U.S. Lies About Use of Chemical Weapons

All this talk ... all this Bull Hockey.

Lets strip down all these rightwingers and dust them down with WP and see if they think there are chemicals involved. Let's see if they can figure out what a chemical reaction is.

If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck and shits like a duck, it's a bloody duck!!

Perhaps they might think less of the use of it if they got to experience it firsthand.

So then, by your definition and by the accepted description of the treaty, we can FINALLY agree that White Phosphorus is NOT a chemical weapon, but instead is a CONVENTIONAL WEAPON.

These are just a few of the TRUE chemical weapons, please don't make the mistake of confusing a nasty conventional weapon with a true weapon of horror like chemical weapons.

No need to shout at me, Fedral, I never got involved in the discussion over whether WP is or is not a chemical weapon. Frankly, that debate doesn't really interest me. If you want a concession, I suggest you look elsewhere.

I never did.

Fine, strip down and dust up Fedral. See if you think there is any less horror than the chemicals that you are calling chemical weapons. You're a big brave man, step up and show us how harmless it is!! I think you'll find the damage just as profound!!

You're telling me that WP is not a chemical weapon. First IT IS a chemical. In terms of being a weapon, it depends on how you're using it.

If you pour a gallon of gas in a bottle, stuff a cloth in the neck, light it, and then throw it in a building ... is it a weapon?

You're toying with semantics and not considering what the action of the element is.

It's a chemical action,

and when used as a weapon as OUR military did, it's a chemical weapon.

I will anxiously await your doctoral thesis on how this is not a chemical reaction, and the use of this of one person against another is not that of a weapon. You be sure to let me know when it is finished!

Why you are waiting, maybe you could educate yourself on what the term "chemical weapon" means.

Had you done such research before talking about the subject, you wouldn't have made yourself look so foolish by going on about "chemical reactions" -- which has nothing to do with the definition of the term "chemical weapon".

More Bullhockey and semantics. I would love to blow some of this stuff in your face and see how interested you would be in playing word games about it.

Obviously, the 86 or so countries that have ratified the CCW think that there's a difference between incendiary and non-incendiary weapons, and decided that burning someone to death is, all things considered, worse than killing them by some more conventional method

Your argument is that it can't be a chemical weapon because it isn't on some approved list by the degenerate idiots and morons who use them on people?

If someone used it on us, you'd be the first one in line screaming bloody murder.

We deserve everything they do to us, and more! We've EARNED it!!

"DURING THE BRUTAL CRACKDOWN THAT FOLLOWED THE KURDISH UPRISING, IRAQI FORCES LOYAL TO PRESIDENT SADDAM ((HUSSEIN)) MAY HAVE POSSIBLY USED WHITE PHOSPHOROUS (WP) CHEMICAL WEAPONS AGAINST KURDISH REBELS AND THE POPULACE IN ERBIL ... AND DOHUK ... PROVINCES, IRAQ. THE WP CHEMICAL WAS DELIVERED BY ARTILLERY ROUNDS AND HELICOPTER GUNSHIPS (NO FURTHER INFORMATION AT THIS TIME)."

Pentagon classified it as a chemical weapon.
