Well Freda & Don T, Agent Orange was not considered to be a chemical warfare agent, it was classified as a Herbicide and a Defoliant.

Chemical and Biological Warfare agents are designed to be targeted at personnel and they are designed to deliberately kill or incapacitate people. Agent Orange was never targeted at people and it most definitiely wasn't designed or used to kill people. –Teribus

Well, Magnesium is "classified" 12th and Phosphorus is "classified" 15th on the periodic table. They can also be used on anything from toothpaste, road flares and even herbicides. Unfortunately, they can also be used for bombs and nerve agents.

White Phosphorus is also "classified" as a chemical weapon by the U.S., but is sure did not stop them from using it in Iraq, nor did it stop the Israelis from using it in Gaza.

Hypocrites and wicked, best describes anyone that thinks that random or mass murder is justifiable, under ANY circumstance.
