Now the President is there, breathing in the contamination. I’m sure he’ll have access to specialists which the ordinary GI could not expect. Their DU poisoning is called “Gulf War Syndrome” and given short shrift. For years the U.S. and Britain said that DU posed no health hazard for combatant or civilian, even though the United States has known otherwise since 1943. (16)
The Bush administration fought three wars to control mideast oil. But, given the contamination of the area, anyone who went there to work the oil fields would be signing a death sentence.
If the President goes to war with Iran, he may be signing a death sentence for the planet.

(14) Dr. Moret asserts that the Middle East, Central Asia, and Yugoslavia “are contaminated forever.” (In Beyond Treason, ibid.) British radiation researcher Dai Williams agrees: “Several areas of Iraq are now permanently contaminated.” (Hazards of Uranium Weapons in the Proposed War on Iraq, 22 Sept. 2002.) Dr. Craig Etcheson advises us that “we must … consider the real possibility of Iraq as an uninhabitable wasteland, with the residue of the DU aerosol blowing in the wind and flowing in the waters to adjacent lands, a residue with a half-life of 4.5 billion years.” He asks: “Is this outlook too bleak?” (“Depleted Uranium: Pernicious Killer Keeps on Killing,” t r u t h o u t, 19 February 2007, downloaded from http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/021907G.shtml, 31 Aug. 2007.)(15) Dr. Moret, “Depleted Uranium: The Trojan Horse,” ibid.(16) “As a gas warfare instrument the material would be ground into particles of microscopic size to form dust and smoke and distributed by a ground-fired projectile, land vehicles, or aerial bombs. In this form it would be inhaled by personnel. The amount necessary to cause death to a person inhaling the material is extremely small. It has been estimated that one millionth of a gram accumulating in a person's body would be fatal.” (“Memorandum to: Brigadier General L. R. Groves From: Drs.
