Have any of you guys heard about the United States dropping white phosphorous over Fallujah? HOLY SHIT! People, that is illegal chemical warfare!!! Not to mention our use of Mark 77 and cluster bombs. ARGGGHH! I wish it were 08 already.

Yarr, white phosphorus is a terrible substance. It burns on touch. Burns through anything organic, and some more.

Any supporting articles? Yes, I am too lazy to look it up myself.

Don't believe everything you hear. By the way, The Blair Witch Project was fake.

"Use of white phosphorus is not specifically banned by any treaty, however the 1980 Convention on Conventional Weapons (Protocol III) prohibits the use of incendiary weapons against civilian populations or by air attack against military forces that are located within concentrations of civilians. [1] The United States is among the nations that have not signed this protocol."

"According to accounts of both U.S. soldiers and Iraqis, white phosphorous was used by the U.S. military in the November 2004 invasion of Falluja, injuring people (Iraq Analysis Group 2005)."
