phosphorus boms aren't a WMD. They are used for traces and to make smoke for confusion of the enemy.

No, they didn't use Weapons of Mass Destruction. Again, when did Israel use Weapons of Mass Destruction? Chemical (such as VX gas), Biological (such as anthrax), or Nuclear (such as Hiroshima)?

If America is the country to fly these air attacks America should be paid 10 million dollars per bomb dropped.

Not true.
Hey, guess what, the title of the thread is chemical weapons.
Shooting phosphorous at people is chemical weapon use.
You're determining what you think meets your criteria, I guess you wouldn't mind phosphorous bombs being used on you or your family or in your country since they're not a problem.

You're posts portray you as quite a war monger yet you don't volunteer to do the dirty work.
Why is that?

Phosphorus has been used by armies since World War I. During World War II and Vietnam the U.S. and British armies made extensive use of phosphorus. During recent decades the tendency has been to ban the use of phosphorus munitions against any target, civilian or military, because of the severity of the injuries that the substance causes.

Maybe when Hillary is elected in 2016 and we finally have a surplus when teabaggers lose their influence and the rich pay the tax rates they paid during the Reagan and Clinton years and things return to normalcy. Maybe.
The GOP bankrupted the nation with the wars despite the fact that Democrat majorities in both houses of congress voted for it? Nice revisionist history there.

Yeah, the Bush administration's fear mongering tactics worked very well didn't they, and Americans, conservative and liberal alike bought it hook, line and sinker, by gosh, they even had me convinced saddam was behind the 9/11/01 attacks. It was but a short time later we who could think about it more clearly found that invading Iraq was a ruse.

All weapons are chemical by your definition. Tracer rounds, gun powder.

These aren't weapons of mass destruction.

I think everyone knows what the op meant by chemicals

Agreed. Syria has no energy and is of no strategic value to the US. We have Turkey (a stronger military force) as an ally to the north and Israel to the south. Whatever government takes over in Syria, it will be equally as hostile to both Israel and Turkey. So who cares?

Let them kill each other and be weaker militarily. Of course, Iran will move in and establish influence, but I can't imagine it will be worse that what is there now.

There is NO NEED TO WASTE US TROOPS AND TREASURE ON THIS MESS!

I'm torn actually... I've been a supporter of no action in Syria, but chemical weapons changes things a bit. I am leaning more toward getting involved in some way, even militarily, but it should be clear that it would be a short time thing, no nation building etc.


nope, dont really care. if syria using those chemical bombs on Israel, I hope they like the nukes in exchange coming from Israel.
