Soaring Birth Deformities and Child Cancer Rates in Iraq


http://www.gnn.tv/headlines/2792/Soaring_Birth_Deformities_and_Child_Cancer_Rates_in_Iraq


I'm only going to post one paragraph from this article:

Dr Zenad Mohammed, from a hospital in Basra, herself pregnant, who was so terrified of giving birth to a severely malformed child, that she was doing her own monitoring of the problem. Her notes begin ‘In August we had three babies born with no head. Four had abnormally large heads. In September we had six with no heads, none with large heads and two with short limbs. In October, one with no head, four with big heads and four with deformed limbs or other types of deformities‘
----------------------------------


and anyone going to and staying for awhile in Iraq will bring this poison home with them.

the US only, if pressured, will test urine. but the important test, the bone test, cannot be done because the criminal bushgang hasn't set up the procedure to do it.

look - these DU weapons, etc. are made here in america by americans who are being poisoned in the plants and bringing it home. what are the deformities and cancer rates of these workers and families? are theses facts hidden? has anyone connected the dots?

2. This is happening in Afghanistan also.
2003 article, but a good one:
Afghanistan, Iraq and Depleted Uranium By John Peterson
May 24, 2003
link: http://la.indymedia.org/news/2003/05/60556.php

And now we've added an additional 2 years' worth of depleted uranium to enhance what's described in this article.

EVERYBODY LOSES WITH THIS ... EVERYBODY.

4. Was thinking about this just this morning. It is one of my
main replies on why our invasion was not the right thing to do fot the Iraqis or us. (Along with land mines and cluster bombs)
