Eye witness account of Fallujah and US sending hellfire missiles.

"The violence began when the Iraqi Prime Minister, Nouri al Maliki, forced a year-old, nonviolent protest camp in Fallujah to disperse. The Iraqi government has since bombed Fallujah with American-bought Hellfire Missiles, a weapon system that is believed to contain uranium and could cause indiscriminate public health effects."

there is an incredible amount of horrific birth defects in Fallujah and surround areas already from Depleted Uranium from US missiles.
women pray they aren't pregnant because of the birth defects.

“The Iraqi government has been bombing Fallujah with weapons sold to them by the US government. Already over 100 civilians have been killed. Furthermore, one of the weapon systems that the Iraqi government is reported to be using is the Hellfire missile. This is one of the weapons that is believed to have contributed to the health crisis in Fallujah back in 2004.”

Sami Rasouli always said “the Americans should leave Iraq and they should take their weapons with them.” It was very clear to him that more weapons in Iraq would only increase the violence.

While the government attacks may have abated somewhat, it appears that the U.S. weapons sales will go forward. Thus, in addition to signing the petition, I am encouraging you to call and/or write your elected representatives and tell them to do whatever they can to stop more U.S. weapons from going into Iraq.
