****The whole diabolical business began when daddy Bush dropped 1000 metric tons of Depleted Uranium on Iraq in 1991 contaminating the country with the deadly toxic U238-isotope. This monstrous act has doomed the Iraq people to endless suffering and premature death. Childhood leukemia and spontaneous abortions have become commonplace. According to a UN Sub Commission report, cancer in Iraq since the first Bush gulf war has increased 1000%, and deformities 600%.'

Nothing that Hitler or Stalin did can truly be compared with the endless suffering caused by DU weapons. Not only are Americans participating in the wanton extermination of life, but they are destroying the planet, rendering certain regions of the earth uninhabitable. Professor Doug Rokke, ex-director of the Pentagon's Depleted Uranium project and former professor of environmental science at Jacksonville University said, 'We can't just use munitions which leave a toxic wasteland behind ****
