The U.S. acknowledges that it did, in fact, use white phosphorus as a weapon in Iraq

Their defense?

Col Venable denied that white phosphorous constituted a banned chemical weapon.


Whew! What a relief! It's not banned, so it's okay to burn people's flesh with it--wait, what's that? There's more, you say?

Washington is not a signatory to an international treaty restricting the use of the substance against civilians.


...oh.
