Oregon Guard soldiers lawsuit again war contractor KBR can go forward
Source: oregon live

An Oregon Army National Guard soldiers' lawsuit against war contractor Kellogg, Brown & Root over exposure to a cancer-causing chemical will go forward, a federal judge ruled Friday in Portland.

U.S. District Judge Magistrate Paul Papak denied KBR's motion to dismiss the case, saying the court in Oregon does have jurisdiction.

The ruling is a significant step for 21 Oregon soldiers who claim they were intentionally exposed to the chemical hexavalent chromium after the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003. Troops from Oregon and two other states were ordered to guard employees of the Houston-based holding company and its four subsidiaries, which were restoring oil production in southern Iraq.

The soldiers claim that at the Qarmat Ali water plant, KBR ignored and downplayed the health risks of a corrosion-fighter scattered across the facility that contained hexavalent chromium. Soldiers sued alleging lung and other health problems as a result.

1. This is for the soldiers. Do some research and see if you cannot rid your body of those chemicals
using bentonite colloidals. YOU MUST TAKE PSYLLIUM AND DRINK LOTS OF WATER TO PUSH THE POISONS, CHEMICALS, and HEAVY METALS out of your body when the properties of the bentonite begin to work to bring all of this into your intestines for elimination. If you don't you will experience BAD constipation. But if you take the fiber and drink the water, and take some Smooth Move tea, you will get rid of these and clean your body out.

Sorry these criminals hurt you, but if you get clean then you can enjoy the cash you get from the lawsuit!

Listen to this song to give you some spirit to make them pay:
