U. S. Using Depleted uranium, Despite Birth Defects, Childhood Cancer (by BigBadJohnny)

I just became aware we are using depleted uranium in the war with Iraq.

If there is any interest, I will continue my research.

Interested parties might consider E-mailing their representitives in Congress.

"Uranium weapons are criminal violations of international and U.S. federal law in at least four ways. That is exactly what the U.S. military and politicians demanded be used in Iraq and Central Asia. Noted humanitarian and war crimes lawyer Karen Parker gives a simple four point test to determine that DU is illegal and a war crime and a crime against humanity. However, using the four point test as a weapons spec gives the Pentagon the super weapon they wanted. War crimes lawyers, in many ways, wrote the spec for Washington’s latest genocidal wonder weapon.
A weapon that:
* strays off the field of battle.
* lasts after the battle is over.
* causes cancer and other major devastating diseases.
* causes lethal harm to people and the environment, is an illegal weapon as determined by a U.N. body. In short, its use is a war crime

DU, or so-called depleted uranium, fits the profile perfectly. The senior American military and political leadership had their super weapon. They then determined that the Iraqi people and others in Central Asia’s resource rich lands were in the way, had no right to live and had to go. They would be nuked by uranium munitions.
The American war planners knew and assumed that the U.S. soldiers were expendable commodities, like bullets. They would be nuked, too. As the famous American secretary of state, His Excellency Henry Kissinger, said, “Military men are just dumb stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy.
