"yes_it's_me" No state in the Union, wants that radioactive waste in their back yard, for health reasons, and because it has a half life of 4.46 billion years.

Do your homework. There are no longer any 'unfavorable effects to the ambience and the electorate of Iraq' from depleted Uranium because of the fact ... that's er, depleted? Depleted Uranium is used in shells because of the fact its severe density makes it solid for piercing armour. The Germans used Uranium in international warfare II for the comparable reason. Very fairly a lot of this substance fill the tail of each and every Jumbo Jet and the keel of each and every suitable type racing yacht.

You already know that they are and the word "depleted" means just that. I served in Desert Storm and we used plenty of depleted uranium and I never have heard of a case of radiation poisoning caused by the use of it. Besides the use is primarily in "bunker Buster" bombs and it enables the bomb to penetrate though reinforced concrete and basically save soldiers lives by eliminating the threat of people underground surviving the blast and and some poor soldier having to crawl in and find the survivors.
If you think that depleted uranium is a nuclear weapon, then you need a class in basic physics.

Here we go......... Man this gets old.
First, its not nuclear armament. Depleted Uranium is a heavy metal used as a armor piercing round. Is it making troops sick? No. Is it in use now? Well till the bad guys start using tanks, no not really.

Based on my knowledge depleted uranium is primarily used in anti tank weapons. Use in Iraq is doubtful. I don't think depleted uranium is considered a nuclear weapon.

Have no doubt about this. DU is slowly killing millions exposed to it, and causing an epidemic of diabetes. The Illuminati will stop at nothing to achieve their goal of 2/3 world population reduction, so they can institute their new world order fascist police state.

They have been using it since the Gulf War in 1990.....Another reason for the Arabs to hate America and if the Americans were in their position I doubt they won't behave like them.

They have been. These weapons have also been used in densely populated urban areas. Generations of civilians will have to deal with this. It is a war crime.

They aren't even using it. And if it is depleted, it is not radioactive, therefore, it can't make the soldiers sick.
