"So everyone who dies in Iraq now is a consequence of the US invasion in 2003?" No that's not what I said, show where I said "everyone", but if for example they die of poisoning from depleted uranium tomorrow, then yes there deaths are a consequence of the invasion. I forgot to mention cluster bombs, the military brass don't even care if their use of cluster bombs kills their own soldiers, let alone Iraqi civilians.
"Two U.S. Marines were killed in separate incidents on March 27 and 28 after stepping on unexploded cluster munitions delivered by artillery in southern Iraq."
"The United States should not be using these weapons," said Steve Goose, executive director of the Arms Division of Human Rights Watch. "Iraqi civilians will be paying the price with their lives and limbs for many years."

Scorched earth.
the policy in warfare of removing or destroying everything that might be useful to an invading enemy, esp by fire.
What happened in Iraq is close enough to scorched earth policy for me. You still haven't watched that video I posted have you ?
So I'm way off with gassing. OK so do some research yourself, post it up here for everyone to learn about Saddam Hussein gassings.
How would I know exactly how much depleted uranium was dropped on Iraq ?. How about you deny that it was dropped . https://www.mintpressnews.com/depleted-uranium-iraq-wars-legacy-cancer/193338/
Well there you go , I guess you are wrong.
About 1200 tonnes of ammunition were dropped on Iraq during the Gulf Wars of 1991 and 2003. As a result, contamination occurred in more than 350 sites in Iraq. Currently, Iraqis are facing about 140,000 cases of cancer, with 7000 to 8000 new ones registered each year. In Baghdad cancer incidences per 100,000 population have increased, just as they have also increased in Basra. The overall incidence of breast and lung cancer, Leukaemia and Lymphoma, has doubled even tripled. The situation in Mosul city is similar to other regions. Before the Gulf Wars Mosul had a higher rate of cancer, but the rate of cancer has further increased since the Gulf Wars.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23729095
The amount of devastation caused by the Depleted Uranium (DU) weaponry used against Iraq since the Gulf War is historically unprecedented in modern warfare and its effects on the environment and human population are catastrophic.https://ejatlas.org/conflict/sadr-city-radioactive-waste-iraq
