Leave Your Children Behind, You Are Both Going to Iraq
So it is that our American youth, and even grandfathers are being called up, not to defend our country as it says in their contracts, but to fight a colonial war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Alas, this is a war that America will lose, not only in terms of its goals of occupying Iraq, but in terms of its children who will lose parents, security, and the health of those who go to Iraq. Scientists have estimated that there is 10 times the amount of radioactivity in Iraq as there was in Hiroshima because of the “depleted uranium” we are using on a daily basis. It will be Agent Orange all over again. Many of us have lost friends to cancer from Agent Orange—and just remember how many years it took for the federal government and the military to admit that Agent Orange had been a factor in the birth deformations of babies born to Agent Orange exposed parents, the number of cancer deaths which is inordinately high compared to the average population. None of this would have come out if it had not been for Admiral Zumwalt, who lost a son to Agent Orange. Until he came out publicly about it, none of our media wanted to cover it. It will take the same type of thing to get the story out about the depleted uranium as well.
And remember this,depleted uranium has a half-life of a thousand years.
