[ RadSafe ] Re: A likely source for a great many of the contested birth defects...

[James Salsman]

The fact remains that the number of birth defects in the children of
combat-deployed male U.S. and U.K. 1991 Gulf War troops has been
rising sharply, from 180% above the non-combat troops from the same
era in 2000, to 220% in 2003.  Nutritional deficiency-related causes
of birth defects affect mothers, not fathers.

People who refuse to face the truth and solve this problem are only
giving the military more of the same P.R. problems that they got from
agent orange.  This problem won't go away by simply ignoring it, or
telling lies, or trying to distract with anecdotes or hand-waving.

People who defend depleted uranium weaponry claim to be in support of
the military.  For all the good they are doing, they might as well be
bombing recruiting stations.

Sincerely,
James Salsman

NONE .. that was found and it sure as hell was not Uranium oxide.  All of you people who chant your DU mantras are flat out politically nuts and scientifically ignorant!  All of you ignore those scientific facts which do not fit with your scheme.
