DUStory - Links to Various International

Depleted Uranium is not a nuclear weapon, nor is it a chemical weapon. It is a bullet; that's all. It does not even explode. This evening, I found that Southern Iraq actually has been surveyed by a UNEP team; I was surprised to see with the murder of the UN mission before they even captured Saddam Hussein that UNEP had done anything in Iraq let alone made a comprehensive DU survey in Basra and other southern Iraq cities and areas. The link is in the DUStories links section - it has not yet been placed in a message that anyone can read without joining that Yahoo group. 
 
The UN also has a Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission and they issued a lengthy report. The word "uranium" does not appear in that report.  
 
DU has been found to not be a hazard to the environment or the public in Boznia-Herzegovina by UNEP after extensive international field and laboratory research; Kuwait by IAEA after similar extensive international research and in Southern Iraq by a UNEP trained Iraqi field team that had the samples analyzed at a Swiss lab. Uranium natural levels in Afghanistan are also recorded in a UNEP report. DU is really a non issue except on the net and in far left political circles. Bush had nothing to do with the development of DU kinetic energy penetrator munitions and once he committed US armored forces to battle, he could not expect them to face the fairly sophisticated Soviet Bloc tanks used by the Iraqi Army without their best weapon. I do welcome a link to the UN report because I expect it contains false information. There are substantial false comments - they even make the UNEP reports. They mention non-existent DU-tipped missiles fired by helicopters, so even they, who did good solid science with the field sampling and laboratory anlysis have been led astray by the massive amount of deliberate misinformation on the net.
