Daily News @ http://RevolutionNews.US — Depleted Uranium: A Strange Way To Protect Libyan Civilians... "[Depleted uranium tipped missiles] fit the description of a dirty bomb in every way... I would say that it is the perfect weapon for killing lots of people." ~ Marion Falk, chemical physicist (retd), Lawrence Livermore Lab, California, USA

In the first 24 hours of the Libyan attack, US B-2s dropped forty-five 2,000-pound bombs. These massive bombs, along with the Cruise missiles launched from British and French planes and ships, all contained depleted uranium (DU) warheads.

DU is the waste product from the process of enriching uranium ore. It is used in nuclear weapons and reactors. Because it is a very heavy substance, 1.7 times denser than lead, it is highly valued by the military for its ability to punch through armored vehicles and buildings. When a weapon made with a DU tip strikes a solid object like the side of a tank, it goes straight through it, then erupts in a burning cloud of vapor. The vapor settles as dust, which is not only poisonous, but also radioactive.

An impacting DU missile burns at 10,000 degrees C. When it strikes a target, 30% fragments into shrapnel. The remaining 70% vaporises into three highly-toxic oxides, including uranium oxide. This black dust remains suspended in the air and, according to wind and weather, can travel over great distances. If you think Iraq and Libya are far away, remember that radiation from Chernobyl reached Wales.

Particles less than 5 microns in diameter are easily inhaled and may remain in the lungs or other organs for years. Internalized DU can cause kidney damage, cancers of the lung and bone, skin disorders, neurocognitive disorders, chromosome damage, immune deficiency syndromes and rare kidney and bowel diseases. Pregnant women exposed to DU may give birth to infants with genetic defects. Once the dust has vaporised, don't expect the problem to go away soon. As an alpha particle emitter, DU has a half life of 4.5 billion years.

In the 'shock and awe' attack on Iraq, more than 1,500 bombs and missiles were dropped on Baghdad alone. Seymour Hersh has claimed that the US Third Marine Aircraft Wing alone dropped more than "five hundred thousand tons of ordnance". All of it DU-tipped.

Al Jazeera reported that invading US forces fired two hundred tons of radioactive material into buildings, homes, streets and gardens of Baghdad. A reporter from the Christian Science Monitor took a Geiger counter to parts of the city that had been subjected to heavy shelling by US troops. He found radiation levels 1,000 to 1,900 times higher than normal in residential areas. With its population of 26 million, the US dropped a one-ton bomb for every 52 Iraqi citizens or 40 pounds of explosives per person.

William Hague has said that we are in Libya " to protect civilians and civilian-populated areas".You don't have to look far for who and what are being 'protected'.

In that first 24 hours the 'Allies' 'expended' £100 million on DU-tipped ordnance. The European Union's arms control report said member states issued licences in 2009 for the sale of £293.2 million worth of weapons and weapons systems to Libya. Britain issued arms firms licences for the sale of £21.7 million worth of weaponry to Libya and were also paid by Colonel Gadaffi to send the SAS to train his 32nd Brigade.

For the next 4.5 billion years, I'll bet that William Hague will not be holidaying in North Africa.

  • @ZYCERIN I'll be honest I just reread that and it came out horribly, I'm saying we need to start profiling people who "look" like terrorists, brown skin, or arabic looking. I don't give a fuck if it offends anyone.

  • @BMunich16 "...they have brown skin for God's sake!"

    Alrighty, this conversation has ended. Thank you for showing your ass publicly.

    

  • @ZYCERIN Lets stop kidding ourselves and pretending that muslims don't pose a threat, they have brown skin for God's sake! If we continue down this road our country is doomed. And if you hate our political system, go to Cuba, I'm sure you'll like their socialized medicine.

  • @ZYCERIN Yes, Washington's problems are due to the liberals, they are turning their backs on the principles that made this country great and making our kids soft and ruining the sanctity of families. We never funded Iran's nuclear weapons which is clearly what I'm referring to. We aren't a "leading" terrorist let alone a terrorist nation. My main beef is that in this ultrasensitive society of pussies, we are so fucking afraid to offend anyone at the airport by racial profiling and wiretaps,

  • @BMunich16 What flag is flying over Benghazi right now??? An Al Qaeda flag.

    And you keep trying to justify that P.O.S. they call the "patriot" act. It really makes sense w/your "conservative" views. ;)

    I will ask you again; did you actually watch the vid that you are posting under?

    You really need to do some research and stop assuming everyone is a "clown" or "liberal". I assure you I am neither.

    

  • @BMunich16 you to attack my intelligence? HAH!

    No, you are the uneducated one who is apparently too afraid to find out what's really going on. Now then, are there terrorist outside the U.S? Absolutely! No one can argue that, the point is however that we are the LEADING terrorist.

    Clinton was no saint, he did attempt to go after the Taliban and was blocked by the Republicans. You see it's a BS game that they play and the only real divide in politics is between us "peasants". And that is a fact.

  • @BMunich16 No, no, no. You really have all this wrong. The battle of libs vs. conservatives is a battle of luxury that you, nor I, as an American can afford at this time. Do you really believe that Washington's problems are due to the Liberals? The white house and the 2 party system is a joke at best, they are 2 sides to the same damn coin, and you would do best to wake up to that.

    And yes we have funded Iran, you can't be this ignorant. N.Korea I have no idea, but I am being honest, and for...

  • @ZYCERIN How uneducated are you? When did we fund Iran and North Korea? And to say Iraq and Afghanistan had nothing to do with 9/11? Ever hear of the Taliban regime? How many times have we been attacked since 9/11? None, that's right, because conservatives aren't morally confused like the Clinton administration who ignored an attack. And no, we didn't back Al Qaeda in Libya, you're pulling this out of your ass now. Stop being a brain dead zombie and sucking up the liberal media's bullshit.

  • @BMunich16 You can't be serious...and if you are it wouldn't matter if I showed you since the evidence is EVERYWHERE and happening all the time. Did you even watch this vid?

    All roads lead to Rome or in this case the U.S. We are currently in how many wars? To protect ourselves from weapons and people that WE funded, that WE armed in the 1st place?!

    We have spent a decade in a country that had NOTHING to do w/911, for what? Oh yeah DEMOCRACY!

    Oh and we just backed Al Qaeda in Libya.

    Piss off.

  • @ZYCERIN Who have we terrorized in the name of God? How about democracy?
