“But the men of the 442 and the 131,000 U.S. and 24,000 Coalition soldiers serving in Iraq deserve more. They deserve a ban on Depleted Uranium.”
It’s always fascinating anew, in sort of a sickening way, how aggressors have a knack to cast themselves as victims of their own aggression. The US-forces, the US-media and John & Jane Public do not form an exception.
Back in the 1960s & 1970s, they all bitterly lamented the US-victims of the Vietnam war, hardly anybody mentioned the manifold worse suffering of the victimised Vietnamese, Cambodians and Laotians - both directly through US-bombs and chemical warfare, and indirectly in the wake of said warfare. Had the US not bombed Cambodia, it is highly doubtful that the murderous regime of Pol Pot ever would have had a shot at power.
It followed logically from this skewed view of who had been victimized by whom, that the “richest nation in the world” never did make the slightest official effort to acknowledge its wrongdoing, let alone to redress with generous material support and help the injury it had caused in this “righteous war against communist aggression”. Rather to the contrary.
And now in Iraq?
Once again, the focus is on the victimised US-forces, even in the anti-war “In These Times”.
Sure, the US- and coalition soldiers deserve a ban on Depleted Uranium. But what about the Iraqui people? Would they not have deserved such a ban already long ago, with much greater right and with far more urgency?
After all, the US-forces affected by DU are only reaping a tiny fraction of the pernicious seeds they so genereously did sow, both in this “Gulf War” and in the previous one.
Reports of the disastrous effects of DU on the Iraqui people have been published - and, naturally, denied by the US-military and political leadership - already shortly after the first “Gulf War”. And the media did not raise much of a stink about it.
Presumably, those in the say then years ago must have thought “it was worth the price”.
Today, there is reason to fear, that as long as there are only a few “confirmed” US-victims of DU, “it” still will be “worth the price”. As long as the price is paid in Iraqui lives.

Yes, the Iraqi people deserve to have this abomination banned.
The U.S. has dispersed 405 tons of DU in the past 14 years: 320 tons in the 1st Gulf War, 10 tons in Yugoslavia and 75 tons in the latest conflict.
Safe? With a half-life of 4.5 billion years, it’s hardly safe. In fact, it’s one of the worst chemical weapons ever used. Cancer rates in Kosovo are up 166% and rising. In Iraq, 700-1000%. Deformities are up 400-600%. Gulf war veterans cancer rates are up 67%.

This is an abomination the world will never be rid of. Our sun will super-nova before the half-life of DU is over.
epix is right—the U.S., the dispersers of this horror, has little room to complain. But the innocent soldier is falling victim just like the Iraqi citizen. Only the soldier is beign betrayed by his/her own government by being told it’s safe.
I have to give In These Times the benefit of the doubt on this one. I don’t believe they’re making light of the Iraqi people’s plight. I would hope most readers of ITT would understand the Iraqi people are still, still, fucking still getting the shaft.
It doesn’t matter, though. The horror continues, babies are being born without eyes, enlarged heads, horrible deformities. It’s an outrage.
This is the democracy we bring them?

There is much controversy on the use of Depleted Uranium. However a look through Google using maternity hospitals possibly with Croatia will turn up many reports. Kaiser has a report that can be lost except on my web site searching for DU.
The use of DU must stop both militarily and commercially.

we have depleted uranium on our doorstep, should we all be worried!one local doctor has dissmised claims of any leukemnia in dumfries and galloway as a whole,there is a live firing range down the road in dundrenan,is it safe to swim in the sea,and play in the sand,one local counciller thinks it is,he swims there all the time,they will not release any medical information on child or adult leukeamna,yours in disgust

If they use DU on the range they could be contaminated. My WEB site has further information:

It is my opinion that Depleted Uranium (DU) is very dangerous, and I fear for our soldiers that are being exposed to it over in Iraq. I also found a website (a few months back) which showed Iraqi babies born with birth defects due to being contaminated with DU. There were huge black areas all over their little bodies that looked translucent, and my thoughts were, “Surely they can’t live with these defects and will soon die. My heart went out to them and to their mothers who must have suffered miserably while they were pregnant. May God have mercy on us for doing this to them. It makes me sick!
Now, since May 12, 2008, we have DU now being stored stateside according to Cheney’s Halliburton having a no-bid contract on this contaminated Kuwaiti sand via the Army and American Ecology Corp.
Apparently, they have shipped approximately 6,700 tons of contaminated Kuwaiti sand halfway around the world from the Persian Gulf to the Grand View, Idaho hazardous waste landfill (near Boise, Idaho). This sand is left over from Gulf War I in the winter of 1992-1993, which caught fire and became a real “toxic mess” and has been causing health problems to the Kuwaitis; so they told the DOD that they wanted it moved out of there.
According to the retired major that originally stored the contaminants in preparation for gulf war II, which included DU, chemicals and chemical weapons, biological weapons, conventional munitions, tanks, artillery and fuel radiation, etc., this sand may be contaminated with toxic levels of highly dangerous substances that we’re not being told about.
Idaho governor, Butch Otter, claims “(radiation levels) dose rate measurements were taken on the surface of the container. These measurements were between 12 and 14 microem per hour (uRem/hr)”. (See article at http://proliberty.com/observer/20080507.htm).
If what the Idaho governor said is true, it would hardly be worth the shipping costs to ship 6,700 tons of low-grade radiated sand to Idaho from the other side of the world/Kuwait. Apparently, storing contaminants is big business in America, today (if you can find a place where they’ll take it.)
Without consent of the people, Governor Otter also stated that he is going ahead with plans to expand uranium mining operations in Idaho and is courting a French company that wants to process raw uranium into plutonium at plants to be built in Idaho.
Has this man lost his mind? Where is his concern about people and the environment?
I live in fairly close proximity to the Grand View landfill/dump (about 140 miles downwind), and I have noticed a very obnoxious element in the air that has made me sick and caused me to have a bloody noses with a lot of irritation in my sinuses, and huge scabs which have formed above and below my nose. Since I have lived here, I have never experienced anything like this (or at any other time).
With my experiences in Salt Lake with the nerve gas incinerator and chemicals being sprayed on us from the sky, I have found that I am very allergic to anything that is chemical.
In one of the websites (http://www.2news.tv/news/18476139.html), it shows a dump truck carrying the Kuwaiti contaminated sand. It shows (DU?) dust coming out of the back of the truck and flying around, and the back of the dump truck is covered with a flimsy canvass-type material. Very hap-hazardous if you ask me. Then, when the dump truck arrives at the dump site, they probably take off the canvass and then just dump the contaminants into the silo or landfill. What ever happened to the “carefully loaded rail car” that they state so emphatically talk about and say they are being so careful not to let any of the contaminants escape. So much baloney!

Well, here it is September, 2009. I’m still not well - but I am better. I still have a Mycoplasma paralysis/nerve type condition (which I believe I received as a result of an airplane (which I saw) spraying an unknown substance over my home during the night in February 2008 and I had to walk through that mist the next day to get help to change a flat tire) - and also a depleted uranium contamination which I believe I encountered when a fierce wind blew DU downwind in through our windows from an illegal (near) Boise, Idaho Grandview landfill DU dumping in June 2008 which stung the inside of my nose and caused me to have scabs and become sick - which I believe also decimated a plethoral jackrabbit population).
I am greatly concerned that EnergySolutions at Clive, Utah (about 40 miles west of Salt Lake City) wants to bring in and store over a million tons of DU and put it in a landfill there - which according to (expert) Doug Rokke, it is highly illegal to dispose DU into a landfill. I have family in Salt Lake and the surrounding area and am protesting and bringing as much attention to the potential extreme dangers that exposure to any kind of DU poses. If it wasn’t dangerous, they wouldn’t be shipping it here and paying the high disposal costs.
After barely living through the nerve gas incineration which blew over the Oquirrh mountains into Salt Lake when I lived there (I think they have finally dismantled the 12-year old incinerator), I don’t trust them to do the right thing on this DU. The people involved have proven themselves to be greedy, ruthless people who don’t care how they endanger the people’s health as long as they can make a huge profit.
They say it is low-level DU - which is balone;y, because there is no such thing as low-level DU. It’s all highly lethal with a very long life.

It is now the 12th of February 2010.
I am still sickly, but I am better than I have been (wherein I fainted and hit my head - and other stuff, ouch!!). And I still get dizzy and sometimes don’t walk too well as a result of the semi-paralysis of the micoplasma (that I encountered when I walked through a mist sprayed from a low-flying airplane during a February night a couple of years ago when I needed to get help to change my flat tire).
My poor neighbor who changed my tire on that day apparently has now also come down with micoplasma. I feel so badly for him. Last month, he tried to get up from his chair and had to pull himself up by the corner of the wall. His arm was shaking as with extreme trauma. And he came over to my home yesterday, and said that because of his leg problems, he had fallen in the snow and injured his knee. He now has nerve trama especially in his legs and has had to go to bed because of leg spasms and uncontrollable twitching. His eyes looked like he had been very sick. He said that he hadn’t been able to sleep for days.
I CAN sleep very well, and I think the reason is the treatment that I am following, which is different from his. He refrains from touching his body as if it’s diseased and might spread if he forgets to wash his hands. I learned that by lightly scratching and massaging my skin and muscles that it soothes and relaxes my body and helps me to sleep (kind of like an endorphine). I also mix a little Vicks VapoRub and Castor Oil (both bacteria killers) together in my hand and rub it into my skin - wherever the irritated area is. It helps a lot (but I don’t use the Castor Oil very often because if may cause scarring unless I use the cold- pressed kind. (My son had a mole on his back that wouldn’t heal for six months until I used this method). I also take plenty of herbs and vitamins and my doctor’s prescription of a mixture of natural garlic with a medicine that helps to clear out the micoplasma. I can tell if I run out of the medicine, so I know it’s working.
Since my neighbor is in such bad shape, I think I am winning him over to my method of treatment. His VA doctor advises acupuncture, surgery, and other medicine which isn’t even related to the disease. He doesn’t recognize micoplasma and barely has heard of it, even though it is becoming epidemic across the nation. Even though the VA said they had done tests for micoplasma, I don’t really believe they did. I’ve heard too many stories. It saddens me that he just keeps on getting worse and worse.

I don’t know the full story yet about the depleted uranium (DU) which was recently shipped to the (Energy Solutions?) landfill at Clive, Utah (a few miles west of Salt Lake). I do know there were many protests made by people speaking out about the dangers and health risks of dumping “more” DU in the landfill there. I also know that some leaders and politicans went ahead and arranged to have it brought to Utah anyway (for no other reason that I can think of except to “follow and go after the money”).
But the good news is that interested parties were able to stipulate that it be inspected before it is to be buried.
Well, I guess it didn’t pass inspection, and the last I heard, it is still sitting there in the containers awaiting further decisions and instructions.
And I say, “Bravo!” It’s too bad that Idaho was not able to place the same stipulations on that May-June 2008 arrival of (67,000?) tons of DU shipped halfway around the world from Kuwait and haphazardly dumped at the American Ecology Grandview landfill (about 30 miles SW of Boise) during a fierce wind. When retired Colonel Doug Rokke, an expert and a man with a lot of DU experience, called and asked the Grandview American Ecology assistant-in-charge if he was aware of the government regulations on the disposal of DU (that it is illegal to put it in a landfill! etc.), he said, “Huh?”
Well, that DU (with a radiation life of millions of years) has now been blown all over the place (I know because I’m 140 miles downwind, and it came in through my window screens and stung and put scabs on the inside and outside of my nose, made me sick, and kept us indoors all summer when there was lots of work that needed to be done outside. It also decimated a plethora of jackrabbits nearby, which haven’t been seen since.
And I say, “Hurray Doug Rokke!” I heard him this morning on “GCNlive.com” - an internet station on the Joyce Riley, (Power Hour), 3rd hour show. (Click on “listen” and then search out her name and click there on the archives. It will be well worth your time.)
Doug is quite sick from his various encounters with DU and has devoted himself to making as many people as he can be aware of how very dangerous DU is and how over a million veterans are very sick, or have died as a result of their horrendous DU encounters.
And in spite of his bad health, he has taken up the plight of America’s sick veterans who desperatly need disability help but have been denied and are being ignored as in “Delay and Deny until they Die!”
How sad!
