    George Lakoff, guru of "reframing." Lakoff suggested relabeling the issue: "radioactive weaponry". The name "depleted uranium" was carefully selected to imply harmlessness. "Radioactive weaponry" raises a red flag.
    (Oklahoma City, Red State of Delusion) The term "Depleted Uranium" is misleading, on purpose. So-called "Depleted uranium" results from making hydrogen bombs. The CIA tries to deceive us all, all the time. They have succeeded for 55 years. George Lakoff blows the lid off (…)

    Dedication for the year 2120. A Dedication in 2120 might say: Dedicated to the memory of the Iraqi people. Many people believe Iraq was the birthplace of civilization some 5,000 years ago. Iraq was destroyed and radioactively contaminated in an early 21st Century Oil War by a fascist world power, now extinguished. Dedication to the Iraqi People in 2005. Iraq is uninhabitable. The Wars in Central Asia all were nuclear wars fought with radiation dispersing American weapons. None of (…)

    Iraqi doctors are making renewed efforts to bring to the world’s attention the growth in birth deformities and cancer rates among the country’s children. The medical crisis is being directly blamed on the widespread use of depleted uranium (DU) munitions by the US and British forces in southern Iraq during the 1991 Gulf War, and the even greater use of DU during the 2003 invasion.

    "I’m horrified. The people out there - the Iraqis, the media and the troops - risk the most appalling ill health. And the radiation from depleted uranium can travel literally anywhere.

Radiation from Chernobyl reached Wales and in Britain you sometimes get red dust from the Sahara on your car."
    The speaker is not some alarmist doomsayer. He is Dr. Chris Busby, the British (…)
