Bush Waging Nuclear War in Iraq
Bush-Cheney have used tons of depleted uranium (DU) weapons in the Iraq war. Depleted uranium is a component of toxic nuclear waste, usually stored at secure sites. Handlers need radiation protection gear.
DU munitions are classified by a United Nations resolution as illegal weapons of mass destruction. Their use breaches all international laws, treaties and conventions forbidding poisoned weapons calculated to cause unnecessary suffering.
Any soldier now in Iraq who has not inhaled lethal radioactive dust is not breathing. Once inhaled, uranium oxides lodge in the body and emit radiation indefinitely. A single particle of DU lodged in a lymph node can devastate the entire immune system according to British radiation expert Roger Coghill.
Americans will be supporting Gulf War II veterans for years as they slowly and painfully succumb to radiation poisoning. U.S. and British troops deployed to the area are the walking dead. They are destined to a long downhill spiral of chronic illness and disability. Kidney dysfunction, lung damage, bloody stools, extreme fatigue, joint pain, unsteady gait, memory loss and rashes and,ultimately, cancer and premature death await those exposed to DU. Furthermore, many babies born to troops now in Iraq will also be afflicted with hideous deformities, neurological damage and/or blood and respiratory disorders.
Dr. Doug Rokke, Army health physicist, and his clean-up team were issued only flimsy dust masks for their dangerous work. Of the 100 people on Rokke's decontamination team, 30 have already "dropped dead. Rokke himself is ill with radiation damage to lungs and kidneys. He has brain lesions, skin pustules, chronic fatigue, continual wheezing and painful fibromyalgia.
DU remains "hot" for 4.5 billion years. Radiation expert Dr. Helen Caldicott confirms that the dust-laden winds of DU-contaminated war zones will remain effectively radioactive for the rest of time. The dust storms which ensnared coalition troops during the first few days of the war are sure to suffer significant health consequences.
George Bush's ongoing war in Afghanistan is also a nuclear war. The underground water supply is now contaminated in drought-stricken Afghanistan by DU. The Uranium Medical Research Center report that urine samples of Afghanis show the highest level of uranium ever recorded in a civilian population.
Dr. Rokke confirms that the Pentagon lies about DU dangers and is criminally negligent for neglecting medical attention needed by DU-contaminated vets. He predicts that the numbers of American troops to be sickened by DU from Gulf War II will be staggering.
