A photographer captured this attack on Oct 15 on the Lebanese border village of al-Bustan. It shows the tell-tale smoke trails of white phosphorous
* Israel has used white phosphorous in attacks on southern Lebanon
* Rights groups say that on at least one occasion it amounted to a war crime
* Now an investigation reveals the munitions were supplied by the US
The White House is concerned about allegations that Israel used white phosphorus supplied by the U.S. during an attack in southern Lebanon, a spokesman said Monday.
Weapons packed with white phosphorous are not banned under international law but are tightly regulated because of the way they can cause horrific burns.
An investigation published Monday accused the U.S. of supplying munitions that wounded nine civilians in an attack in October.

The important thing is that America starves as many people in Gaza as possible.
That stuff was used against us in Afghanistan. I remember hearing an explosion at night while on guard duty and I looked behind me. The entire landscape looked like the Milky Way through Nods. It was one of the most beautiful sights I ever witnessed.
WP is technically a smoke round. Yes HAHAHAHAHA. we used it for smoke, yea that's right. Little bastards deserved to be smoked. It burns. like putting acid on your skin. It keeps on burning until it has used its self up or deprived of oxygen. You cannot put this stuff out by pouring water on it or dirt like gasoline that is aflame. And if you put it under water, as soon as it is exposed to oxygen again, it restarts to burn.
Nasty stuff. But no worries, it is only a smoke round. HAHAHAHAHA.
If you are using this stuff against civilians, kids and old ladies....then you are a real monster.
They called in the Einsatzgruppen yet? Old Oskar Dirlewanger is smiling in hell.
Willie Pete is allowed by international law for certain purposes but outlawed when used against civilian targets. We have used it in Viet Nam heavily and in Fallujah. I'm not going to get excited about it until I know what and why of the target or see a gaggle of severely burned non combatants.
Fair enough
