I thought I was “on top of things”, but I never knew the United States was using Depleted Uranium weapons. Why don’t we just call them dirty bombs, which is exactly what they are. Not only were soldiers affected, but children were, too. This is the culture of life?
So far, this war makes it seem as though the United States:
- Encourages torture
- Disregards our own citizens’ Constitutional rights whenever it’s convenient
- Likes to spread radioactive contamination
- Cares more about oil than women’s rights
- Will destroy anyone (and his CIA-agent wife) who comes out against the war
- Doesn’t give a darn about the U.N.
- Currently has the “W"orst President EVER
This is not the country I thought I lived in. I feel like I’ve been duped my whole life.

This is not new. The use of depleted uranium in Iraq goes back to the First Gulf War, and the toll on Iraqi children through death and deformity has been documented by humanitarian groups through the years.
This will play out just as Agent Orange did in Vietnam. The government will conclude that there are no side effects to DU, and that the soldiers and their children are delusional. Such is the price of being a pawn in wars of choice.
My greater concern is with the silence of the Congress. There is not a crime committed by this administration which has been challenged or questioned or even acknowledged by the large majority of inactive men and women in Washington.
If you are concerned about the apathy, intimidation, and/or lemming behavior of your own person in Congress, read this editorial through. Then print it out and mail it to your personal Washington Wimp if the shoe fits. It probably will.
The article, from TvNewsLIES.org begins like this:
“What shameful toads you are! Yes you, our elected lawmakers. Yes you, the folks we sent to Washington in our names. Yes you, the most spineless, cowardly and craven Congress people in history. Yes you, the most bullied, gutless and shameful herd of legislators ever elected. And you know exactly who you are.”

Question: Why aren’t stories like this plastered all over the mainstream media? 2nd question:Why is it that the only really positive opinions about Cindy Sheehan are posted in the “letters to the editor section of your daily newspaper? Our beloved country has been taken over by evil nazis,and it seems that nobody cares.
