Ray > I'm surprised you'd cite such a source

It seems you did you not read my concluding remarks?

>>Seems like these are the same guys who "identified the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, especially nuclear weapons" in Iraq. And what is even more amazing is there are actually many people in the US who believe this crap.<<

Of course, I know this is government-inspired propaganda. I posted the extract purposely to show what the US government wanted people to know.

Ray, depleted uranium rears its ugly head again.

>>Bernklau continued, “This malady (from uranium munitions), that thousands of our military have suffered and died from, has finally been identified as the cause of this sickness, eliminating the guessing. The terrible truth is now being revealed.”

He added, “Out of the 580,400 soldiers who served in GW1 (the first Gulf War), of them, 11,000 are now dead! By the year 2000, there were 325,000 on Permanent Medical Disability. This astounding number of ‘Disabled Vets’ means that a decade later, 56% of those soldiers who served have some form of permanent medical problems!” The disability rate for the wars of the last century was 5 percent; it was higher, 10 percent, in Viet Nam.<<
