Iraqi child cancer 'linked to US weapons'

Senior Scientist, PSR

DU munitions were first used the 1991 Gulf War. US military forces suffered less than 1,000 total casualties in the war; yet 250,000 of the 540,000 troops that fought in the war are now sick and on disability. These are not old men, their average age is in the 30s. Why have 40% of these vets become seriously ill? Surely a large percentage of them are sick from their exposure to DU. This story is not reported in the media; it would hurt recruitment. DU munitions remain in full production.

The journalist who claims US military pressure on the Ministry of Health prevents doctors from discussing the incidence of birth abnormalities is on to something. Can this be documented?

well

the US government has been found guilty in the past of releasing toxins on their own citizens and then studying the effects imagine what they are willing to unleash on a foreign population

Depleted Uranium - a weapon of Mass Destruction

Shame on America, England, and Israel for using these weapons on civilians. Every American needs to see this report as this it would not be shown on our propaganda television stations. Look for these types of deformities to show up in the children of the Marines who were in Fallujah. Not only was depleted uranium used quite liberally so was White Phosporus. Americans must remove their blindfolds and take responsibility for these war crimes. There is not excuse for these crimes against humanity!

Media Black Out

Of course this is not mentioned in the American News. A total black out. The most that is heard here is how our poor soldiers have Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Nothing, not one word about the disaster we created over there.

if only these people could be voted out of office

It's staggering that a human being, knowing what they must know about how much they need love and family in their own lives, can make such a devastating choice, to allow such things to be done to another country. How can the average person understand this type of thinking, so we can counteract it? I saw this on Dateline, and it was just frightening to see the parent's faces. They were beyond anger, just in despair. We have to think of ways to get our planet back, and act on them.

Depleted Uranium for Depleted Humanity

I strongly oppose all nuclear weapons. My father died at 57 years in 1968. He looked 80. He had a severe overdose of radioactivity when his radioactive paint mixing operation seems to have struck a problem. His special badge showed it after being processed for the week. Without gieger counters, he supervised women who painted early 1940's aircraft dials that glowed radioactively for undetected night flights. He diced with death. The deformed babies are no surprise.

for more on DU, see interview with Major Doug Rokke at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-VkpR-wka8 Major Rokke was the U.S. Army's Depleted Uranium Project director from 1994 - 1995. He developed the congressionally mandated education and training materials for DU incidents.

The people responsible are war criminals and they need to pay for their crimes. We have laws against war crimes. I thought that we went to Iraq because they had weapons of mass destruction. Why did we use WMD against these innocents? Why aren't these issues addressed, swiftly? Has the whole world gone mad??

to hell with the USA

morally indefensible,just like agent orange.this is no accident.
