DU IS a weapon of mass destruction (effects lasting generations) and all the evidence to prove it must be quashed as quickly as possible or the US govt will be held accountable in some fashion (lawsuits by american soldiers families at very least) we dropped aprox 315 tons of DU on kuwait and Iraq in gulf war I .. i havnt heard a number for afghanistan but now the number for gulf war II is 1000 to 2000 tons of DU used. time will tell what effect that has. During gulf war one Doug Rokke and his team of doctors were releasing information about DU that the bush administration (some years later) claimed was Saddams propaganda! so now we have a huge racist and patriotic bias to use upon anyone that talks about cancer rates or deformities in Iraq. if one speaks up about it we are often called commies or anti-american.. why is it that soldiers that speak up about it are discharged and thier records 'lost' so they can't get benefits such as healthcare coverage??? one thing that really bothers me is the corporate profit on something like DU.. many of these flag wavers i run into agree with me that corporations are doing a lot of damage but when the du issue comes up they're like 'oh no, our government would Never do that" as if our government wasnt riddled with corporate crimminals making a buck on everything they can.
wouldnt targetting water reclamation and basic civilian infrastructure somehow qualify as wmd tactics? i think the definition based on the number of people killed directly or indirectly should define the term WMD but that would point at the US too much so its quashed.. like the siege mentality of the iraq sanctions, it targets a whole people not specifically a military and was outlawed by non-terrorist nations a while ago(siege warfare that is).
and about 'smart' bombs, as we found out after gwI the success ratio was much much less than they had hoped.. they claimed 90% or so just after the war but the numbers kept dropping after investigation. i wonder what the results were this time around.
oh and thanks for the lyrics vince, i do wish i was more than amature at the guitar
