In 1980, the United Nations declared that "the gel's use on concentrations of civilians a war crime".[1]
Napalm B became an intrinsic element of U.S. military action during the Vietnam War; as forces increasingly employed its widespread tactical as well as psychological effects.[18] Reportedly about 388,000 tons of U.S. napalm bombs were dropped in the region between 1963 and 1973, compared to 32,357 tons used over three years in the Korean War, and 16,500 tons dropped on Japan in 1945.

How much CW was used in Syria?
Pot and kettle?
A fair point to raise. Although (I assume?) the US did not target civilians, Assad was targeting only rebels? Or, did he target civilians?

The US factually did hit civilians (intentionally or uninteniontally) with napalm.

So is it OK to ask: is this a pot and kettle issue?
