who is really behind the syrian war? , page-4

If the US really cared about chemical weapons victims they would be giving assistance to the recently stated 3 million plus Vietnamese born with congenital defects as a result of the spraying of agent orange during the war, whose long suffering parents are now dwindling in numbers leaving the burden of care on their healthy children and other relatives. Laos and Cambodia were also sprayed with agent orange, so no doubt others seriously affected there too.

If they really cared they would not have used white phosphorus and depleted uranium in Iraq, in particular Fallujah, which now suffers epidemic numbers of seriously deformed children, cancer sufferers and stillborn babies. Again left to cope without US support.

" A similar legacy was left by the deployment of white phosphorous and depleted uranium following the US-led 2003 invasion of Iraq.

Busby said that while the genotoxic effects of white phosphorous were debatable, the deadliness of depleted uranium was beyond question.

“All of the genetic damage effects that we see in Iraq, in my opinion, were caused by… depleted uranium weapons. And also [non]-depleted uranium weapons of a new type. And these are really terrible weapons. These are weapons whic have absolutely destroyed the genetic integrity of the population of Iraq,” he said.

The people of Fallujah, where some of the most intense fighting during the Iraq war took place, have since suffered a veritable health crisis.

Four studies on the health crisis in the city were published in 2012. Busby, an author and co-author of two of them, described Fallujah as having "the highest rate of genetic damage in any population ever studied.""
