The use of white phosphorous in residential and civilian areas
The US also sold white phosphorus to the Saudi's so that they could do the same
Plus the cancer and birth defects from the US's use of depleted uranium

You clearly don't know anything about white phosphorus. What a shocker.

I know that it's not outlawed by the Geneva Convention.
I know that it's not indiscriminant, like a floating cloud of gas is.
Does it suck to get burned with it, sure.
Is it an outlawed weapon? Absolutely not.

Used to work with a guy who did a couple tours in Vietnam. He said they had these big glass tanks filled with water and the guys that got hit with WP grenades would get put in there. They'd turn the lights out so they could see where all the WP shards were then they'd remove them.

You're talking about the use of white phosphorous as a camouflage-like smoke screen, not when it is used, intentionally, in residential areas as a chemical weapon to burn people.

The evidence is, at very best, extremely dubious that is what was done in Fallujah.

What part of that video proves intentional targeting of civilian targets?

Dropping white phosphorus in an urban area and claiming that you wouldn't do that?

That video was making some significant leaps without sufficient evidence.

Even if true, I believe everyone in Fallujah was told that if they remained in the city after the evacuation period, they'd be considered a combatant.
