I totally agree with pan. George W. Bush is moot in this subject, as he has never made any comments either way on DU. He's too busy invading Iraq and choking on pretzels anyway. The bottom line, as was well said by pan, is that there is enough of a possible risk here that we should stop using DU munitions for however long it takes to make sure that this is safe for our soldiers and the environment we are invading. It is irresponsible to leave problems this large for our children's children to deal with. Would you want your grandchildren and great grandchildren to resent you for selfishly skirting the responsibility of cleaning up a huge deadly mess like this? If you don't care about your grandchildren, you have some serious thinking to do, IMO.
