What is DU?
What is DU?
By this time you have likely heard of the atrocity that recently took place in which over 1,000 Syrian civilians reportedly died at the hands of a chemical weapon attack. Seeing the video and images of dead or helpless Syrian civilians struggling for life reminds me of another terrible weapon of war -- depleted uranium.
It is no secret that the U.S., with the assistance of other governments, used depleted uranium in the Gulf and Iraq War. A simple Google search of this topic can produce dozens and dozens of credible reports or stories to confirm these war crimes. For example, an important report on Harvard University's website discusses the fallout of depleted uranium contamination in Iraq. Dr. Souad N. Al-Azzawi, who authored the report after the Gulf War, wrote that:
"Depleted Uranium (DU) weaponry has been used against Iraq for the first time in the history of recent wars. The magnitude of the complications and damage related to the use of such radioactive and toxic weapons on the environment and the human population mostly results from the intended concealment, denial and misleading information released by the Pentagon about the quantities, characteristics and the area's in Iraq, in which these weapons have been used."
Populations caught in war-zones or forced to live with severe nutritional restrictions (such as those imposed on the Iraqi population by U.N. sanctions from 1991 to 2003) suffer immediate and chronic stress that leads to long-lasting physical and mental damage. In addition to the harsh effects of sanctions, many Iraqi cities have experienced large-scale bombardment. An accurate tally of the types and volume of ammunition dropped on the Iraqi population is not available. However, reports have indicated that large numbers of bullets have been expended into the Iraqi environment (Buncombe 2011). Thus the environmental contamination of Iraqi cities with materials contained in bullets and bombs may be expected. Toxic metals such as mercury (Hg) and Pb are an integral part of war ammunition and are extensively used in the making of bullets and bomb
Lead is what Uranium decays to over 4.something billion years.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3464374/
What about this article saying that it was lead poisoning?
I was just thinking, one of the best ways to mess with Sunni Jihad is to continue spray DU on their lands. Yes?
The gift that keeps on giving? Why say a War Cult like the USA contains one bit of heart, much less a single smidgen of soul?
Are you a sociopath?
Iraq got a decent hit of DU, employed as a area denial weapon, but that is now a Shia republic... like WTF?
Radiation is not dangerous if it is dispersed. I wouldnt want to be next to the leaking tanks but people 100 miles away are not going to see any effects.

acceptable losses.Yes, and the coagulate it. And the top of the food chain is already beginning to show it.
And hey, just one particle of Cesium, in this atomic configuration can kill. It is an Alpha emitter if I'm not mistaken. Cannot be inside the human body.
If you go to her channel she even has a link to one of her lectures.Damn... Living on the beach is like recieving 4x the max amount a nuclear power plant worker is allowed to recieve in a year. That is fricking crazy.

That is so weird, naturally radioactive beach?
