Lebanese PM claiming that Israeli is using white phosphorous, too.

"PARIS: Lebanon’s president accused Israel yesterday of using phosphorous bombs in its 13-day offensive and urged the UN to demand an immediate ceasefire.

“According to the Geneva Convention, when they use phosphorous bombs and laser bombs, is that allowed against civilians and children?” President Emile Lahoud asked on France’s RFI radio.

An Israeli military spokeswoman said arms used in Lebanon did not contravene international norms."

Andy Cooper even had a segment on his show about it last night, going so far as to have CNN Medical expert, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, to discuss burn patterns that would result from its use.

Of course, they had no proof but they didn't let that stop them.

(Wasn't there a big hue and cry from the pantywaist crowd about this in Iraq, too?)

Yeah? How about those Hizbollah car-bombers using 100-lb sacks and crates of nails? Where's that in the Geneva Convention?
