It's not. WP was heavily used in the Second World War by the Allies, including Canada, against both Germany and Japan*, for exactly the same reasons and missions it's being used now. But yes, a WP artillery shell is a bad thing to have land near you... not nearly as bad as a regular high-explosive artillery shell of the same size, but certainly the next worst thing. The job of those opposed would be much harder, of course, if the pro- side had any more of a clue what they were talking about. The State Department's retracted statement, that WP was "fired into the air at night," is classic. It should go without saying that using a smoke shell to try to light up a dark sky would be a failure... I guess only the State Department could confuse phosphorus with magnesium, which is what real illuminating rounds are made of. I've seen a lot of people claiming that the 1980 Incendiary Weapons protocol of Geneva forbids the use of white phosphorus against civilians. It does not. It forbids the use of "incendiaries," and specifically excludes weapons like WP where the incendiary effect is a secondary effect of smoke production (incendiary weapons by definition are those weapons designed to create fires... WP occasionally will start fires, but it's not very reliable in that role... generally it just creates a lot of smoke). Whether the U.S. has signed it or not is irrelevant. ---------------------------------------------------------------- 4 out of 5 Iraqis choose democracy!

The current administration has been using the constitution for bog roll since Osama (remember him? he attacked us you know) gave them an excuse and stunned the press into inaction. It has taken them about 4 years to recover their cojones, but the free ride is over. What we are looking for in the next election is someone willing to resurrect america as envisioned by the framers of the constitution (a bunch o atheistic libruls don'tcha know). Most likely, they'll be colored blue. The [link\|http://www.surveyusa.com/50State2005/50StatePOTUS1105SortbyState.htm\|data] doesn't look good for your war criminals and neo-McCarthyites.

Post #236,174 by Another Scott 11/27/05 9:53:14 AM Reply	Re: your link. Utah and Idaho are, um, strange. I can see why they'd still be supporting Bush (but the margin surprises me). Why aren't Louisiana and Mississippi off the chart? I'd like to think these polls mean something in times like this, but I really don't. I think polls are swayed by reporting of them. That is, if there's good news about the country and the polling numbers are good, then the polling numbers will continue to rise even if the good news has little or nothing to do with the president's policies. What could people point to that they liked when Bush's numbers were 90% approval? Just going to Afghanistan, AFAIK. I don't think 90% liked his tax cuts, etc. In other words, we won't really start to know if Bush and the Republicans are in trouble with the electorate until September or October of next year - when people have a real choice on the ballot and when the candidates are talking in specifics about the issues. Cheers, Scott.

He only really comes into his own when he has someone to play against. As they say -- you don't have to outrun the bear, you just have to make sure no one sees you clobber your fishing buddy over the head from behind as you run. Have whatever values you have. That's what America is for. You don't need George Bush for that.
