"By talking down the horrors of these weapons, all used against civilians, you are making my case perfectly."

Not in the slightest Jim - you are a dissembler of facts

Your initial statement referred to persistent and habitual use by the Americans of chemical weapons deliberately targeted at civilians - I pulled you up on that and that was when this discussion about Agent Orange and Napalm came into the thread.

At the time they were used, both were "legitimate", if you wish to use the term, not being banned by any treaty or convention. Neither can in any way, shape, or form be described as a "Chemical Weapon" in the accepted sense of the term as dealt with and detailed in the CWC, or to give it it's full title - "Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production, Stockpiling and Use of Chemical Weapons and on their Destruction"

Another example of your dissembling is the accusation:

"By talking down the horrors of these weapons"

Another direct question of mine that you can ignore. I shall put it with the other one:

1: Where and when did I state that White Phosphorus was harmless?? (Still waiting for your answer on that)

2: Where and when did I ever "Talk Down" the horrors of these weapons?? (In fact I believe that I expressed an opinion that there are no nice ways of dying in an armed conflict, and no nice weapons when targeted against civilians)
