"... and 2,000 more tons of radioactive rubble has been added from our
present Gulf War II." ... i wszystko to w imie rozwoju demokracji i ogolnego
szczescia.
Through four wars (Gulf War I, Sarajevo, Afghanistan, and Gulf War II), the
U.S. military has deployed tons of nuclear tank missiles of depleted uranium
(DU), which are solid 10-pound uranium bullets made from radioactive waste
from the U.S. Department of Energy's uranium enrichment process. At least 350
tons of solid radioactive uranium remains in Iraq after Gulf War I, and 2,000
more tons of radioactive rubble has been added from our present Gulf War II.
Depleted uranium has a half-life of 4.5 billion years.
According to Pentagon experts, approximately 13,000 Gulf War I veterans are
now dead as result of injuries and illnesses incurred while participating in
military operations between August 1990 and October 1991. As of May 2002, at
least 221,000 veterans were on disability as result of injuries and illnesses
incurred during military operations in the Persian Gulf combat theater of
operations. All of our troops presently in Iraq are continually being exposed
to this radioactive depleted uranium contamination, other war related
contaminants, water- and food-borne illnesses, and endemic diseases every
second they remain there.
