Depleted Uranium - Poisoning U.S. Troops And The Planet

Free Internet Press - April 26, 2007

Lori Brim cradled her son in her arms for three months before he died at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington.

Dustin Brim, a 22-year-old Army specialist had collapsed three years ago in Iraq from a very aggressive cancer that attacked his kidney, caused a mass to grow over his esophagus and collapsed a lung.

The problems she saw during her time at Walter Reed, including her son screaming in pain while doctors argued over medications, had nothing to do with mold and shabby conditions documented in recent news reports. What this mother saw was an unexplainable illness consuming her son.

And what she has learned since her son's death is that his is not an isolated case.

Lori Brim has joined other parents, hundreds of other sick soldiers, legislators, research scientists and environmental activists who say the cause of their problems results from exposure to depleted uranium, a radioactive metal used in the manufacture of U.S. tank armor and weapon casings.

Health and environmental effects of depleted uranium are at the heart of scientific studies, a lawsuit in the New York courts and legislative bills in more than a dozen states (although not in Florida).

News stories claiming negative signs of depleted uranium's impact, including death and birth defects, are surfacing from Australia to England to the Far East. The controversy rages within government bodies and underlies the theme of TV shows like a recent episode of the medical series "House."

While the military continues to deny the connection of depleted uranium to sicknesses plaguing returning servicemen and women, a newly mandated study stemming from legislation signed by President Bush in October is just getting under way.

so it actually happening... it's really sad to be in the army today. At least as a civilian we are only lied to, not killed.

It's not the first time things like this have happened.
During Nam there was agent Orange and it was covered up.
From the looks of it, DU appears much more insidious than agent Orange....:(

I have a buddy that was affected by it. Very sad story. You don't want to know what he found when opening the hatch on tanks killed by friendly fire in gulf I. Think jello.

btw, that story you posted was gruesome. very mush so. We should all worry. And If I was an Iraqi, I couldn't leave the country soon enough.

Sadly when some troops came back they didn't realize they were already contaminated which led to this:

Ya know it is funny. For someone who was spitting on the troops as they returned you seen to show compassion now. LBJ carried out Kennedy's plan and you hated the soldiers. Nixon brought the home and you hated Nixon for that. You have no room for compassion with all your hate.

You're taking a big stretch with your interpretation of history.

Try as you like you will still seem insane to a sane person. You need to go back to rehab.

Kennedy had no intention of escalating the situation in Vietnam to the point of war it eventually became. In 1963 the U.S. forces in Vietnam primarily consisted of military advisors. The escalation began after LBJ was sworn in.

I wouldn't hold too much stock into what the CIA was doing at the time, Kennedy certainly didn't. Since the Bay of Pigs, the CIA operated autonomously from the Kennedy administration as his disdain for the organization kept them on the outside looking in.

...and for this reason many have suggested the CIA may have played a role in the JFK assassination...

If not the assassination, at least the cover up after the fact.

The CIA and the Mob were working together at the time on "Operation Mongoose" which was a joint effort with a goal to assissinate Castro. The Kennedy administration knew nothing of the operation and it's not a big stretch to imagine the "target" was changed in November '63.

Probably was a Mob hit. The mob was itching to get back all their Casinos that Castro took away from them. When the Mob saw that it looked like JFK wasn't going to remove Castro as the CIA promised them, they probably decided to remove JFK.
