Of course there's also this from that travesty of yellow journalism, "The often-controversial munitions are common in western militaries and are used primarily to create smoke screens, though they can also be dropped as an incendiary weapon.", but really, you do need to get some help before you injure yourself with those jumps to the worst possible conclusion.

For you to be writing such derogatory things about the other posters here, you sure do have a deep seated issue of your own.

Derogatory? I called the notion there is not a smoking gun for the Russia probe naive. 

I stated a fact you called it yellow journalism. Shall I just post the FOX version of any "fact" so it is scrubbed enough for you? (Dozens of news outlets have this story) This section has been thoroughly ruined over the past 9 months. This is not a forum for debate about whether something is good or just or justified or legal..  It is an echo chamber or the mob rules mentality. I stopped posting here for months for several reasons, but this thread has just justified my absence. Nothing changes here. 

Here is a fact.

"It's not a fact as you stated it."

"You're just saying that because you can't say anything about Russia."

"You're being derogatory."

Let me guess..  I am a snowkflake who can't deal?

Did you read the article you posted?  

Let me help you connect the dots:
1.  The military admitted to using phosphorus.
2.  It us used as a smoke screen.  Typing slowly now so you can understand.  S o    t h e   e n e m y   c a n n o t    s e e   y o u.
3.  Used but within the guidelines of all international accepted practices.

In conclusion, nothing to see here, but #becausetrump.

And if any news outlet aside from FOX (who has posted about this btw) or Infowars talks about this it's yellow journalism or fake news. And we need a "bad language" filter on the word naivete as it is derogatory. And every one of you would be defending this in exactly the same manner if this went down under Obama.

Yup. This is exactly why I stopped posting in this forum. Reality, logic, facts, reason, common sense... They are all checked at the door the moment this section of the board is accessed.

Yes, I can honestly say if you replace the timeline and the word Trump with Obama I would have the exact same stance.  Would you?

In defense of the Washington Post, the article is very fair.   It's Kotite's characterization of the article that is unfair.

The article says, according to a couple of groups and a video, it's happened a couple of times, but it also says that use of that stuff is very common and proper, and it's not been confirmed that it actually happened in an improper way.   That's a very fair article.   Any thinking person can read that article and draw their own conclusions.  

When Kotite says, look at how Trump is going after civilians, that is what is unfair.  Not the original article.

The headline of the article is misleading.  THAT is my issue with the media these days.  They use misleading headlines to misinform the masses that do not actually read the details.
