But, for anyone who ever had a Bleach Accident doing their Laundry....the effects can be devastating...but hardly as harsh as White Phosphorus, Drone Bombs, or other more harsh WMD.

It can, indeed do damage if it is poured on person at full strength. But dropping and the fumes drifting is a different issue.
It could knock one out if you are close and could burn your skin and kill little children......but, if this is the Best they've Got...compared to the REAL/WMD....then it would beg the issue of the deaths of people from "dropped bleach bombs."

I'm not sure they were more concentrated than ordinary Clorox pool supplies..and possibly they were....but it seems more a "Separatist/Rebel" action than an ASSAD action where he had access to much more devastating WMD than "Clorox Bombs" (even more concentrated that they may have been..but, we don't know) .....so it's still hard to take this report as something to go to MORE WAR FOR....when ASSAD did agree to get rid of his more Lethal Chem Weapons (and USA said he Did) and so it would seem the Rebels/Separatists might be using "Pool Supplies stolen from their Wealthy (Chlorine Bleach stored in some warehouse to service the wealthy) to be used as bombs. How did they get them in the Air to drop....? I don't know...

But....I don't trust this report........to be "TRUTH" given the huge USA DISINFO MACHINE. CHLORINE BLEACH? Give me a Break....

If anyone else has another view about "Use of Chlorine Bleach as WMD in Concentrated form with Massive Deaths" then I'd like to read it...
