I started a thread about DU about 3 or 4 years ago here and at the time had access to alot of articles that are now somewhere in boxes since the move but...
There was a VA doctor who as I remember was at a VA hospital in Delaware... He was treating a lareg number of Gulf I vets and was eeeing some disturbing paterns of symptoms and was testing for radiation levels that were still in these guys... Now maybe someone will come along the referencve this but after this doctor made it known to the VA that he had suspicsions that DU's were responsible for a number of illnesses, the doctor was told by the VA that the doctor's unit was over staffed and he was laid off...
Well fine and dandy but with a few months the VA hired not one but two additional doctors for thie unit that it had just fired Dr. Snoopy from to replace him...
Yeah, DU's have been used in both Gulf wars and eventually the truth will come out about these weapons...
Yeah, I have heard arguments that say that DU's are perfectlt safe but if they are so safe then why can't ya' by DU's at health food stores???
I mean, let's get real here... They are friggin' nuclear weapons, gol dang it and they are not safe... Not only that but they aren't too smart either because when they come into contact with something they bust apart and send white hot bits of heavy meatls indiscriminently at anything within a very large radius and these super hot bits of metal burn skin and muscle tissue and can kill of hurt the heck outta folks... In an urban war that means lots of collateral damage...
If even the world gets a handle on the US's power play I'm sure that there will be war crime trials for the use of DU's...
Meanwhile, get ready for a major round of bad post-Iraq war stroies and illnesses...
