This should now get interesting with Gulf War Veterans 90-91 and to present and their health effects that our own government has ignored for 19 years
Iraq to sue US, Britain over depleted uranium bombs
Iraq’s Ministry for Human Rights will file a lawsuit against Britain and the US over their use of depleted uranium bombs in Iraq, an Iraqi minister says.
Iraq’s Minister of Human Rights, Wijdan Mikhail Salim, told Assabah newspaper that the lawsuit will be launched based on reports from the Iraqi ministries of science and the environment.
According to the reports, during the first year of the US and British invasion of Iraq, both countries had repeatedly used bombs containing depleted uranium.
According to Iraqi military experts, the US and Britain bombed the country with nearly 2,000 tons of depleted uranium bombs during the early years of the Iraq war.
Atomic radiation has increased the number of babies born with defects in the southern provinces of Iraq.
Iraqi doctors say they’ have been struggling to cope with the rise in the number of cancer cases —especially in cities subjected to heavy U-S and British bombardment.
The high rate of birth defects and cancer cases will move in the coming years to the central and northern provinces of Iraq since the radiation may penetrate the soil and water by air.
The ministry will seek compensation for the victims of these bombs.

In return, America needs to sue Iraq to recover the costs of giving them freedom.
Freedom to have mutant babies for generations to come? Nice, the gift that keeps giving. By the way, our veterans who were also exposed to DU are coming home and having mutant babies too. From USSA with Love.
