I'd like to ask for an investigative thread on DU about DEPLETED URANIUM.

[Decruiter]

Please help.

I'll start with Traprock Peace Center and Doug Rokke.

Will anyone ever start to give a good god damned? Not. This man, Mr. Rokke is a soldier and he paints a very clear picture.

It will motivate you, or immobilize you. It will make you cry.

Then there is Loren Moret.

You guys at DU, please follow up, I've got to get some rest but this is important.

I'm counting on all of you.

We need to make a stand on this.

Peace

1. Do you know Dennis Kyne?

http://www.denniskyne.com/DU
Kyne is the author of the infamous article regarding depleted uranium, What happened to the Test Tube Paradigm? He is also featured in a number of documentaries that address the implications of uranium use. Kyne can be viewed in, the Berkeley 2005 film festival Grand Festival Award Winner, Beyond Treason (Joyce Riley , William Lewis) and Bagdad Rap (Arturo Cisneros) which received a 2004 best international documentary award at the NY International film festival. Kyne was proud to provide testimony to the Hamburg, Germany World Uranium Conference and was honored to be invited to Japan for the 3rd annual international conference to ban uranium weapons, in August, 2006.

3. Just a little. I'm happily married and I still could be persuaded to leave

to be with Dennis K. Yes, I know him pretty well, but not well enough. You know of course DK has lots of women that love him. Meant in a very kind way.

Many times in Crawford and DC.

Dennis and many other Vets need our support, I met and spent time with Doug Rokke long before I ever had the opportunity to meet Dennis.

The message though is the same. This is AGENT ORANGE ON STEROIDS!

2. Weapons of Mass Destruction, we do it t

Listen to what Doug Rokke has to say. Our military put him in charge of cleaning up DU, he tried with his team to do so. Most of his team is dead now, the rules he wrote have been ignored, he has been marginalized and "we the people" have let this happen. We the citizens of the US have turned Iraq into a nuclear wasteland and we let our "soldiers" live in this every day. In our silence, we are complicit, we are letting this happen.

We have a responsibility to our kids here in the US, we have a responsibility to all of Iraq, we have lots to do. We have so much to make right. I want to believe there are enough of me around that we can make a difference, I could be wrong, I hope not.

please try to make a difference? Please?

11. repug candidates want to leave the nuclear option....

...on the table in-regards to a pre-emptive strike on Iran. These assholes don't get it AT ALL!
I say clean up should go to the bastards who advocated and/or profited from the use of DU munitions.
I have often wondered why bush jr invested in a ranch down in Argentina. I wonder if he is concerned about the spread of depleted uranium oxide throughout the northern hemisphere.

I wonder: If our MSM wants to keep their heads buried in the sand on this topic what would happen if Iraqi citizens were to mail "Iraqi sand" to our MSM. There can't be any laws about mailing just plain ol ordinary sand is there? Nobody is breaking any current laws here are they? Does one need a permit or some-such to mail sand? If they started doing this, someone is bound to notice. One side would be screaming that DU Oxide laden sand is a bio-hazard while the other side will be shouting just as loud that DU-Oxide is not a hazard, in which case they can have sand shipped to their doorways... I'll bet a consensus on it's harmfulness happens in record time if that were done.

Please note: I said NOTHING about actually mailing sand with DU-Oxide contaminants in it. I suggest just plain Iraqi sand. Folks would figure out why quick enough, especially if there were some photos of wrecked tanks along with the sand. The story would get out in short order from this....

Dear Fox News: As a token of thanks for all you have done on the behalf of Iraq please accept our gift of this jar of authentic Iraqi sand. Think of it as a relic from a bad war gone wrong, sort of like a piece of the Berlin Wall. We collected it from around this old hulk of a tank. One our kids play on now days because the playgrounds are not so safe anymore.

Do that to a few news-desks and it will have the same affect as an M-80 in an anthill!

Remember...sand, just plain ol' ORDINARY sand. I may be unfamiliar with international laws or our own postal laws but I can not see where mailing ordinary sand can be illegal


Dear Chk,
Please get better.
Peace

6. I have over 140 articles and other references to depleted uranium bookmarked . . .

be happy to post them in groups of, say, 10 . . . would help establish a data base . . .

7. Why don't you start a thread in the Research Forum?

It's exactly what the forum was built for.
