The important thing isn't whether the reason deleted uranium causes such horrible things to happen, most especially to unborn children, is radiactivity or just general toxicity. What matters is that the use of it in the last Gulf War is still is still causing terrible things to happen. It's a weapon of mass destruction:

"Hospital statistics indicated that the number of Iraqi children with cancer rose by a factor of 4ยด, from 32,000 in 1990 to 130,000 in 1997."

That is from a detailed report produced in 1999 by Vladimir S. Zajic which goes into all this pretty seriously.
