There may be many reports but if they are like Pilger's article, they are mostly propaganda. What cabinet are you referring to. 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... And whatever effects DU has would also diminish as distance from the place used increases. DU was used mostly against tanks. It's a heavy metal and can cause health problems but shouldn't contaminate an entire country. Here are some links on the issue: fas.org fas.org dtic.mil 12.42.224.153
