you are right they did outlaw Agent orange after the effects on soldiers were seen in the hundreds of thousands. Napalm was also used and outlawed. However since they made the use of Napalm illegal, they had to find something else to take its place, and that is white phosphorus. Its alleged use is to destroy weapon caches or materials that could be helpful in aiding the enemy. That is until we start dropping it into heavily populated civilian neighborhoods like we did in fallujah.
its not just the fault of George Bush, its the fault of everyone who carried out his orders even if they were grossly against international law. Dont think because something is outlawed they wont use something just as bad.
