Excerpt: ” Britain and America not only used DU in this year’s Iraq war, they dramatically increased its use-from a minimum of 320 tons in the previous war to at minimum of 1500 tons in this one. And this time the use of DU wasn’t limited to anti-tank weapons-as it had largely been in the previous Gulf war-but was extended to the guided missiles, large bunker busters and big 2000-pound bombs used in Iraq’s cities …. In 1997, while citing experiments, by others, in which 84 percent of dogs exposed to inhaled uranium died of cancer of the lungs, Dr. Asaf Durakovic, then Professor of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine at Georgetown University in Washington was quoted as saying, ‘The [US government's] Veterans Administration asked me to lie about the risks of incorporating depleted uranium in the human body.’ He concluded, ‘uranium does cause cancer, uranium does cause mutation, and uranium does kill. If we continue with the irresponsible contamination of the biosphere, and denial of the fact that human life is endangered by the deadly isotope uranium, then we are doing disservice to ourselves, disservice to the truth, disservice to God and to all generations who follow.’ “

False Allegations Regarding Depleted Uranium

Rumors of adverse health effects proved inaccurate

There is a great deal of misinformation and unwarranted fears about depleted uranium (DU), which U.S. armed forces use in several types of ammunition to take advantage of its unsurpassed ability to penetrate armored vehicles.
Depleted uranium is a derivative of natural uranium, a very common element in our environment. Many people don’t realize that our environment contains small amounts of natural uranium, which we breathe, eat, and drink every day.
U-235 and U-234 are the highly radioactive isotopes in natural uranium, extracted to make nuclear fuel or enriched weapons-grade uranium. Depleted uranium is what is left over after much of these highly radioactive isotopes have been removed. Depleted uranium is actually 40% less radioactive than the natural uranium in the environment around us, and much less radioactive than fuel-grade or weapons-grade uranium. Unfortunately, most people confuse depleted uranium with these dangerous substances.

Campaign Against Depleted Uranium – Welcome

Welcome to CADUThe Campaign Against Depleted Uranium (CADU) was launched in 1999 to focus specifically on trying to achieve a global ban on the manufacture, testing, and use of depleted uranium weapons.

We also have a strong interest in identifying the extent of its civilian use and achieving as much limitation of this as possible.
Please take a moment to sign the International Coalition to Ban Uranium Weapon’s online petition by clicking on the image below, we currently have in excess of 190,000 signatures worldwide – make your’s count too.

Depleted Uranium – Far Worse Than 9/11

Depleted Uranium – Far Worse Than 9/11

This is a deeply disturbing article about the atrocious consequences of the use of Depleted Uranium by the US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.

It is long but well worth the read.

In the article the link to pictures of birth defects is itself defect. Here is the right link:

GULF WAR SYNDROME BIRTH DEFECTS IN IRAQ CHILDREN BABIES EXTREME BIRTH DEFORMITIES DEPLETED URANIUM AMMUNITION

Warning: These are seriously ugly pictures.

CONCLUSIONS:

If terrorists succeeded in spreading something throughout the U.S. that ended up causing hundreds of thousands of cancer cases and birth defects over a period of many years, they would be guilty of a crime against humanity that far surpasses the Sept. 11th attacks in scope and severity. Although not deliberate, with our military campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan, we have done just that. If the physical environment is so unsafe and unhealthy that one cannot safely breath, then the outer trappings of democracy have little meaning. At least under Saddam, the Iraqi people could stay healthy and conceive normal children. Few Americans are aware that in getting rid of Saddam, we left something much worse in his place.

Robert Bowman is a veteran that is angry at Bush, and he says so in some speeches.

Former Head Of Star Wars Program Says Cheney Main 9/11 Suspect

Here are two pages with audio / video of Bowman speaking. The videos are fine, but unfortunately the audios are trashed with a mind-numbning music-track, as if he is trying to scream to you across the dance-floor of a techno-rave!… bizarre.
1) Air Force Col: Bush, Cheney, NeoCONs TREASONous

2) Retired Air Force Col: They lied to us about the war and about 9/11 itself
