chinese Army wins this battle, India loses the war.

    Or they could use biological weapons and defeat the Chinese army.

  • Well that is where you are wrong. The weapon DOES matter. There ARE rules in war.People who use banned weapons by definition have committed war CRIMES. Therefore, it DOES matter.

    It seems you endorse war crimes.

  • what if you had to bleed out from a bullet from 10 minutes before you finally died? Would you still take that bullet?

    What I am trying to illustrate is that the weapon does not matter. In war everything kills and everything hurts. Sometimes you might be shot in the head, then its quick and painless. Or times, you might get shrapnel in your neck and bleed out. It is all just random.

  • yes, war has rules.
