ghhhhhost Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 so now that theres possible action being taken up by the ever concerned hillary clinton concerning depleted uranium and its effects on GI's in Iraq..r u still gona tell me that the stuff isnt bad for u??does this mean i'll have to stop putting it on my morning omelette?? damn!!...

cintron Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 like i said. you can sleep with a DU shell for 30 years with no effects. just dont get near one after its been fired. its not going to make you glow in the dark. It's the dust, uranium oxide, that's toxic.then again i doubt you go sniffing car exhaust, which is just as dangerous to breathe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghhhhhost Posted April 6 Author Report Share Posted April 6 so r u implying NATO just dropped cases of ammunition into serbia without discharging them? the people got sick because they mistook the shells for peanuts and cracked them open??where are the weapons inspectors ..i want UN weapons inspectors in washington and wherrever they produce these biological weapons of mass destruction.

So basically what your saying is every soldier that was in a tank and fired a shell will be exposed to depleted uranium. Hm.. Sounds safe to me.

cintron Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 Originally posted by jamiroguy1 Correction. These are classified as nuclear weapons, no? you ARE dumb arent you.No they are NOT nuclear weapons, they are NOT biological or Chemical weapons.They are classified as standard "dumb" munitions. It's not depleted uranium that is toxic. I will say this for the thousandth fucking time in hopes that you will read it and finally let it sink it.DEPLETED URANIUM IS NOT TOXIC.It is URANIUM OXIDE that is toxic. Uranium Oxide is created when a DU slug strikes armor at high speed and vaporizes the metal.The UO dust is very much like asbestos. It is NOT going to make you glow in the dark. It is NOT highly radioactive. It emits alpha particles which, if you remember physics, can be stopped by a sheet of paper. It is the DUST it creates on impact which is toxic. Again, it is very much like asbestos. It is an irritant and not something you want to ingest.Is this any different from ANY other form of munition? NOT REALLY. You do not want to ingest ANY form of metal dust or other byproducts of spent munitions. DU gets a bad rap becuase simply, that's what our tanks and aircraft use most.If We'd used any other form of tip for the shells, the effects would be similar.

Do you mind show me the sources where you got your information because the international depleted uraniun study team has found otherwise:DU is a highly toxic heavy metal with a radioactive half-life of four and one-half billion years. DU has accumulated in enormous quantities since the dawn of the nuclear age. Despite the name "Depleted" Uranium, DU has 60% the radioactivity of Natural Uranium, which is pure uranium.Another question, do you actually think that US soldiers in Iraq and Iraqi civilians aren't inhaling or have inhaled the radiactive dust left from du shells whether in Gulf War I or Gulf War II?

cintron Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 so you yank some quote off some website and then expect me to jump through hoops in refuting your obvious "truth"?fuck off.

You obviously can't argue the issue if you get pissed when someone asked you questions about it. It's ok to admit that depleted uranium is harmful to humans, fuck nut.

This post is fucking hilarious. Apparently, you totally ignore the fact that depleted uranium produces radioactive dust. Explain to me how the fuck this isn't toxic. Explain to me to how the small group of soldiers that were tested, tested positive for uranium exposure. I'm looking at this objectively but when soldiers are testing positve for uranium exposure your arguement means shit.Oh, and if you meant to say "the pot calling the kettle black" you're fucking retarded. Find one example, of where I'm avoiding the topic shit head? I always, stay on the topic of the thread.You fucking clowns keep saying that DU isn't harmful to humans but I've shown examples of how it is and there is quite a bit more out there. So who the fuck is ignoring the facts, jerkoff? Get a life why don't you? Fucking pentagon puppets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to know too, but jumping all over something because it has Uranium in the name is ridiculous. Im not even sure they used Depleted uranium in anything other than tank shells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
