Depleted Uranium Is A War Crime

[U.S. Representative, Jim McDermott:]

"Depleted Uranium is used on the ends of bullets

and on the ends of shells because it is so hard (that)

almost any armament is vulnerable to something that is tipped with Depleted Uranium."

In the cities and towns of Afghanistan

In the heart of the Balkans - the heart of Iraq

Not your Grandfather's style of deadly munitions

It's silent and deadly years after the mission

Depleted uranium is a war crime

Depleted uranium is a war crime

Gonna cut through their armor, then cut through your lungs

If you make it home alive you'll still die young

A greedy gang of liars, yeah we've seen it all before

A moneymaking scheme led by war-profiteering w****s

Depleted uranium is a war crime

Depleted uranium is a war crime

[U.S. Representative, Jim McDermott:]

"They were throwing it away until they figured out they could use it for armament."

Half Life - 4.5 Billion

Half Life - You'll waste away

We've heard their lies before and we know they're lying again

Feels like a déjà vu of Agent Orange and Vietnam

Weaponry so sadistic it is hard to comprehend

War profits surge with every breath by Uncle Sam

Depleted uranium is a war crime

Depleted uranium is a war crime

Depleted uranium is a war crime

[U.S. Representative, Jim McDermott:]

"We went to a hospital in Southern Iraq,

and a woman was there with a very deformed child and

her husband had been in the Iraqi Army and had been

in the battles in Southern Iraq and

came home and they produced a baby with very severe

malformations… Both the Leukemia rates in children and

malformations at birth had increased by 600%

and it was clearly an epidemic where all this

DU had been dumped… It becomes a dust that can be

inhaled and infect the blood stream and the rest

of the body and it was the opinion of the

doctors there that this was caused by depleted uranium…

They simply saw this as being a direct result of the

war by United States."

Half Life - 4.5 Billion

Half Life - We waste away

Half Life - We waste away

Half Life - 4.5 Billion

Half Life - We waste away

Half Life - 4.5 Billion

Half Life - We waste away

[U.S. Representative, Jim McDermott:]

"The doctor said,

'Women (in Iraq) at the time of birth don't ask if

it's a boy or a girl, they ask: Is it normal?' …

The military denies first, and then after the evidence

builds to the point where they can no longer deny,

then they do the research. That's what happened in the

Vietnam era around Agent Orange and I suspect and

I'm worried that that's what will happen this time."
