The Truthout url provided below also has a link to a documentary video.

The use of the incendiary substance on civilians is forbidden by a 1980 UN treaty. The use of chemical weapons is forbidden by a treaty which the US signed in 1997. Is there anyone here that could find justification in using white phosphorus on Fallujah's civilians, as we did in Viet Nam?
