Fwd: Radiation in Iraq Equals 250,000 Nagasaki

Bombs................

 

 

 

here the article on the uranium the American troops have been using in Irak and

in other recent wars, which you already found in Italian.

Radiation in Iraq Equals 250,000 Nagasaki Bombs

As a writer I do not have a set of words to describe what 142 Degrees in the

shade is like. I've seen 120 D. in Phoenix and 110 D in the spa's sauna I use.

One hundred forty-two degrees leaves me speechless. Try to imagine 142 D

temperature while wearing a helmet, long sleeve shirt, long pants, a bullet

proof vest, boots, and carrying a 70 pound pack.

 

By contrast the Inuit of Alaska and Canada have thirty-seven words to precisely

talk about different kinds of snow.

 

So, since the temperature is heating up in Iraq it seemed like a good time to

float this story to different Internet sites and news publications. There was

one story in 2003 of one 19 year old British soldier whose military job was to

work in a British tank. In Iraq. In the summer. Word is, from London, that he

forgot to drink enough water and he literally cooked in his tank.

 

But, this story is not about the temperature in Iraq. You can bet, though, the

weather will be really important for those Americans unfortunate enough to still

be in Iraq this summer.

 

This story is about American weapons built with Uranium components for the

business end of things. Just about all American bullets, 120 mm tank shells,

missiles, dumb bombs, smart bombs, 500 and 2,000 pound bombs, cruise missiles,

and anything else engineered to help our side in the war of us against them has

Uranium in it. Lots of Uranium.

 

In the case of a cruise missile, as much as 800 pounds of the stuff. This

article is about how much radioactive uranium our guys, representing us, the

citizens of the United States, let fly in Iraq. Turns out they used about

4,000,000 pounds of the stuff, give or take. That is a bunch.

 

Now,most people have no idea how much Four Million Pounds of anything is, much

less of Uranium Dust (UD), which this stuff turns into when it is shot or

exploded. Suffice it to say it is about equal to 1,333 cars that weigh three

thousand pounds per car. That is a lot of cars; but, we can imagine what a

parking lot with one thousand three hundred and thirty three cars is like. The

point is: this was and is an industrial strength operation. It is still going

on, too.

 

No sir-ee, putting Four Million Pounds of Radioactive Uranium Dust (RUD) on the

ground in Iraq was a definitely " on-purpose " kind of thing. It was not " just an

accident. " We, the citizens of the United States, through our kids in the Army,

did this on purpose.

 

When the uranium bullets, missiles, or bombs hit something or explode most of

the radioactive uranium turns instantly to very, very small dust particles, too

fine to even see. When US Troopers or Iraqis breathe even a tiny amount into

their lungs, as little as One Gram, it is the same as getting an X-Ray every

hour for the rest of their shortened life.

 

The uranium cannot be removed, there is no treatment, there is no cure. The

uranium will long outlast the Veterans' and the Iraqis' bodies though; for, you

see, it lasts virtually forever.

 

But, it gets worse. Seems an Admiral who is the former Chief of the Naval Staff

of India wanted to know how much radiation this represented. He also wanted to

express the amount in a figure that the world, especially the non American

world, could easily understand.

 

The Admiral decided to figure out how many Nagasaki Atom Bombs it would take to

deliver the equivalent of the total amount of radiation deployed in Iraq in 2003

in Four Million Pounds of uranium.

 

The Admiral also wanted to figure out how much radiation the United States

Military Forces have deployed in the last Five American Wars, the so-called Five

Nuclear Wars.

 

That is a simple enough task for somebody like the Naval Chief of Staff for a

country that is a member of the Nuclear Club. Using the Nagasaki bomb for the

measuring stick is a particularly gruesome twist, though. For those of you in

the States who do not know it, the United States Military Forces dropped two

nuclear Bombs on Japan at the close of World War II.

The whole world remembers that.

 

One Atom Bomb was dropped by Americans on the city of Hiroshima, the other on

the city of Nagasaki three days later. About 170,000 people were incinerated

immediately. It was a really big deal.

 

It is a measuring stick that plays very well in the rest of the world; but, not

very well on Fox News (Fair & Balanced) © or the rest of the Fox-like American

media. The Department of Energy still lists the Hiroshima and Nagasaki

detonations as " tests. " The admiral released the data months ago at a scientific

conference in India. This article is the first report of the data in the United

States.

 

It will first be released on the Internet.

 

The admiral in India calculated the number of radioactive atoms in the Nagasaki

bomb and compared it with the number in the 4,000,000 pounds of uranium left in

Iraq from the 2003 war. Now, believe me, it is a lot more complex than that;

but, that is essentially what the experts in India did.

 

How many Nagasaki Nuclear Bombs equal the Radiation loosed in the 2003 Iraq war?

Answer: About 250,000 Nuclear Bombs.

 

How many Nagasaki Nuclear Bombs equal the Radiation loosed in the last Five

American Nuclear Wars? Answer: About 400,000 Nuclear Bombs.

 

Who would do something like this?

 

We would. The only people in the history of the world to engage in Nuclear Wars

are Americans, citizens of the United States. Allegedly, the Germans and

Japanese of WWII also wanted to engage in nuclear wars, except the American

Military beat them to the draw, so to speak.

 

Respected academic scholars could debate forever whether or not Herr Hitler,

Fuhrer of Germany, would have deployed uranium munitions in the Sudetenland if

the weapons had been available. Certainly the Germans knew just as much about

uranium wars as we did at the time. It seems doubtful that Adolph Hitler would

have ordered the use of uranium munitions there because the Sudetenland was so

close to the Fatherland, Nazi Germany.

 

An American General named Leslie Groves was in charge of the bomb making

operation called The Manhattan Project. In 1943 The War Department knew exactly

what uranium bullets and bombs were good for.

 

If the nuclear weapons did not detonate in Japan, the use of uranium bullets and

bombs were the fall back position. It was not till Ronald Reagan was President

in 1980 did the re-named Defense Department resurrect the deadly radioactive

uranium bullets, bombs, and missiles. No wonder his popular nick-name was Ronnie

Ray-Guns.

 

The American Military knew the symptoms of radiation poisoning in 1943 too;

starting with the irritated sore throat through to an agonizing death from being

cooked from the inside out.

 

President Bush promised to invade twelve countries in the 2003 State of the

Union speech.I believe the man.For some reason,some misguided Americans do not

believe him, or think he was " exaggerating. " The rest of the world has every

reason to believe him, though.

 

Not to worry, the President has plenty of raw material for radioactive uranium

munitions left.

 

There are more than 77,000 Tons stored at the 103 nuclear waste plants and the

several Nuclear Weapons Labs in the US.

 

Each one makes another 250 pounds of radioactive material a day for radioactive

bullets, bombs, and missiles.

 

Not to put too fine a point on it; but, that is enough for 40.5 more gloriously

successful campaigns like the 2003 Nuclear War in Iraq.

 

Every year about this time the Southern winds leave a fine desert sand on the

windshields of cars parked outside in Continental Europe and Britain. Soon this

sand dust will carry a surprise.

 

Thanks to the Americans. Thanks to us. We did this to the world. And, we wonder

why they hate and despise us so.

 

These uranium weapons' indiscriminate killing effect gives a whole new meaning

to the age old term: cannon fodder. In Iraq, what goes around, comes around. If

not the uranium munitions themselves, the uranium dust will be in the bodies of

our returning armed forces, time bombs slowly ticking away the lives of the

gullible and the ignorant with their very own internal radiation source, the

cannon fodder of the 21st Century American Nuclear Wars.

Put your ending to this article next.

 

A lot of people have done everything we can think of to stop these nuclear wars.

Even more specifically to stop the use of uranium as a munition and shut down

the nuclear power plants. We have tried and failed for years. Why don't you give

it a try? Can't hurt anything! Write what steps you would take to turn this

situation around. Contact me at: bobnichols.
