1. On who?

[jberryhill]

3. On Britain. With Commander Cuckoo in charge, it's anybody's guess

[PuffedMica]

2. When did we ever stop using cluster bombs?

[left-of-center2012]

8. We haven't

"... a previous plan that mandated the military ditch older versions of the controversial weapons by 2019"

[DetroitLegalBeagle]

4. No surprise

We still refuse to sign the landmine treaty, why would we quit with cluster munitions?

[Irish_Dem]

5. What about depleted uranium bombs? We still using them? Shameful.

6. I think that's a slur against third world countries

"China, Israel, Iran, North Korea, Russia and Saudi Arabia"

Not so much third world, more "military or dictator-led". The other democracy is Israel, and that's occupying foreign territory and illegally annexing it through settlement building.

[malaise]

7. No No No

We developing countries don't have cluster bombs
