Exposed: The Obama Invasion of Syria

[Something completely different]

White phosphorus is not a chemical weapon.

A distinction utterly lost on the victims. Of course, the same can be said of an artillery shell or rifle bullet.

The mere fact that a weapon inflicts pain does not have an impact on the weapon being outlawed or not. Gunshot wounds dont kill most of their victims but leave them physicaly disabled. Napalm burns you even slower than white phosphorus. Depleted Uranium causes radioactive dust to ramain on the battlefield and to harm civilians after combat has ended.

The destinction made here is that Sarin gas, which may not be as painfull or as gorey or as spectacular as everything listed above, has the capablility to kill 1400 people with a single strike.
