Professor Katsuma Yagasaki of the Faculty of Science of the Ryukyus University in Okinawa had calculated that 800 tons of DU to be the atomicity equivalent to 83 thousands Nagasaki bombs. With each round fired by an Abrams tank containing over 4,500 grams of solid uranium it was estimated the amount of DU used in Iraq is equivalent to 250 thousands Nagasaki bombs.

Het een cheap excuus noemen weerlegt het nog niet.

Over die quote, die geeft wel een compleet verkeerd beeld van de situatie. Als je die quote zou lezen zonder enige achtergrondinfo, zouden er in Irak en in Afghanistan samen nog geen dozijn mensen meer in leven zijn.

Het gaat hier over verarmd uranium. De straling is veel minder dan 'gewoon' verrijkt uranium. De US is nu trouwens aan het werken aan stralingsvrije verarmd uranium munitie.

Laten we ook niet vergeten dat omdat de straling kleiner is, de verspreiding van de straling ook veel minder is.

Dr. Asaf Durakovic, 64, is a retired U.S. Army colonel and the former head of nuclear medicine at a veterans' hospital in Wilmington, Delaware. Dr. Durakovic reports finding D.U. in the urine of 18 out of 30 Desert Storm veterans, sometimes up to a decade after they were exposed, and in his view D.U. fragments are both a significant cause of Gulf War syndrome and a hazard to civilians for an indefinite period of time. He says that when he began to voice these fears inside the military he was first warned, then fired: he now operates from Toronto, Canada, at the independent Uranium Medical Research Centre.

Yet another Pentagon-funded study suggested that D.U. might have effects on unborn children. After finding that pregnant rats transmitted D.U. to their offspring through the placenta, the study concluded: "Fetal exposure to uranium during critical prenatal development may adversely impact the future behavioral and neurological development of offspring." In September 2004, the New York Daily News reported that Gerard Darren Matthew, who had served in Iraq with the 719th Transportation Company, which is based in Harlem, had tested positive for D.U. after suffering migraines, fatigue, and a burning sensation when urinating. Following his return, his wife became pregnant, and their daughter, Victoria Claudette, was born missing three fingers.

At first, Terry merely had the usual headaches, body pain, oozing rash, and other symptoms. But later he began to suffer from another symptom which afflicts some of those exposed to D.U.: burning semen. "If he leaked a little lubrication from his penis, it would feel like sunburn on your skin. If you got to the point where you did have intercourse, you were up and out of that bed so fast-it actually causes vaginal blisters that burst and bleed." Terry's medical records support her description. In England, Malcolm Hooper, professor emeritus of medicinal chemistry at the University of Sunderland, is aware of 4,000 such cases. He hypothesizes that the presence of D.U. may be associated with the transformation of semen into a caustic alkali.

"It hurt [Terry] too. He said it was like forcing it through barbed wire," Riordon says. "It seemed to burn through condoms; if he got any on his thighs or his testicles, he was in hell." In a last, desperate attempt to save their sex life, says Riordon, "I used to fill condoms with frozen peas and insert them [after sex] with a lubricant." That, she says, made her pain just about bearable. Perhaps inevitably, he became impotent. "And that was like our last little intimacy gone."

By late 1995, Terry was seriously deteriorating. Susan shows me her journal-she titled it "The Twilight Zone"-and his medical record. It makes harrowing reading. He lost his fine motor control to the point where he could not button his shirt or zip his fly. While walking, he would fall without warning. At night, he shook so violently that the bed would move across the floor. He became unpredictably violent: one terrible day in 1997 he attacked their 16-year-old son and started choking him. By the time armed police arrived to pull him off, the boy's bottom lip had turned blue. After such rages, he would fall into a deep sleep for as long as 24 hours, and awake with no memory of what had happened. That year, Terry and Susan stopped sleeping in the same bedroom. Then "he began to barricade himself in his room for days, surviving on granola bars and cartons of juice."

As he went downhill, Terry was assessed as completely disabled, but there was no diagnosis as to why. His records contain references to "somatization disorder," post-traumatic stress, and depression. In 1995 the army doctors even suggested that he had become ill only after reading of Gulf War syndrome. Through 1998 and 1999, he began to lose all cognitive functions and was sometimes lucid for just a few hours each week.

Even after he died, on April 29, 1999, Terry's Canadian doctors remained unable to explain his illness. "This patient has a history [of] 'Gulf War Syndrome' with multiple motor, sensory and emotional problems," the autopsy report by pathologist Dr. B. Jollymore, of Yarmouth, begins. "During extensive investigation, no definitive diagnosis has been determined.... Essentially it appears that this gentleman remains an enigma in death as he was in life."

The British estimate assumed that the only radioactive ingredient in the bombs dropped on Iraq was depleted uranium. It wasn't. A new study of the materials inside these weapons describes them as a "nuclear cocktail," containing a mix of radioactive elements, including plutonium and the highly radioactive isotope uranium-236. These elements are 100,000 times more dangerous than depleted uranium.

But to measure the effect of D.U. as a whole-body radiation dose is meaningless, Asaf Durakovic says, because the dose from D.U. is intensely concentrated in the cells around a mote of dust. The alpha particles D.U. emits-high-energy clumps of protons and neutrons-are harmless outside the body, because they cannot pass through skin. Inside tissue, however, they wreak a havoc analogous to that of a penetrating shell against an enemy tank, bombarding cell nuclei, breaking chains of DNA, damaging fragile genes. Marcelo Valdes, a physicist and computer scientist who is president of Dr. Durakovic's research institute, says the cells around a D.U. particle 2.5 microns in diameter will receive a maximum annual radiation dose of 16 rads. If every pocket of tissue in the body were to absorb that amount of radiation, the total level would reach seven trillion rads-millions of times the lethal dosage.

Inderdaad de hamvraag. Omdat de Me-262 omwille van Hitler's obsessie met lichte bommenwerpers niet als jager ingezet mocht worden, maar ontwikkeld moest worden als blitzbomber, kon dit toestel pas ingezet worden toen het te laat was op het luchtoverwicht in het westen terug te winnen.

Inderdaad, puur voor trage bommenwerpers. Maar laat dat nu juist het wapen zijn waarmee de geallieerden de Duitse steden, industrie en transportatiesystemen mee platgooiden.

Aan het Russische front zou dit ook een positief effecht gehad kunnen hebben. De Me-262 had daar van geringe waarde geweest (aangezien de Duitsers door meer met snelle aanvalsvliegtuigen te doen hadden ipv zwaren en middelzware bommenwerpers), maar door de Me-262 in te zetten in het westen kwamen er honderden, zoniet duizenden conventionele propellorvliegtuigen vrij voor aan het oostfront.

Iran's president says concerns over nuclear proliferation 'a big lie' 14 minutes ago



JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) - Iran's president dismissed western concerns over its nuclear program as "a big lie" Wednesday, one day after key UN Security Council members agreed to present Tehran with a choice of incentives or sanctions in deciding whether to suspend uranium enrichment.


President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who was in Indonesia for a three-day state visit, told reporters in Jakarta that Iran will "absolutely not back out" of defending its right to pursue new technology, accusing the United States and other western countries of monopolizing the nuclear technology market to secure profits while engaging in non-peaceful proliferation.


"They pretend that they are concerned about the nature of the nuclear program of the Islamic republic of Iran," he said after meeting with Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. "This is a big lie."


Meanwhile, in a letter to Time magazine published on its website, a representative of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei offered new options for solving the impasse with the United States and its allies.


Hassan Rohani, Iran's former top nuclear negotiator, said Tehran would consider ratifying an International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) protocol that provides for intrusive and snap inspections and would also address the question of preventing a pullout from the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.


The current Iranian negotiator, Ali Larijani, said Tuesday that Tehran had no intention of withdrawing from the treaty and promised to co-operate if the UN atomic watchdog agency, rather than the Security Council, dealt with the issue of its nuclear program.


Iran ended all voluntary co-operation with the IAEA in February, including allowing snap inspections of its nuclear facilities.


At a meeting Tuesday, representatives of the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany agreed to tell Iran the possible consequences of its refusal to halt its enrichment program and the benefits if it abandons it.


The move will delay a U.S.-backed draft UN resolution that could lead to sanctions and possible military action if Iran does not suspend uranium enrichment.


U.S. State Secretary Condoleezza Rice said Wednesday she and her counterparts on the UN Security Council agreed to give Iran another two weeks to reconsider its position.


"We agreed to continue to seek a Security Council resolution but that we would wait for a couple of weeks while the Europeans design an offer to the Iranians that would make clear they have a choice that would allow them to have a civil nuclear program, if that is indeed what they want," Rice said on ABC's Good Morning America.


The Chinese and Russians have balked at the British, French and U.S. efforts to put the resolution under Chapter 7 of the UN Charter. Such a move would declare Iran a threat to international peace and security and set the stage for further measures if Tehran refuses to comply. Those measures could range from breaking diplomatic relations to economic sanctions and military action.


The United States accuses Iran of seeking to develop nuclear weapons, a charge Tehran denies, saying it aims only to generate energy.


Yudhoyono, speaking at a joint news conference after he met with Ahmadinejad for about 90 minutes, said he believed Iran was willing to resolve the nuclear standoff peacefully through further negotiations, and offered to help mediate. Yudhoyono's spokesman, Dino Pati Djalal, said Iran was receptive to the offer.


"We need to breathe new life into the negotiations," he said.

International law does not prohibit the use of napalm or other incendiaries against military targets[3], but use against civilian populations was by a United Nations convention in 1980 [4]. The United States did not sign the agreement, but destroyed its napalm arsenal by 2001.

The United States had reportedly been using incendiaries in the 2003 invasion of Iraq [5]. In August 2003, U.S. Marine pilots and their commanders confirmed the use of Mark 77 firebombs on Iraqi Republican Guards during the initial stages of combat.

"We napalmed both those [bridge]," said Colonel James Alles, commander of Marine Air Group 11. "Unfortunately there were people there ... you could see them in the cockpit video. They were Iraqi soldiers. It's no great way to live. The generals love napalm. It has a big psychological effect." [6]
