So Napalm or variation of Napalm 77 is not a chemical? What long term consequences come from dropping this sort of mostly banned petroleum-based "chemical weapon"?

There probably are no long term efect from napalm , aside from the wounds it causes. Napalm is just a gelled gasoline. You can make it at home by mixing gasoline or kerosine with laundry detergent or egg whites. You can also whip up a batch by disolving styrofoam into the gasoline.

What about cluster bombs? We used these mostly banned wmd's in Iraq as well.

Cluster bombs are a horse of a diffrent color. a 500lb. cluster bomb will pop open and deploy a batch of small grenades over a given blast area. They are the perfect tool for getting rid of large groups of men and mateial. The downside is that any of the grenades that dont go off in the imedeate drop are potential land mines that can kill and maim civilians going through the area.
