“Depleted uranium is used on the ends of bullets and on the ends of shells because it is so hard {that} almost any armament is vulnerable to something that is tipped with depleted uranium. They {the USA army} were throwing it away until they figured out they could use it for armament. We went to a hospital in Southern Iraq, and a woman was there with a very deformed child and her husband had been in the Iraqi Army and had been in the battles in Southern Iraq and came home and they produced a baby with very severe malformations… Both the Leukemia rates in children and malformations at birth had increased by 600% and it was clearly an epidemic where all this DU had been dumped… It becomes a dust that can be inhaled and infect the blood stream and the rest of the body and it was the opinion of the doctors there that this was caused by depleted uranium… They simply saw this as being a direct result of the war by United States. The doctor said, ‘Women {in Iraq} at the time of birth don’t ask if it’s a boy or a girl, they ask: Is it normal?’ …The military denies first, and then after the evidence builds to the point where they can no longer deny, then they do the research. That’s what happened in the Vietnam era around Agent Orange and I suspect and I’m worried that that’s what will happen this time.”

- U.S Representative, Jim McDermott
