WP is a Chemical Weapon per the DoD

Following up on earlier posts here on this topic, it's now being reported that the US Government has classified White Phosphorus as a chemical weapon when it suited us. Now that we've been busted using it, of course, the classification has changed, much like the justification for the preemptive war.

See the article here.

Don't like that source because it's foreign? Try this one and scroll down to the heading:

Controversy over US use of white phosphorus continues

Under that heading is a snip from a declassified DoD document that says:
IRAQ HAS POSSIBLY EMPLOYED PHOSPHOROUS CHEMICAL WEAPONS AGAINST THE KURDISH POPULATION IN AREAS ALONG THE IRAQI-TURKISH-IRANIAN BORDERS.
There are other damning references to WP as a Chemical Weapon in this document.
