The U.S. radiates civilians with depleted uranium


Last week, the U.S. military placed an order for $38 million in depleted uranium rounds, bringing the total amount of the order from a West-Virginia Based company to $77 million for fiscal year 2006.

The new order was placed with Alliant Techsystems for 120-mm ammunition. Once the new deal is completed, the company will have produced 35,000 rounds for the U.S. army. In a statement, the company making the deadly weapon said: "Its state-of-the-art composite sabot, propellant, and penetrator technologies give it outstanding accuracy and lethality."

how much of that "lethality" stays in W.Va.?

how much of that "lethality" comes home with the troops?

we know how much "lethality" stays in Iraq. a lethal amount.

Alliant Techsystems is a war crime/crime against humanity corporation

W. Va. the state that ignores mine safety and produces lethal war shit. knocks down and kills it's mountains

5. But only because terrorists drive up armored hummers, have
A1M1 Abrams tanks, have armored pillboxes on every street corner, and don't die when you shoot the crap out of them with "regular bullets and MISSILES". Dumbf*cks all, all of these b*stards who order and approve of this stuff are nothing more than dumbf*cks who are stuck on stupid. Malignant dumb is their rule of thumb.
