There are two main concerns. One, that the depleted uranium is causing adverse effects upon the Iraqi civilian population, and two, that the depleted uranium is causing adverse effects among our own troops.
The argument seems to be that if weapons of nearly equivalent utility (non-DU rounds) would prevent this, they should be used instead to spare our own troops and the Iraqi civilians the negative consequences.
