The Iraqi's are ****ed off over DU? At who?


No, Lil' Greggie is.

Neat facts. None of which even have any test results to prove them except
Google.

405 tons....You cite several countries and conflicts, mostly of the Clinton
era. 395 tons in Iraq...When? Before or after 1993? Or is this just another
Google disinformation instance. Cite your sources and then folks can judge
the validity of the research.

Why didn't we see an increase in those health effects in those other
countries that you stated?

Exactly what was stated as fact that you responded to. Rokke? Has anyone
looked into his agenda? How long has DU actually been deployed and by whom?

Some of you little happy hearts are going to be sadly disappointed in the
near future of this country. The fact that many are getting sick of hearing
about your media mixing the truth all the time. All your hand wringing is
coming back to haunt you. Your statements are in writing.

For someone like you to extole the bravery and determination of those that
do the job is laughable. You put conditions of allowed and equipped. You, I
hope are referring to previous administrations that removed their ability to
do so.

No, you are not.

You are just another little pussy that can't handle the fact that again , we
as the United States of America, need to sacrifice American lives to protect
the future of the world for those that seek freedom.

**** on you!

Uh... Tree Huggers? No to be difficult Leon, but what on earth do
environmentalists have to do with war?! g

Stealth OT

If anything, the "Tree Huggers" have been amazingly quiet about the
405 tons of depleted uranium projectiles we have sprayed on Iraq and
Serbia/Kosovo/ Yugoslavia over the past 15 years. Having a half-life
of about 4.5 million years, the use of DU rounds has resulted in a
minimum 400% increase in bizarre birth defects in Iraqi civilians, and
an estimated 65% rate of birth defects among exposed Gulf War
Veterans. Even the Pentagon's director of the DU project, Doug Rokke,
resigned over the use of DU as a military weapon, stating that its use
was a crime against humanity. This is one reason some Iraqis are so
****ed off, the other being that many are fanatical lunatics - Gee, I
wonder why? We've dumped about 395 tons of this stuff on Iraq alone.

This doesn't, however, detract from the bravery and determination of
those who do the job they are ordered to perform - when they are
allowed, and equipped, to do it. The Bureaucracy remains the problem.

-------------
Depleted uranium (DU) or uranium-238 is made from uranium hexaflouride
which is the non-fissionable by-product of the uranium enrichment
process used to obtain uranium-235 for reactor fuel and nuclear bombs.

Depleted Uranium projectiles are used as tank and bunker piercing
rounds due to their super-high density and ability to cut through
armoured objects like warmed butter..

So, shoot the messenger...

FWIW,
