I think I saw on Pipeline an interview with someone (lefty in Lebanon) the the IDF was using phosphorus in their bombs which I guess causes severe burns. No mention was made of what the Hezzies were using in theirs. Remember how upset the left was because we used cluster bombs? Don't hear much anymore.

"I think I saw on Pipeline an interview with someone (lefty in Lebanon) the the IDF was using phosphorus in their bombs which I guess causes severe burns."

I saw that on CNN and the Hezzi doc said, "I can smell the phosphorus". Of course they were showing a badly burned child, and I could only think, how could a doctor smell phosphorus over burnt flesh? Of course Israel is not using any illegal weapons, and the videos of bombs blowing up would easily show phosphorus, but a reporter only needs innuendo. Lately, I've been yelling at the TV too much.

Phosphorus is an oddity. Once it starts burning it can't be put out because one of the by-products of burning phosphorus is oxygen. In effect, it makes its own oxygen.
