How Afghanistan led to war in The Hague: Depleted uranium is WMD
How Afghanistan led to war in The Hague
If Dutch troops go to Afghanistan, junior coalition party D66 may drag its ministers out of the Dutch government, causing it to collapse. We examine the latest political poker game in The Hague.
The long-running indecision about dispatching 1,200 troops to the south of Afghanistan (FPF: and their certain radiation and possible death) is turning into a political poker game, with the fate of the Dutch government at stake. All sides seem prepared to let the crisis go down to the wire and no one is about to fold.
"It is a travesty for the political system that foreign countries are going to tell the Netherlands what our country should do," said Labour Party (PvdA) deputy Bert Koenders on 11 January.
FPF: Koenders is one of the few with some criticism against the dutch partaking and guilt of all war crimes of the neocons. The opposition SP party is trying to get DU into the debate.
Koenders was voicing the anger felt among many MPs about what they see as undue international pressure being put on the Netherlands to join the US-led effort against the Taliban in Uruzgan Province in the south of Afghanistan.
Nato has committed itself to providing a total of 6,000 troops to the mission, with or without Dutch involvement. The fact Dutchman Jaap de Hoop Scheffer is head of Nato makes the indecision all the more uncomfortable for the Dutch government.-

Dutchman JAAP DE HOOP SCHEFFER is according to all people able to think one of the most treacherous despicable nitwit criminals on earth. He deserves life time in jail with hard labor for his criminal collaboration making the slaughter of millions possible.
JAAP DE HOOP SCHEFFER MUST BE SEEN AND TREATED AS NATO'S WAR CRIMINAL # 1
NATO AND THE MANAGERS OF THE NETHERLANDS OPENLY SUPPORT THE RADIATION AND SLAUGHTER BY THE NEOCON'S WARMACHINE AND THEIR GLOBAL GENOCIDES. BUT THEY ARE FOMENTING REVENGE.

DEPLETED URANIUM IS WMD
Leuren Moret
My grandfather, U.S. Army Col. Edwin Joseph McAllister, was born in Battle Creek in 1895. He does not know that his first grandchild is an international expert on depleted uranium.
I have worked in two U.S. nuclear weapons laboratories, and in 1991 I became a whistleblower at the Livermore lab. Depleted uranium is very, very, very nasty stuff:
* Depleted uranium (DU) weaponry meets the definition of weapon of mass destruction in two out of three categories under U.S. Federal Code Title 50 Chapter 40 Section 2302.
* DU weaponry violates all international treaties and agreements, Hague and Geneva war conventions, the 1925 Geneva gas protocol, U.S. laws and U.S. military law.
* Since 1991, the U.S. has released the radioactive atomicity equivalent of at least 400,000 Nagasaki bombs into the global atmosphere. That is 10 times the amount released during atmospheric testing which was the equivalent of 40,000 Hiroshima bombs. The U.S. has permanently contaminated the global atmosphere with radioactive pollution having a half-life of 2.5 billion years.
* The U.S. has illegally conducted four nuclear wars in Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and twice in Iraq since 1991, calling DU "conventional" weapons when in fact they are nuclear weapons.
* DU on the battlefield has three effects on living systems: it is a heavy metal "chemical" poison, a "radioactive" poison and has a "particulate" effect due to the very tiny size of the particles that are 0.1 microns and smaller.
* The blueprint for DU weaponry is a 1943 Manhattan Project memo to Gen. L. Groves that recommended development of radioactive materials as poison gas weapons - dirty bombs, dirty missiles and dirty bullets.
* DU weapons are very effective kinetic energy penetrators, but even more effective bioweapons since uranium has a strong chemical affinity for phosphate structures concentrated in DNA.
* DU is the Trojan Horse of nuclear war - it keeps giving and keeps killing. There is no way to clean it up, and no way to turn it off because it continues to decay into other radioactive isotopes in over 20 steps.
* Terry Jemison at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs stated in August 2004 that over 518,000 Gulf-era veterans (14-year period) are now on medical disability, and that 7,039 were wounded on the battlefield in that same period. Over 500,000 U.S. veterans are homeless.
* In some studies of soldiers who had normal babies before the war, 67 percent of the post-war babies are born with severe birth defects - missing brains, eyes, organs, legs and arms, and blood diseases.
* In southern Iraq, scientists are reporting five times higher levels of gamma radiation in the air, which increases the radioactive body burden daily of inhabitants. In fact, Iraq, Yugoslavia and Afghanistan are uninhabitable.
* Cancer starts with one alpha particle under the right conditions. One gram of DU is the size of a period in this sentence and releases 12,000 alpha particles per second.
Before my grandfather died, he told me that his generation had made a mess of this planet. I wonder what he would say to me now I would tell him to see "Beyond Treason" (www.beyondtreason.com), a new documentary about the history of treason by the U.S. government against our own troops: Atomic veterans, MK-Ultra, Agent Orange and DU.
After Vietnam, Henry Kissinger said, "Military men are just dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy. . ."
(from Chapter 5 in the "Final Days" by Woodward and Bernstein).
