This stuff is worse than an atomic bomb, because it kills slowly. Myself I think the entire region of Iraq should be quarantined, and troops left there to never come back.
If they come back we are in for the same bad affects. I am sorry to be the messenger of this news to everyone...but this is all for US a real serious issue. Perhaps this is why Bush has been toeing the line to keep troops in Iraq; buying time to see what they can do.
This is entirely different than the Atomic Bomb hitting Japan. In fact it is quite worse. We didn’t have soldiers in Japan when that went off, to become carriers of DU poisoning.
{Don't think that this depleted uranium won't affect us here in the United States. 30,000 returning soldiers have depleted uranium in their urine. This means that many of them will have it in their semen and genetic damage and birth defects will start to skyrocket here at home. This is a Pandora's Box that is still open. Do you have the personal integrity and humanity to shut it?} (Victor Connor)
