Tue, 22 November 2005 #037 -- World -- One of the chemical weapons used by Saddam Hussein against his own people was white phosphorous. In the United States military, this substance is known as Whiskey Pete, or Willie Pete, and has been used in "Shake and Bake" missions in Fallujah. What is White Phosphorous? What does it do? Why would we use it? What is its status under international law? Did we really use it?
