Iraq War Crimes- Depleted Uranium 1 of 4

[malkaraatgw1]

makes good sabot rounds

[procommenter]

INTERNATIONAL PHYSICIANS FOR THE PREVENTION OF NUCLEAR WAR : NEW DELHI, INDIA, FEB. 29, MAR. 1-2, 2004 : 500 tons of D.U. munitions have been dispensed in Afghanistan. Prof. Yagasaki calculated that 800 tons is the atomicity equivalent to 83,000 Nagasaki bombs. The amount of D.U. used in Iraq in 2003 is equivalent to 250,000 Nagasaki bombs.

[DemonDik]

Just think about all the military "surplus" that is going to flood the market and probably already has! It is all CONTAMINATED! Steer clear of it.

[denbots87]

"Military men are dumb stupid animals who are to be used as pawns of foreign policy" - Henry Kissinger.

Military men, the "dumb stupid animals", if you don't know who Henry Kissinger is, you had better begin your research. The men who sell your soul in the hellhole deserts of the middle-east see you as less than an animal, they see you as stupid animals. You are cannon fodder. Your not fighting for any noble cause. Go find out why 1 in 4 homeless men are veterans.

[oldman66able]

I think every American who supported the Iraqi War shoud be forced to see pictures of the 500,000 deformed children born since the start of the first war. !.5 million civilians woundn't be dead without your help. The US has been using depleated uranium since Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It has been proven it has been used in Libyaand still being used. This is genocide.

[SoloWing808]

I can't believe there are actually "people" trying to deny or defend the horrors created by the the US government/military. The dropping of atomic bombs on civilians, the use of Agent Orange in Vietnam, and now this. Millions killed or affected including countless babies. Not even pictures of the deformed children can shake you. Do you even have souls? I doubt it.

[smallville0forever]

they have entered iraq with the WMS lie but the truth they entered there to use and test thier own WMS

[nicenonya3]

TODAY, THE USA IS HONORING THE WAR MONGER GHW BUSH,THE SAME GUY WHO PLANNED JFK'S ASSASSINATI0N

[Invesigator]

It's funny how all this weaponry are used against countries that are populated by non-white people.

During the 1980's europeans used to protest against the placement of American nuclear weapons against Russia. The convential wisdom was the "War was bad". What they really meant was that "War against white Europeans was bad".

[oysterjoe]

@Invesigator Crap----what about those well known "war against non-whites" like WW II and WW I.

Greedy scum kills----they need to be guillotined. 1789 must return before they kill us all.

[badattitude77769]

@Invesigator Heck they use weapons against us white people too, mercury in our vaccines, chemtrails, aspertame, etc. etc.

[CreateF8]

Ancient Sumer is located in modern day Iraq. The archeological artifacts of humanities earliest advanced civilization are now at a loss from depleted uranium soil contamination. Due to the military's impudence we may never have that part of humanities origin. Way to go Aristocrats. They are the ones funding both sides of war. Prescott bush was one of those culprits in the world wars. Look it up. The same is prevalent in society today. These crimes against our fellow man are intolerable.

[ChewySatisfaction]

Gulf war syndrome, right there folks.

[badattitude77769]

@ChewySatisfaction I read an article that stated that the aspartame that is in soda pop when in the heat, such as in Iraq, is a very toxic poison.

[badattitude77769]

@ChewySatisfaction I read an article that stated that the aspartame that is in soda pop when in the heat, such as in Iraq, is a very toxic poison. It would cost too much to dispose of depeleted uranium properly so it is sold to munitions makers. Floride is a rat poison so they put in our water and toothpaste.

[badattitude77769]

@ChewySatisfaction I read an article that stated that the aspartame that is in soda pop when in the heat, such as in Iraq, is a very toxic poison. It would cost too much to dispose of depleted uranium properly so it is sold to munitions makers even to other countries! Fluoride is a rat poison so they put in our water and toothpaste. It is said that Hitler used fluoride to dumb down the masses.

[Berzerkerevl]

yeah all that death just so we could get fat and rich. Our foreign policy is insane.

[Jtomo1987]

@Berzerkerevl Insane? to get rich?, where's your head at?

[redword2007]

@Jtomo1987

Two million Iraqis have died as a result of war and sanctions. The principal driver of this agression was control of Iraqi oil and gas reserves.

It's debatable of it's insane, but it's certainly obscene.

[sammmy1900]

annfidela, who cares, what has this to do with depleted uranium!!!lol

[mischiefofgod]

The very biggest terrorist who scares whole world is the United States.

[Hadesofthe07]

@mischiefofgod i agree with you, its because of the rockefeller family that control the world and like playing god.

[arvydas0069]

@mischiefofgod Muslims are ruining the world

[skorkusuz]

@MrSpeedfightRichy "...stupid religious fanatics...stupid Terroists (by the way it's terrorists not Terroists) " sounds like you are talking about the Bush family.

[ZaoHuZhua]

US government doesn't care if you know they never hid the fact they use DU in their weapons. Troops who pose around a wreckage usually end up going home disabled or dead. The DU causes birth defects for Iraqi children but DU in a sabot round or Abrams armor is not toxic and only slightly radioactive until fired or penetrated.

[arvydas0069]

@ZaoHuZhua hahahahaha disabled or dead? I've been here in Iraq 4 years now. Most of my mates been here over 6....been working in Fallujah, anywhere...we roam freely across the country...been in all sorts of hellholes where there were rounds fired. This DU shit is wank and unfounded

[YouTabacco]

lol and lol again, humans are nuts...

[manxdude1]

they are the biggest terroist org in the world!

[purchaser47]

The only metal that exists in nature is gold. All other metals are manufactured. Depleted uranium is not an artificial metal. It is naturally occuring U-238 that has been separated from naturally occuring U-235. This video is full of misleading and false information. It starts out that way and it continues on all through the video.

[fredflint75]

@purchaser47

A. DU or U-238 is not naturally occurring it is 1 of 3 main uranium isotopes that is by product of uranium enrichment. As Uranium enrichment is not a natural but man made process U-238 is technically a man made metal!

B. " only metal that exists in nature is gold" Have you ever seen the periodic table or maybe ever been to a aluminium, copper, silver, zinc etc, etc mine?

C. U-235 and U-238 or DU is also used in both fission and and hydrogen bombs!

[purchaser47]

This opens with a nuclear bomb explosion. That has nothing to do with DU. It shows images from the Gulf War that have nothing to do with DU and it lies about depleted uranium. Rokke was not responsible for doing anything for FIVE YEARS - Rokke was an Army Reservist who served in Saudi Arabia from December 1990 to June 1991. None of the members of Rokke's team have died. Who made this piece of crap video?

[wilsonpwt]

Everyone knows that the United States has used depleted uranium during the occupation of Iraq, and this has contaminated the Iraqi soil, which arrives in Iran and pollutes Iranian soil.

The results of this polluted soil will be seen in the agricultural products in the coming years, it endangers people's health, and its harmful impact will be transferred to the next generation.

[definemaybe]

don't follow leaDERs

[DEATHOFTHENWO]

The silent killer ! Generations of families effected in Iraq, Afhganistan, Kosovo and both the UK & the U.S. more and more children are being born with birth defects all over the world, cancer rates have gone sky high and other horrible diseases are being caused by this shit.

[SpywareHater]

and those 2 atom bombs which were actually something that did cause radiation not a warcrime. what a propaganda video trying to stop a weapon they are scared of. pitiful. the M829 DU round series are still in use.

[annfidela]

google the video (The Doctor, the depleted uranium and the dying children) In US Dr. Durakovic was fired from VA hospital because of his research on Depleted Uranium. In Iraq those doctors doing research are imprisoned falsely or killed. Google: 2000 Iraqi doctors have been killed since 2003. Google: Depleted Uranium Radioactive Contamination in Iraq by Prof Souad N. Al-Azzawi. Google: Uranium babies. Join the fight against the war crime of using DU.

[annfidela]

The General Assembly committed a genocide on August 6th 1990 in Iraq. Oddly enough they R located in Manhattan & placed sanctions on Iraq on the anniversary of the Manhattan Project for weapons of mass destruction. No wmd were ever found but 1.5 million Iraqis died as a result. It killed more people than the two atomic bombs. DU was fired on their land. It is nuclear waste & is radioactive.

More than 2200 doctors and nurses have been killed since 2003. They

R killing those fighting DU.

[annfidela]

From the Desert Storm war to the Operation Iraqi Freedom there's been LIES.

Lies about Iraqi killing 312 babies from stealing incubators. Nayirah lied to the Senate she was daughter of Saud al Sabah an ambassador of Kuwait to the US.

Lies about Iraqi troop movements. The Pentagon lied and said Saddam troops were at the border of Saudi Arabia ready to invade Saudi. Russian satellite taken during that time has photos w/ no troops present at all near their border.

[annfidela]

Lies about Du. & the poisoning of the atmosphere. Medical Records disappearing. Soldiers complaining about Gulf Syndrome had medical records disappear. Berg decapitation was fake & filmed in Abu Graib. Jessica Lynch rescue was fake as well. Saddam never had a nuclear program. Lies- It was proven after Iraqi invasion but 1.5 million Iraqis died from sanctions because of it. It was a genocide

[meka4996]

They are the Barbarians, and We are the Civilized Rome, so they should die or be our Slaves... or even better... They are the Terrorists, and We are the Freedom Countries, so they should die or be our Slaves[National Debts]...

[annfidela]

meka4996 : you don't know your history at all. Iraq is the birthplace of civilization. They invented writing and had the first schools and books which includes the first medical book.

[MichaelKrary]

@annfidela

What about the city of Atlantis?

[SAVEPRIVATEBRIAN]

@annfidela Acutally it was Mesopotamia, whitch Iraq was a part of. You should learn you own history.

[annfidela]

@SAVEPRIVATEBRIAN No YOU don't know your history. It was Sumer and they are located in present day Iraq.

[HarvirBraich]

@annfidela i thought human civilisation stemmed from Africa? Please could you send me a link to your statement, im curious

[annfidela]

@HarvirBraich You can google the Sumerians. They were located in present day Iraq and invented the written language. They had the first schools and are thought to invent the wheel.

[krunkaintdead69]

@annfidela * Middle East. Mesopotamia spanned into Western Iran, Syria, Palestine and Lebanon

[guiltytangent]

@annfidela Iraq can't be the birthplace of civilization.

What about the ancient civilizations of China and Americas?

[annfidela]

@guiltytangent Iraq invented the written language so they are the first to have a civilization.

[guiltytangent]

@annfidela Civilization cannot be defined by who created the first written language.

The South Americans and Chinese have their own form of communication, so didn't they also develop civilizations?

[annfidela]

@guiltytangent If you studied anthropology, it states that civilization began in Sumer. Sumer is located in present day Iraq. This is the cradle of civilization. I'm just repeating what the experts say.

[guiltytangent]

@annfidela I do study anthropology and that does not explain how civilization appeared in Meso-America and Ancient China. Sumer cannot be called the cradle of civilization if not all civilizations were derived from Sumer.

[drmnys]

One day America will have to pay for all her crimes. I hope it comes sooner than later for the sake of all the innocents that the US is butchering the world over. U Americans make me sick

[85mrgardner]

You're right. But when you say "we" you refer to the United States in general. Just cause I live here doesn't mean I run the joint. My opinion, instead of looking for WMDs, we should have just taken over completely. This government is too fucking worried about how it looks to the rest of the world. I say the world doesn't like what it's doing anyway, why not just take what they want, fuck excusses, powerful nations don't ask for permission. Look at Rome or Greece or the ancient chinese.

[85mrgardner]

Fuck Codes of Conduct. Fuck the Geneva Conventions. If you're not cheating, you're not trying.

[cheekpalan]

the rules of chemical weapon is suspend after the end of world war 1. Depleted Uranium is new form of chemical weapon that release harmful chemical agent. so a war crime is commited. freedom for US mean slavery for anyone else. that's how US always have acted. so loyal to US prove you are the most selfish punk on earth. gratz on that.

[alboss13]

Hey American people dont know anything about all these. American people are not envolved in anything because they leave them in dark keeping their minds busy with entertainment. Media is US is a brainwashing tool that has made Americans say white when it is obviously black. American nation has to wake up and give an end to the horrible things these people are committing in their name...

[RetSquid]

War Crime: A crime committed in wartime; violation of rules of war.

What rules of war were broken?

[ben5017]

The Code of Conduct for our miltiary forbids the use of toxic agents such as this.

Do you understand the use of materials as this errode the support for our soldiers when the people start to understand the effects of it? You sound rather arrgant and lacking any respect for the people of countries we are at war with ...

Be careful soldiers ... war crimes trials will come about someday!

[RetSquid]

Really? Which Article would that be?

Article I

I am an American, fighting in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.

Article II

I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender the members of my command while they still have the means to resist.

Articles III - V

Cover conduct if taken prisoner.

cont...

[RetSquid]

Artilce VI

I will never forget that I am an American, fighting for freedom, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.

NONE of them cover any war crimes like you seem to think.

Do you know why we dropped two nuclear weapons on Japan?

Because in the long run they SAVED millions of lives both Japanese and American.

These actions in the video are not 'war crimes'.

[ben5017]

You need to look at the military's publication "THE CODE OF CONDUCT WHEN IN COMBAT."

OH BUSH GOT RID OF HABEAS CORPUS ...maybe we are free to arrogantly abuse people of other nations as well ... f the geneva convention I guess it the motto of our govt. If so, I hope you are never taken by our enemy ...

[RetSquid]

Where did you find "THE CODE OF CONDUCT WHEN IN COMBAT." ?

I gave you the Actual Code of conduct.

When do YOU think that Habeas Corpus was gotten rid of???

Terrorists do not qualify for protection under the Geneva Convention.

It only covers the Uniformed Services of Countries.

Why don't you look up some of these things before posting nonsense?

[ben5017]

The Code Of Conduct in Combat is a Field manual that all soldiers recieve. As for Habeas Corpus ... the orginal concept came into being in 1215 with the Magna Carta under british maritime law. They gave pirates Habeas Corpus under British Maritime law ... then Habeas Corpus came into life in the 1600's.

I guess Xe or blackwater Mercenaries are not uniformed soldiers by your same words, so they can be treated just as the people in Gitmo are or worse. This si what happens when a country ...

[ben5017]

that believes it has a moral high ground does things just as bad as the terrorists we are supposed to fear.

Your words, I am sure you collect a govt check and your beleifs reside in your loyalty to your paycheck ... not the Constitution.

Oh, everything past after Federalism that takes rights away or taxes is totally agianst the internt of the founders.

I am sure you are the type of soldier they love who would kill fellow Americans if ordered to do so ...

[RetSquid]

The U.S. is doing things as bad as terrorists? You need to improve your education.

I'm not a Soldier, I'm a Sailor.

I swore that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God

[alboss13]

You have a choice man. Just leave the war if you find it unfair to take human lives for no reason. I dont really understand what makes a US soldier kill a person when he doesnt know why... Just fucking leave. Many have done it and they cant do nothing to you. Involve media ( well theres no free media) Remember the soldier who denied to take the vaccine before going to war.. Who the fuck knows what they give you

[RetSquid]

" they cant do nothing to you"

They can and they will 'do something to you'. Ever hear of The United States Disciplinary Barracks? Or just a brig? "Just leaving" is punishable by death under article 85 or 87 of the UCMJ. But the max sentence recently is 18 months in prison.

[alboss13]

WOW Thats why you have to think well before even joining the army. Most of the people who join th earmy have no choice. No education, no jobs.. Its sad

[RetSquid]

Actually quite a few people who join the Military, even as Enlisted, already have a Degree. You can't join if you have 'no education'. The unemployment rate does help in recruiting, but not as much as people think.

And why/how do you think that joining the Military is sad? There are MANY benefits for joining: Free/cheap education through tuition assistance/GI Bill, free health care, free room/board/travel, retirement (and lifetime health care) with 50% pay after 20 years...

[RetSquid]

I spent 20 years in the Navy and have been to 27 countries and literally been around the world, I have never regretted joining.

People do have to think before they join, just as anyone has to think before signing any long term contract.

But the title of this video is just a plain lie, there is no 'war crime' here.

[alboss13]

Depends on what are your values as a person i guess.This has nothing to do with patriotism, You have a brain and a pair of eyes. Look around you and think. Why do you need to go to Iraq, Aghanistan, Iran??? Is it really worth it to risk my life so my president and his criminal friends can make more profit out of other peoples blood?

[alboss13]

Is it worth it to kill innocent people for no reasonable cause? If you have values and morals as a person , or if you are not brainwashed by this system then you have a choice not to fight for THOSE who control America.

[RetSquid]

"choice not to fight"

You give up that 'right' when you join.

[Hadesofthe07]

@alboss13 thats not true

[arvydas0069]

@alboss13 Wrong. You are a smelly Albanian from a country filled with uneducated, rank with organised crime. I'll take a Soldier or Marine over you anyday to work for me...they are smart, capable, and dependable.....they have honor and courage and they aren't weak like civilians. That alone is worth several times the weight of a puke civilian. Especially an Albanian peechka with no life or career like you

[alboss13]

@arvydas0069 I have no life and i have no career?? :) You dont even know me...

Just for the record cocksucker 50% of the Albanians have at least one university degree. Have you ever heard the stories of the Marines coming back from war in Iraq?? Psychologically fucked for life...

[arvydas0069]

@alboss13 LOL no they don't. That's probably the funniest fake statistic I've ever read! But you know Albanians, dumb as fuck....

Heard stories? I am a Marine that came back and went back and came back, got out of the Marines and came back as an Advisor in Foreign Affairs. No one I know is "psychologically fucked"....this war is nothing to fuck anyone's head with. Even in the hardest of fighting these insurgents were never a match and afraid to fight. Roadside bombs, then boredom. That's Iraq

[alboss13]

@arvydas0069 OK, Whatever makes you happy then. As long as there are idiots like your self to go fight for a non existing cause, there will be no future for this world.

You keep going buddy and one day you will come back in a nice beautiful coffin. Then whos gone give a shit about you?? Regarding your opinion that Albanians are dumb, read the European economical forums and educate your self (of course if you know how to read)

[arvydas0069]

@alboss13 Albanians come to USA in droves because Albania is shit. The cause is already coming to fruition. We fight because we make Muslim extremists DEAD muslim extremists. That's why they are on earth. To be killed. Iraqis suffered for years while Saddam's palaces grew larger and larger. The oil revenues in the next ten years will make Iraq one of the richest Democratic countries on Earth. I'll be around to invest in it's future. I'm not going into a coffin lol...enjoy the Albanian ghetto

[alboss13]

@arvydas0069 you are not worth responding. Iraqi oil will develop Iraq? No my friend Iraqi oil is and will develop a very small group of people. The ones responsible for your ignorance and the injustice of these wars. Those will benefit. And again as long as they have retarded people like your self who go fight their personal wars they will succeed. I can not talk to ignorant people. Just do a favor to your self and give your life some sense EDUCATE YOUR SELF.

[gardenofarcane]

@alboss13 You always have a choice, you choose to kill other person.

[RetSquid]

The Geneva convention ONLY applies to the Uniformed Services of Countries. 

Others would be unlawful combatants.

Bodyguards are neither.

[armst103]

quit your bichin or go france

[cheekpalan]

those are the weapons US using now? are those weapons humane? man hard to trust US army or the government. can't they use traditional gun and bullet?

[HopeForPeaceNow]

Thank you for this information.

May God have mercy on us all.

And wake us up - quick.

[nix1nix2]

Americans are war criminals and somewan must stop them!!! They are dangerous for all mens in the world and for the peoples of america... AMERICAN SATANISTS GO FROM IRAQ!

[peepow123]

American's arent war criminals, America's government is. you have to realize that most American's dont even agree with the war we are in right now. America is a wonderful country and has wonderful ideas, the problem is with our jackass leaders who commandeer the nation for their own personal gain.

don't hate Americans. hate George Bush and Barack Obama.

[4aaaaa4]

Why arent the cancer victims added to the death toll?

[4aaaaa4]

FACE OF GENOCIDE

` ` 2Million human victims of the USAggression ~would have produced an average of 3 children each, if they werent slaughtered.

2Million ppl slaughtered (x 3 kids) would have had 6 Million kids (1st gen)

6,000,000 kids x their 3 kids each, becomes 18Million kids (2nd gen)

18,000,000 kids x their 3 kids each, becomes 54Million kids (3rd gen)

54,000,000 kids x their 3 kids each =170Million kids (4th gen)

A lot of children were meant to be, but were robbed of their life

[beyondthisworld7]

thanx 4 uploading this vid so that everybody on the planet sees the real face of the united states, britain, and israel.

[offsprings1337]

Scary. So many of those people are going to get cancer.

[FREEW0RLD2012]

The cancer rate right now in Iraq is over 600%. Because of the US,Iraq's cancer rate went from a pretty low number,to now skyrocketed. And it's just not Iraqi's dying from the use of DU by the US,it's US troops too.The cancers are really fast acting,"weird" was a description one doctor gave.One US soldier had so many different kinds of cancers--he died in a way no one should die.I can't even describe it to you.Tumors breaking out all over his body(on the outside)...

[Xtr3m3Dang3r]

When you say the cancer rate is 600%- do you mean it is increasing by 600% or that most people get cancer more than once?

[FREEW0RLD2012]

I'm sorry,I meant 6000%,not 600. No I do not mean that Iraqis (& US troops) 'get cancer more than once)

They get it,they die horrifying deaths.

[FREEW0RLD2012]

They ARE getting cancers,and cancers never seen before. US troops are dying of this too...tumors breaking out all over the outside of the body. Not even the highest level of morphine can ease their suffering before they die.

[raybl]

Hindsight is 20/20. We never know what is urgent until too late. But the stage IS set.

*As long as the war criminals are free and without accountability. *They have NOT yet been stopped.

* They have still Much to be gained by War Crime

* They have still MUCH to be lost if they stop War Crime

Iraq is not theirs as long as they are still ashamed.

[raybl]

The group running affairs from behind the stage of the American Administration will continue to grow in

power, and conspire to commit massacre genocide and destruction of people and civilizations,

to false flag their own people again( like they did on 09-11-2001), and to freely loot every civilization on the Earth theat they desire

How old is this video? I am a proud member of the US Military, specifically an Officer in the US Army, and have been for quite a while. I have NEVER even heard of the US actually using DU during the past 10 years (at the least). I know it was used and researched during Desert Storm and Shield, but as of today, it is unheard of due to the ill effects it has not only against enemy forces but friendlies as well, therefore it is not used anymore. Stupid propaganda...

Hazards from depleted uranium

[intherein]

Nipjohn - this is from Jane's Defense News. Anti-west propoganda?

"The Uranium Medical Research Center estimates the amount of DU used in the 2003 war at 1,700 tonnes, deployed in fighting vehicles, tanks, and aircraft. According to UMRC, DU rounds used by US and British forces may have subjected parts of the country to high levels of radioactive contamination. The team's tests showed that air, soil and water samples contained 'hundreds to thousands of times' the normal levels of radiation."

[LukelaLoop]

We live in a world of consequence and karma. Those who can be saved sense the shame and sadness of committing the terrible unconscious acts that we see here.

All beings of this world are our brothers and sisters deserving of a life free of sickness.

Those who seek war, seek difference, control, exploit weakness and produce long term deep suffering dressed in the name freedom. The only way out of this illusion is to remain conscious, seek love, keep thy power within, sned love without. Peace

[mukkeer]

"Medical professionals in hospitals and facilities treating returning soldiers were threatened with $10,000 fines if they talked about the soldiers or their medical problems. They were also threatened with jail."

[nlpjohn]

US laws guarantee the privacy of a patients medical problem. The penalties for violating these privacy laws includes fins and jail time. So your point does nothing to add to the discussion.

[mukkeer]

It wasn't my statement but a quote. But you were wrong by saying plutonium and rather than admit you are wrong you side step the issue. Why do you do that?

[mukkeer]

"Just 467 U.S. personnel were wounded in the three-week Persian Gulf War in 1990-1991. Out of 580,400 soldiers who served in Gulf War I, 11,000 are dead, and by 2000 there were 325,000 on permanent medical disability. This astounding number of disabled vets means that a decade later, 56 percent of those soldiers who served now have medical problems."

Bullshit.... Bollocks....

325,000 on permanent disability out of 580,000! These figures are so silly I'm surprised that anyone with a minimal edication could believe this. I suspect the other figires you cite are bullshit as well...

[mukkeer]

You have got a minimum education nipjohn. Answer these two question. Which developed country's in the world are the was children tested at age 15 years below average, compared with all other developed countries? Also which is the most indebted country in the world?

[mukkeer]

That you think these figures are bullshit displays your ignorance on the subject. Moreover that you do not understand how this reliant to this issue displays an astonishing amount of ignorance on your behave. Which all goes to show you are not the smart ass you think you are. Just a rather silly boy with a big ego.

[nlpjohn]

It shows all you need is faith to believe something. While I require verifiable facts. This is what separates us... As for the problems the USA may have it has nothing to do with DP. The fact you try to change subjects shows an intellectual weakness on your part in this discussion.

[mukkeer]

This topic is about the use of DU and its affects on the battlefield. If you look at all four videos you would have understood this. British and American servicemen are very worried about the affects of DU and there is a big discrepancy between the popular line (what you read) and what they are experiencing in the field. You fail to understand the difference between misinformation and information.

[mukkeer]

During the Gulf War in 1991, US and UK forces used a new weapon against Iraq. This new weapon, the depleted uranium (DU) projectile, is radioactive. Unlike atomic or hydrogen bombs, it involves no nuclear fusion or fission, but nine years after the end of the war, adverse health effects from DU exposure continue to manifest among military personnel and civilians in Iraq where the fighting took place, and among US and British veterans and their families.

[mukkeer]

Another less common source of DU is reprocessed spent nuclear reactor fuel, which can be distinguished from DU produced as a byproduct of uranium enrichment by the presence of U-236.

[nlpjohn]

Fools! U238 is NATURALLY occuring. U238 is 75% denser than lead. After a round hits a tank and the tank burns, it is not going to travel very far. Most troops don't go around inhaling the toxic fumes from burning tanks/cars wether the round was lead or U238. One could argue that U238 is SAFER because its heavy density assures it falls quickly to the ground as oppose to burning steel/lead rounds. I'd rather breath in U238 dust than lead dust. Lead is MUCH MORE toxic. Fools!

[japanesexxxxxxxxx]

You are the fool. There are four isotopes of Uranium and the United States uranium stocks are contaminated with plutonium.

One spent round from an A-10 warthog irradiates at a milliseivert measurement that exceeds the annual safe exposure in just an hour.

That means children playing with the shells break out in skin ulcerations.

I think you should search USAdefeated's playlist and see the videos he has collected.

[nlpjohn]

1. There is ZERO plutonium in depleted uranian round. ZERO... This is a chemical certainty.

2. Lead is more toxic than U238.

3. This video ha so many falsehoods it is as if it was produced in an insane asylum.

4. A U238 particle in the human lung produces ONE alpha ray every 100 days for one year. This is dwarfed by the average exposure we have to radon.

4. Being Japanese, I suspect your anger over WW2 is clouding your judgement.

[japanesexxxxxxxxx]

ok einstein let me point you to the exact video so you can see that plutonium contaminates DU.

The Dept. of Energy has said that its uranium stocks are contaminated and French nulear scientists have tested and found plutonium in A10 warthog shells.

There are four isotopes of Uranium and U236 has been found in soldiers piss tests. Why don't you talk about how safe U236 is you fucktard.

check the video, Iraq War Crimes-Depleted Uranium 4 of 4 - username USAdefeated

watch 4min-8min30sec.

[japanesexxxxxxxxx]

Being American I suspect you are dumbed down.

You act like there is only U238 in DU. Watch the video series Poison DUst and you will see the world's leading physics professor, Michio Kaku, saying exactly how dangerous one alpha particle is.

You are an f-ing joke. Do you think people will believe a nuclear physics professor or you?

And why should I be angry over WW2, when Japan has the richest bank in the world by assets? You may have won the battle but you lost the financial war.

[nlpjohn]

My father was a PhD Chemistry professor who taught at TCU in Ft Worth, Texas. He also worked at the Army proving grounds in Maryland. I believe him....

[SinnerJesus]

And your dad is also a Bible nut who believes the Earth was created just 5000 years ago. :) The real proof will be when these soldiers come back with fucked up sperm and they have children with birth deformities like the children being born in Iraq today. Justice or karma, it's going to happen. Just like the Agent Orange the U.S. sprayed on the Vietnamese like they were bugs. Soldiers are going to be saddled with their crimes one way or another.

[nlpjohn]

I'm an atheist....

And so is my father.... Any other comment Einstein?

[bebeinpa]

Another tolerant atheist...SIGH...

[bebeinpa]

I think your a racist. Remember Nanking!

[mukkeer]

japanese, there are in fact 33 isotopes of Uranium. However whatever type of Uranium these guys were firing it wasn't what they should have been firing. Or was it...

The Pentagon has got into bed with some strange bed fellows.

[nlpjohn]

1. Plutonium is a different element from Uranium. It can only be made by man.

2. Plutonium is MANY times more expensive than gold. Only a brain dead fool would use plutonium or a plutonimum laced round for a kinetic energy round. Yet you claim the USA is dumb enough to do this. Perhaps you have heard in the USA we make our toliet paper out of gold because we Americans are so rich. Yes? You fools will beleve anything...

[mukkeer]

nipjohn read that chapter again and you will find that plutonium dose occur naturally.

"While almost all plutonium is manufactured synthetically, extremely tiny trace amounts are found naturally in uranium ores."

[nlpjohn]

When plutonium is found in nature, it occurs is such small amounts that it is insignificant. I would say 99.9999999999% of all plutonium is man-made. And this figure might be too low. Since the earth is 4+ billions years old, naturally plutonimum is virtually extinct.

[bebeinpa]

Your powers of reasoning have been defeated.

[mukkeer]

I think nipjohn the problem is that depleted uranium dust is radioactive.

[nlpjohn]

Pay attention and note these points....

1. Breathing fumes from burning tanks is bad for you regardless of the type of round that destroys the tank.

2. Breathing burning lead munitions is MUCH-MUCH worse than breathing a burning depleted urananium round.

3. A U238 particle in the human lung produces ONE alpha ray every 100 days for one year. This is dwarfed by the average exposure we have to radon.

4. The depleted uranian is just a lot of hype to frighten the under educated.

[mukkeer]

Have you seen all the videos in this series. It doesn't look like these shells were made from depleted uranium or natural uranium but another much more radioactive type of uranium. What could that be? Surely not the fuel for atom bombs?

[nlpjohn]

The video contains so many lies that can be disproved with a freshman chemistry book.  In the first 10 seconds of the video there make a complete falsehood about naturally occurring U238.

[mukkeer]

Look I am sure you are right but you seem to be missing the main point. These shells were not made from depleted uranium. But from reactor uranium. That is why the levels of radiation are so high. If that is true then you can understand why Pentagon want to hush the whole thing up. This would mean all solders who handled these weapons are at risk. Now I am not saying they are right I am just going along with what they have said in the video.

[mukkeer]

Which means 1000000 particles in the body, which is more likely to be the case, produces 1000000 alpha rays every 100 days or 1000 alpha rays every day.

[nlpjohn]

1. Naturally occuring radon in the air we breathe is MUCH-MORE significant than any amount of DP a soldier might inhale after a tank burns with a DP round.

2. Your average luminated watch with tritium has more radioactivity than depleted uranium. Long half lives = More safe. Compared to lead, DP is like a Vitamin tablet. If you want to worry about something, then worry about breathing in lead.

*Your chasing an urban legend. The people that believe this, believe 911 was an inside job.

[jshabadoo]

You obviously don't know anything about weapons technology.

[mrjustin5]

What does that mean? Do you deny the truth?
