Oh goodness, they sanctioned the coup. Wow. Damning stuff there dude.

In your first link, the NY Times sanctioned it too. Enemies everywhere?

DU: I found another reference that said 1 g of U-238 = 12,420 Bq. The next question is, how much DU are you likely to have, and for how long? I'm gonna go ahead and guess that if you have a kilogram of it (2.2 lbs), you're not storing it under your pillow.

Meanwhile This guy has 15 BB-sized pieces of DU shrap IN his body, and after 11 years so far he's OK. I know, radiation affects people differently, but this stuff is IN him.

That stupid and racist comment certainly WAS stupid and racist, but it was the "progressive community's" comment, not mine. THEY say that as an argument against the possibility of Democracy working in Iraq. I say they're full of crap, and I'm happy to see you and I agree on that.
