here is the story. The battle for Fallujah was intense, and used much depleted uranium in bombs. uranium tipped bombs-missiles can penetrate metal easier than non uranium tipped. of course, radiation is left behind. the irony of the Iraq war is that WMD's turned out not to be there, until we entered, and we brought WMD's into Iraq in the form of depleted uranium and white phosphorus. here is another resource about the destruction we brought to Iraq that is long lasting.
The least we can do after we introduce toxins to a nation is to clean up after ourselves. in Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, there is lots of unexploded ordinance, land mines, and left over toxins from agent orange. of course, we didnt put in all the mines. but the least we should do is to help those countries clean up the unexploded ordinance.
its so easy to drop bombs, much harder to clean up afterward.
No doubt the battle for Fallujah took many lives of US soldiers. It was not clear however if the iraqi men who were fighting in Fallujah were Al queda terrorists, of if they were Iraqi men defending their city.
What a mess. Now there has been a significant increase in birth defects in Fallujah and other locations across Iraq. This will effect an entire generation of people.
And there is a video game called "Six days in Fallujah," a real shoot em up game where you can kill terrorists. making money off the misery of these people. off the deaths of our own soldiers.
Obscene.
