Especially because DU ammo was used mostly in Kuwait and along the "highway of death" leading north from Kuwait. And chemicals once released are likely to be dispersed widely, while dust from DU is heavy and settles quickly.

Does anybody know what has happened to Kuwaiti cancer figures since 1991? They would be a good control for DU contamination, without factoring in chemical weapons, bad water, or malnutrition.

Brumar, there are many reports to the effects of depleted Uranium in Iraq. Some of them by ex-members of our cabinet. So, there has to be some truth to it.

As for the chemical weapons, you have a point. However, they were used primarily against Iran. So, border cities would be the most affected and not the whole country... the effects of chemical weapons diminishes as the distance increases from the site where they were used...

amein
