“Napalm is ‘a mixture of naphthenic and aliphatic carboxylic acid’. I don’t know about you, but ‘a mixture of naphthenic and aliphatic carboxylic acid’ sounds awfully ‘chemical’ to me, and yet this weapon has been liberally used by the US army to incinerate soldiers (and luckless civilians) in many recent wars, including Gulf War 1. So maybe the ‘global red line against chemical weapons’ has a strange footnote which exempts chemical weapons that are devised in America? That makes sense, because the greatest anomaly, when it comes to Kerry’s global red line, is Agent Orange.”
