Tyrones own if supporting lies and propaganda is pro American and flag waving at times of war is Patriotic then good for you. I happen to believe it's the very opposite. I live in the US and would lay down my life to uphold the Constitution.

That cop out comment by you heganboy has surprised me, of all people on this board I did not expect it of you. Then again nothing surprises me anymore.

I have just read through the reports on the website that links up to the pictures. I do not see ANY evidence on their/his site that ties the US military directly to the photos. He (site owner) states that the birth defects are being studied to determine if there is an actual corelation to US arms and the birth defects.

One of his statements (paraphrase) "Taliban soldiers guns would melt in their hands after a Uranium grade munition went off in the field." Why would the soldier not melt? The site owner goes on to say " the Taliban soldiers would be fine one day but bleed out through their mouth later and die."  Again how can a metal gun melt in one's hands and  then walk away if there was such immediate damage?

The pictures are horrendous if real and not doctored. Could this Uranium poising be left over from the Russians who were there for over 20 years?

Uranium grade weapons register specific characteristics which can determine origin but the site owner states there is no definitive answer on who or what causes the radiation poising.

I wonder why these birth defects are not showing up in the US since many soldiers had to handle these weapons?

So American bombs are not bad for your health but Russian bombs are, I've heard it all now. God help Georgia.

  That's not at all what he was getting at Seamus but then you know that already
I suppose the question to you is how come you only have barbs and bitterness for said perceived
US atrocities but simply no mention of on going atrocities elsewhere in the world past or present
It's like Merle used to sing Seamus.......If you don't love it.. leave it!
