Earlier on in the thread MGOH posted a link relating to the four-fold increase in the incidence of cancer in Iraq.

Bobert, Don, Carol and others attribute this to the use during the Gulf War of DU munitions.

For that to be true - whatever radiation and heavy metal particles result from the such ammunition must be the only carcinogens in the whole of Iraq. Now that is pattently absurd, as there are others.

One possible source could be from the deliberate poisoning of the waters in the South of Iraq, carried out by Saddam Hussein as part of his campaign of genocide against the Ma'dan (Marsh Arabs). No, of course not Saddam wouldn't do that - would he??
