Actually, Ustwo has done nothing but show us articles he could have typed himself. Most others (including myself) who share facts also share the links we have gotten our facts from. Ustwo as always refuses to, therefore IMO (and just MY OPINION) he provides no facts, because he refuses to follow decorum and put links up, yet he is one of the first to demand others link.

Some say I have strawmen, but I question how as I have shown my sources and they come from many diverse areas not just 1 government approved release.

My stance is this is Agent Orange all over again, only far worse with far more retributions in the future to face. Do we truly 10 years from now want to say "oops, sorry guys, hazards of war and all", not just to the people whose land we contaminated but our own soldiers? Are we so eager to take that risk when there are better safer alternatives out there?

Perhaps, if we were to truly look into who is supplying the DU we may find out why we are paying for that instead of a safer material that will not contaminate.

Again, I ask why, if we are so much more superior and according to Bush and company the people fighting us are a weakly few, do we even need weapons of this caliber used?

Again, I ask and am waiting for an answer, how would any of you supporters feel if someone invaded us, used weapons that contaminated our ground water,our air, our plants and said "there is no evidence saying we did that."?

I think the sad fact is too many of you are so partisan that you won't admit when Bush maybe wrong on a subject that would hurt his credibility. I think so many of you argue just because you feel this DU issue doesn't affect you. Also, you see people on the other side of the spectrum, who are against it, so, you without truly reading the facts provided, decide that you have to disagree with their stance.

This is not a partisan issue, this is not a wait and see issue, this is a why take the chance when there are by far safer alternatives that can be used issue.

It's an issue of we don't need to use DU so why are we, especially when we are being told how ill equipped and under armed and scared the enemy is of us. Why do we not use safer materials just to take away any controversy that may arise? WIll it truly affect the war if we do? Are these Iraqi insurgents going to kick our ass if we stop using DU? According to the White House they shouldn't as it is all just tiny squirmishes over there.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
