Depleted Uranium is WMD
by Leuren Moret

My grandfather, U.S. Army Col. Edwin Joseph McAllister, was born in Battle Creek in 1895. He does not know that his first grandchild is an international expert on depleted uranium. I have worked in two U.S. nuclear weapons laboratories, and in 1991 I became a whistleblower at the Livermore lab. Depleted uranium is very, very, very nasty stuff:

# Depleted uranium (DU) weaponry meets the definition of weapon of mass destruction in two out of three categories under U.S. Federal Code Title 50 Chapter 40 Section 2302.

# DU weaponry violates all international treaties and agreements, Hague and Geneva war conventions, the 1925 Geneva gas protocol, U.S. laws and U.S. military law.

# Since 1991, the U.S. has released the radioactive atomicity equivalent of at least 400,000 Nagasaki bombs into the global atmosphere. That is 10 times the amount released during atmospheric testing which was the equivalent of 40,000 Hiroshima bombs. The U.S. has permanently contaminated the global atmosphere with radioactive pollution having a half-life of 2.5 billion years.

# The U.S. has illegally conducted four nuclear wars in Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and twice in Iraq since 1991, calling DU "conventional" weapons when in fact they are nuclear weapons.

# DU on the battlefield has three effects on living systems: it is a heavy metal "chemical" poison, a "radioactive" poison and has a "particulate" effect due to the very tiny size of the particles that are 0.1 microns and smaller.

# The blueprint for DU weaponry is a 1943 Manhattan Project memo to Gen. L. Groves that recommended development of radioactive materials as poison gas weapons - dirty bombs, dirty missiles and dirty bullets.

# DU weapons are very effective kinetic energy penetrators, but even more effective bioweapons since uranium has a strong chemical affinity for phosphate structures concentrated in DNA.

# DU is the Trojan Horse of nuclear war - it keeps giving and keeps killing. There is no way to clean it up, and no way to turn it off because it continues to decay into other radioactive isotopes in over 20 steps.

# Terry Jemison at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs stated in August 2004 that over 518,000 Gulf-era veterans (14-year period) are now on medical disability, and that 7,039 were wounded on the battlefield in that same period. Over 500,000 U.S. veterans are homeless.

# In some studies of soldiers who had normal babies before the war, 67 percent of the post-war babies are born with severe birth defects - missing brains, eyes, organs, legs and arms, and blood diseases.

# In southern Iraq, scientists are reporting five times higher levels of gamma radiation in the air, which increases the radioactive body burden daily of inhabitants. In fact, Iraq, Yugoslavia and Afghanistan are uninhabitable.

# Cancer starts with one alpha particle under the right conditions. One gram of DU is the size of a period in this sentence and releases 12,000 alpha particles per second.

Before my grandfather died, he told me that his generation had made a mess of this planet. I wonder what he would say to me now I would tell him to see "Beyond Treason" (www.beyondtreason.com), a new documentary about the history of treason by the U.S. government against our own troops: Atomic veterans, MK-Ultra, Agent Orange and DU. After Vietnam, Henry Kissinger said, "Military men are just dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy. . ." (from Chapter 5 in the "Final Days" by Woodward and Bernstein).

Leuren Moret is an international radiation specialist, with a B.S. degree in geology from University of California at Davis, a M.A. degree in Near Eastern studies from University of California at Berkeley and has done post-graduate work in the geosciences at UC-Davis. She is environmental commissioner for the City of Berkeley, Calif.

NO!

Supporting our troops means the following:

Let them do their jobs with 100% support. After they are done KICKING ASS with HONOR, bring them home alive.

Continue to give them the best equipment on the planet (bar none!) so that they have the best chance of whacking the bad guys and coming home to their loved ones.

Get it straight. They are volunteers. They are professionals. After they do their jobs, they will come home as heros.

Fucking liberal whiners...

FUCK THE TROOPS..PRAISE THE FREEDOM FIGHTERS
SPIT ON EM WHEN U SEE EM IN THE STREETS

4747

This is America and you can say that.

However, I would be really careful actually DOING that. You probably cannot shoot, fight, or generally kick ass like our Kick Ass American Soldiers can.

This means that you will end up getting ground to dust.

Good luck with that, fucktard.

FUCK OFF ..IM A FORMER US MARINE.. I CAN KICK YOUR ASS.. PRAISE THE ONE WHOM DEFEND THIER COUNTRY FROM THE INVADORS AND TRUE EVIL ON THIS PLANET.. FUCK THE NAZI TROOPS..PIT ON THEM WHEN U SEE EM

:dubya:

<<>
Yeah right!!!!!!!
Your some punk kid that has the makings for Democrat!

535 go to Iraq and do your due sworn duty...


When your bloodied corpse is bagged and taken home dont think Bush will give a fuck about it


You would just be another number

i am a decorated us marine

"After Vietnam, Henry Kissinger said, "Military men are just dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy. . ." (from Chapter 5 in the "Final Days" by Woodward and Bernstein)."

"Hear the testimony of experts and of United States military veterans who demand answers to questions that the Department of Defense will not address."

What causes Gulf War Illness?

ok, so you bring them all back home - and then what?

Put them on the Mexican border, or let them go back to their jobs. We don´t need that many troops.

bring them home alive AND mentaly stable

I hate to point it out, but any troops in Iraq are already screwed. Bringing them home would be the kindest thing for all concerned.

Bring our troops home, terrorists from the Middle East WILL follow them for vengeance.

You wanted that, do you?

One thing that i have got to say that i have not heard say from the left or the right is this ....THIS IS A VERY BAD TIME TO FIGHT. The world is in a very volatile state right now ...both with human beings in other countries and with our planet the Earth. The longer the bloodshed keeps going on in both Iraq and around the world the closer the human race comes to total catastrophe and maybe total extinction. These are VERY bad times to fight. Not all times in human history are the same ...some are more volatile than other times. These are the most volatile times in human history bar none. And guess what ....all that bloodshed in the past is what made these times so volatile ...we didnt learn then the stupidity of war and it brought us to these times. All we can do now is make nice. Be gentle and try other ways ....there is no choice what so ever.
