13129 malformed children have been born in Iraq in the last five years. Their deformities have been caused by American Depleted Uranium munitions used in the American led 1991 "Desert Storm" war with Irak launched after Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait. The war saw heavy use of depleted uranium rounds by American and British forces and was followed by a punitive sanctions regime enforced by the United Nations primarily at America’s behest. The sanctions included preventing Irak from importing drugs for the treatment of cancers and birth defects. The current war on Irak was launched on the pretext that Irak was failing to comply with sanctions and had weapons of mass destruction.
Lesley Stahl on U.S. sanctions against Iraq: We have heard that a half million children have died. I mean, that’s more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: I think this is a very hard choice, but the price–we think the price is worth it.

Does "peace" mean that your aunt does not weep as she talks of how the young couples she serves ask her after the X-Ray
Well is it a child or is it a monster?
And how she curses the Americans who littered our land with Uranium munitions and then denied us the cancer drugs. Because we needed to be,
contained.
We sand niggers who had been abandoned to the tyrant you had supported for years needed to be,
contained.

 According to the green zone government Ministry of Health the numbers of maimed children born with defects in Irak after the United States used over 940 thousand depleted uranium rounds in the war with Iraq in 1991 in the last 5 years is 13129.
The report from Al Melaf gives the statistics from a Ministry of Health briefing on the number of children born with birth defects since 2001 as 13129 in total.
The number of deformed children born last year was more than 1919.
Ninewa (Nineveh) province, has the highest number of children born maimed as 411.
Baghdad is next with 372 children born distorted.
Basra has seen the birth of 300 distorted children .
Between 30 to 40 children per month are born with defects attributed to their mothers inhalation of radioactive dust from depleted uranium rounds. The American army used depleted uranium during the last war and this was confirmed by a German team who visited Irak recently and were able to obtain a missile which proved after checking that the American forces used depleted uranium.
Editor’s note:
The full text of the report from Al Melaf contains interviews with parents and accounts their children’s deaths. I haven’t had the time to translate them. They can be found here.
Readers will recall that Albright was Secretary of State (Foreign Minister) under President Clinton. They may also recall that current American Senator and presidential candidate Senator Hilary Clinton was a willing participant in the Clinton "two for the price of one." electioneering which helped bring her husband to the White House.
I have been unable to find any expression of concern by Senator Clinton either for the fate of the children affected by DU or the sanctions regime which denied cancer and other drugs to treat those children or even any expression of concern about the health of American soldiers in that war affected by DU dust. I did however find plenty of coverage of her remarks about how she would not withdraw American troops from Irak.
Senator Clinton’s campaign recently launched an campaign advertisement in which her concern for ex-President Clinton’s health was highlighted.
A video report Paying The Price: Killing The Children Of Iraq on this topic can be viewed below the link will open in a new window. The report lasts 1 hr 15 min 4 sec the film was made before America launched the current war on Irak.

| Comment pos ted: by fedayeen on 28 Jun 2007 - 12:26 | Dear Mark, I am extremely glad to find this subject matter from you.
I get in ferocious rage when I hear crimes being committed against children espe cially Muslim Arab/Asian/African children. This crimes are being committed by ju deochristian women, two of the most evil, vile barbaric freaking bitches; Albrig ht And rice both as ugly as as this horrific ideology and you have rightly menti oned:
Source: "We Think the Price Is Worth It" – fucking Albright
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright: I think this is a very hard choice, but t he price–we think the price is worth it.
Surely that is not Secretary of State but MoSSad’s fucking zionazi bitch.
& the Abortionist of Middle East, who did not stop the USSraeli bombs last year in Lebanon – the US Gestapo whore – RICE
To the above list add the Lord Slaughterer of Sedgefield, the sick minds of the Quartet have chosen as an “envoy”. He did not have enough children killed last s ummer + the genocide sanctions + the terrorist attack on OUR people of Irak, Afg hanistan, Somalia, Lebanon, Palestine so he is now moving in as the ex-Royal but present butcher in the psychopathic bloody brit policy of balfours and the sykeses.
I read yesterday that Ireland has “Honoured” this scumbag thug and mass murderer , who delights in killing children with a department in Liverpool University.
Are you from this Ireland, Mark? If so educate your people with harrowing facts of blairs “brilliant performance in Middle East” complete with photograph and wh ile you are it tell them to measure the air quality. Blair’s brilliant performan ce has reached UK and nature isn’t going to be stopped by the devil incarnate bl airstein. I read recently that one in three European women suffer from thyroid malfunction and that will create fertility problems among others.
TO ALL WHO SPPORTED blairsteins EVIL IDEOLOGY – YOU REEP WHAT YOU SOW
500,000+ of our IRAKI ANGELS that you killed will have their justice – THE HIGHE R JUSTICE, so do you like your evil, vile nefarious, perfidious ideology. May yo u suffer 1000 and one times more hells and brutish living conditions than what y ou have subjected to our Ummah.
This is done by UN of the grotesque vile barbaric unicef “in-famous”

Look, we've known for decades of the dangers of radio-active
weaponry. It's just TV and Radio execs claim no concern to
save our lives over their profit margins. WTO's Rapocholi claims
you can eat depleted uranium by the poundful, and cowardly DYING
soldiers readily agree. It's time we, as humanity, stood up
against these monsters, with our unenforced laws.
We can really be something greater, while a murderous bushite
thief, a LIAR, can hardly read or write Liberty without
flinching from self contempt.
Why do YOU except no evidence to
convince yourself who YOU'LL except to be MURDERED in YOUR
pirated 'American' name?
"Al-Qaida" = "General Mahmoud Ahmad" = "bush's ungodly partners in crime"
Jesus man, do I truly hate these zionist nazi thieving LIARS
on our magic TV shows who con our kids to die as bad guys.
How about You?
These naked LIAR enemies who bank to thieve more from Iraq,
Afghanistan and America, must be brought down by Humanity's
ultimate triumph over tyranny through Law. A just law, where
those accused without any evidence are Innocent, and WORTHY
yOur defenses.
Look, the Iraq war had no TRUE justification. Saddam didn't violate 1441.
CBC, CNN, and FOXnews just refused all calls, while informing US,
we all believe Saddam has WMD. While those, such as myself, declared
(as recorded by usenet) nothing of the sort. We need a media working for our int erests, that honestly takes our calls, but a corporate for pro... blahblahblah.
groups.google.ca/group/aus.politics/msg/c107c6e46d72af03?&hl=en
Look, I'm sure we all can agree torture warrants serious
Justice. We know innocent people are victimized by those
that LIE they have a justification for it. Well, I KNOW,
WE KNOW, that they don't. Be a friend, if not a lawless
enemy of Man.
Neocon Soldier
Bushites who war as the neocon enemies, war for the 911
perpetrators to escape American Justice. that is why
I, as of GOD, cheer to hear the deaths of these pro
torture, pro theft, pro Satanic enemies of Man. They
confess freely to targeting INNOCENT People for murder.
We need real free world leadership that requires US to be
smart enough to recognize we. Check out Johnny Wizard man.
I can only encourage you to see, neocons are not Jews, but as Revelations insist , demonic liars who steal religion from God.
Don't be cowardly dying as innocent victim. Support 'forbidden'
open dialog on America's Coast to Coast radio network.

| Comment by رئيس الحقيقة - 11 Apr 2009 - 01:30 [USER NOT REGISTERED] | Your reporting is dubious at best. The World Health Organization says:
DU...is weakly radioactive and a radiation dose from it would be about 60% of th at from purified natural uranium with the same mass.
Under most circumstances, use of DU will make a negligible contribution to the o verall natural background levels of uranium in the environment. Probably the gre atest potential for DU exposure will follow conflict where DU munitions are used .
A recent UNEP report giving field measurements taken around selected impact site s in Kosovo indicates that contamination by DU in the environment was localized to a few tens of metres around impact sites. Contamination by DU dusts of local vegetation and water supplies was found to be extremely low. Thus, the probabili ty of significant exposure to local populations was considered to be very low.
Average annual intakes of uranium by adults are estimated to be about 0.5mg (500 μg) from ingestion of food and water and 0.6 μg from breathing air.
< br>
Ingestion of small amounts of DU contaminated soil by small children may occur w hile playing.
Contact exposure of DU through the skin is normally very low and unimportant.
About 98% of uranium entering the body via ingestion is not absorbed, but is eli minated via the faeces. Typical gut absorption rates for uranium in food and wat er are about 2% for soluble and about 0.2% for insoluble uranium compounds.
Of the uranium that is absorbed into the blood, approximately 70% will be filter ed by the kidney and excreted in the urine within 24 hours; this amount increase s to 90% within a few days.
No reproductive or developmental effects have been reported in humans.
