Friends, the extracts below came from an article about Iraq written by John Pilger and published today by ICH. Its message is clear.
The so-called ‘Goodies’ are in fact, the ‘Baddies’ and both of them (Britain and America) should be hauled up to front the ICC and tried and severely punished for war crimes!
“An internationally respected cancer specialist at the Sadr Teaching Hospital in Basra, Dr. Ali told me that in 1999, and today his warning is irrefutable. “Before the Gulf war,” he said, “we had two or three cancer patients a month. Now we have 30 to 35 dying every month. Our studies indicate that 40 to 48 per cent of the population in this area will get cancer: in five years’ time to begin with, then long after. That’s almost half the population. Most of my own family have it, and we have no history of the disease. It is like Chernobyl here; the genetic effects are new to us; the mushrooms grow huge; even the grapes in my garden have mutated and can’t be eaten.”
“Among the doctors I interviewed, there was little doubt that depleted uranium shells used by the Americans and British in the Gulf War were the cause. A US military physicist assigned to clean up the Gulf War battlefield across the border in Kuwait said, “Each round fired by an A-10 Warhog attack aircraft carried over 4,500 grams of solid uranium. Well over 300 tons of DU was used. It was a form of nuclear warfare.“
Today, a WHO report, the result on a landmark study conducted jointly with the Iraqi Ministry of Health has been “delayed”. Covering 10,800 households, it contains “damning evidence”, says a ministry official and, according to one of its researchers, remains “top secret”. The report says that birth defects have risen to a “crisis” right across Iraqi society where DU and other toxic heavy metals were used by the US and Britain.”
The irony is that front-line British and American soldiers are now experiencing cancers and so are their children. Karma may be working to punish the guilty and soldiers who have cancer should be able to sue their respective Governments for putting them in jeopardy.
As well as being punished for deliberate war crimes both nations should be sued by Iraq and have to pay compensation for the disabilities and deformation caused by the weapons they used and they should be forced to clean up Iraq (and any other theater of war they have been involved in) and leave it free of radio-activity.
The world cannot allow warmongering nations to use whatever weapons they want any longer. The world must oppose Britain and the U.S. and bring to an end this immoral, ‘anything goes on the battlefield’, attitude which both nations impose upon the rest of the world.
P.S. This was published on my blog 'Dangerous Creation. com' and was accompanied by photographs of the terrible deformities created by depleted uranium.
