White phosphorus is an incendiary device used by the military to conceal troop movements with smoke, mark targets, or light up combat areas. The use of incendiary weapons against civilians has been banned by the Geneva Convention since 1980.

A United Nations official says the United States did not sign the relevant protocol to the convention.

Apparently, there is no problem. We did not sign the protocol. Smart thinking on the part of Bush and Cheney. You don't sign the protocols, you can not be found guilty.
