"Excuse me Jim but which civilians have been delibertely targeted and killed with WP munitions in Libya?"
Who said anybody was? - I said that the article was a tribute to a photo-journalist who was killed in Libya - read the script!
"Jim, are you denying that WP is primarily a smoke munition"
Don't care what its 'primary use' is supposed to be - it has the effect as described in the article, as well proven by its extensive use on civilians, both by the US and by the Israeli's. The latter use produced many accounts by medical workers, of severe injuries to non-combatants - which, I seem to remember you dismissed as expendable in previous threads.
Is napalm a 'chemical weapon'? - call it what you will, it was described as chemical at the time. All a bit academic really, as it has the effect of burning ito anything it touches, including human flesh.
Why don't you give it a name?
Agent Orange is a chemical cancer-causing defoliant whose primary use was to destroy the food source of the Vietnamese people in order to starve them into submission - what would you like to call that?
Which of your selected 'experts' would you like to call on to justify the use of any of these weapons on civilians - or don't they have the effects described on human beings ?
