Desert Storm was only a 100 hour war. After<br />
Desert Storm, an estimated 425,000 veterans<br />
have reported multiple illnesses <strong>and</strong> medical<br />
problems related to Gulf War Syndrome, <strong>and</strong><br />
over <strong>11</strong>,000 U.S. troops have died from<br />
mysteriously-caused illnesses <strong>and</strong> cancers s<strong>in</strong>ce<br />

of Defense <strong>and</strong> the U.S. Veteran’s Adm<strong>in</strong>istration cont<strong>in</strong>ues to deny a l<strong>in</strong>kage <strong>and</strong><br />

a conflict that only lasted 100 hours on the ground that leaves this many<br />
casualties <strong>and</strong> medical anomalies?<br />
<strong>The</strong> grossly mislead<strong>in</strong>g <strong>and</strong> misnamed 'depleted' uranium<br />
is the by product left beh<strong>in</strong>d after enriched uranium is<br />
separated from natural uranium <strong>in</strong> order to produce fuel<br />
for nuclear reactors. Dur<strong>in</strong>g this process, the fissionable<br />
isotope uranium-235 is separated from uranium. <strong>The</strong><br />
rema<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g uranium, which is 99.8% uranium-238, is<br />
mislead<strong>in</strong>gly called 'depleted uranium'. 126 While the term<br />
'depleted' implies it isn't particularly dangerous, <strong>in</strong> fact,<br />
this waste product of the nuclear <strong>in</strong>dustry is 'conveniently'<br />
disposed of by produc<strong>in</strong>g deadly weapons. Depleted uranium is chemically toxic.<br />
It is an extremely dense, hard metal, <strong>and</strong> can cause chemical poison<strong>in</strong>g to the<br />
body <strong>in</strong> the same way as can lead or any other heavy metal. However, depleted<br />
uranium is also radiologically hazardous, as it spontaneously burns on impact,<br />

even through protective gas masks. <strong>The</strong>se uranium oxide particles emit all types<br />
of radiation, alpha, beta <strong>and</strong> gamma, <strong>and</strong> can be carried <strong>in</strong> the air over long<br />
distances through the vast s<strong>and</strong>storms that occur <strong>in</strong> Iraq <strong>and</strong> the Middle East.<br />
Depleted uranium has a half life of 4.5 billion years, <strong>and</strong> the presence of depleted<br />
uranium ceramic aerosols can pose a long term threat to human health <strong>and</strong> the
