White phosphorous?

[Atrahasis]

But claims that U.S. use of white phosphorus--or 'Whiskey Pete', as it is called by the military--contravenes the 1993 Chemical Weapons Convention, are based on its prohibition of any "toxic chemical" weapons which cause "death, harm or temporary incapacitation to humans or animals through their chemical action on life processes." The fact that direct exposure to white phosphorus produces precisely such effects on humans has been substantiated by numerous sources, both medical and military.

C'mon, US! What's the use of liberating Iraq from Saddam if you just end up chemically burning the locals? Kind of blurs the line between the irresponsible acts of the former dictator and yourself, no?
