White Phosphorous is not a chemical weapon. It is an explosive.

LOL! While tear gas and stink bombs ARE chemical weapons. What a moron this guy is. Chemical weapons are used all the time, they just aren't lethal.

WP is not an explosive, but a smoke agent or an incendiary.

Explosive? Not really ... needs a small bursting charge to spread the chunks around. It's a very effective incendiary and obscurant, though.
Calling it a chemical weapon (and raising images of Mustard Gas or VX) is the height of yellow journalism. This nonsense is coming from the same mental midgets who rant and rave about depleted uranium.

White Phosphorous is not a chemical weapon. Sorry, this is the Guardian - it's a fact-free zone....
