>>>During the 1st Gulf War, there were a dozen or so Chinese who withdrew very late from Kuwuit, and all of them now got severe depleted-uranium-symptom, and a couple of them already dead. <<< Interesting. Could you provide a link to source or sources that prove this? >>I have read that 40 percent of the Iraqi population will succumb to cancer because of this practice of bombing them with depleted uranium<<< Same to author of this--source. Would the US soldiers who handle this munition also develop this cancer? Has the VA reported this?

all of them now got severe depleted-uranium-symptom, and a couple of them already dead....40 percent of the Iraqi population will succumb to cancer because of this practice of bombing them with depleted uranium I just posted an article that reviewed the Science on this nonsense, but it won't go away, will it? "Nuclear Genocide? Piercing through the depleted uranium myths" reason.com BTW, Yiwu, did you see this article?

Interesting articles, thanks for posting them. Flip side to every coin; NPR ( the mothership of liberalism ) reported this morning that the reason Iraqis are "returning" to Iraq is they are being denied entry to Jordan, Syria, Turkey and other surrounding states. They are being stopped, turned around and told to go back to Baghdad. They also reported that citizens in Baghdad are no longer permitted to leave the city ... if they all left, there would be no innocents to hide behind. JB

The caption under a picture of a bombed out, ruined home reads: Any chance that tribespeople in this rural area south of Baghdad would look kindly on the impending arrival of American troops may have vanished in a cloud of collapsing rubble and twisted steel. They are not happy with us...many pointed out this would be the case.
