you seem to have failed to read or skiped over the first line of my thoughts on the Ops links from the post

TOXIC ZONES IN IRAQ: High risk areas contaminated with depleted uranium and other toxins from 30 years of war have left large areas of environmental ruin. The largest towns and cities

see the word depleted not enriched and the 30 years of war, now how long have we been in Iraq? have we not been in Iraq 8? or did i fall asleep and just wake up my cal says 2011. We went in 2003 is this not 8 years? and if we did use this type of weapon would we not be killing more of us the USA troop's? If so were is the cancer were are the burns? I can think of a lot of big gun ammo that would make it look like a small nuke went off Self Propelled Artillery has come a long way this is from 2000 www.fas.org...

The 30 year count starts with the Iran-Iraq war.

US involvement starts at the first Gulf War in 1990 - 1991. UN troops were in country until around 1997 to enforce the weapons disarmament.

so Iran used DU rounds? i thought this was a US made ammo, not

The Russians and Chinese use depleted uranium rounds as well.
