Ret. Lt. Gen. says a dumb thing on Wash. Journal |
|
Ret. Lt. Gen. Robert Gard was at the table with Frank creep Gaffney.
they were discussing which countries had nukes; what countries should have nukes; which countries should not, etc.
and it was said that since the 1968 nuke agreement the US had not used nukes.
but, but, said a caller. what about depleted uranium in Iraq? the Ret. Lt. Gen. said:
oh we didn't explode anything nuke in Iraq. he said depleted uranium doesn't hurt you if it gets on your skin or clothing, only if you inhale it.
since DU is on the missiles, bombs, it does explode! it is all over Iraq, blowing about, causing cancers, birth defects, etc., etc.
criminals one and all.

1. Why did he use the qualifier "since 1968"? |
|
Is he implying that the US used nukes sometime between 1945 and 1968?
Given the proclivity of "battle field" nukes could we actually have used a low yield "bunker buster" at some point during that period?

5. Did he happen to mention how it helps keep the ground water fresh as well? |
|
Did he happen to bring up the fact that poisoning the water in a desert is a crime against nature as well as a crime against humanity?
