Yeah but Blanco, if we want to play straight, we have to put our hands down on the table too. We found out twenty years after Vietnam that Agent Orange led to developemental Luekemia. While it is yet unfounded, it is not unreasonable to expect that DU is potentially cancerous. One kilogram of ‘natural uranium’ is obtained from 1000 kg of uranium ore. Only half of this one kilogram is actually released for use in DU munitions. The remaining 999.5 kg is considered as radioactive waste.
We all know how healthy radioative waste is, and even though DU is self incineratory, there is a chance that it is everybit as caustic as the circumstantial evidence posits.
But I supposed that despite the fact Sadaam is responsible for gassing entire towns of Kurds in his biological weapon research program, the US is the bad guy for lightly using a possibly cancerous weapon in order to remove him from power. Talk about moral relativism. . .
