No, this is NOT an "Alien" child. Rather it's a video of an infant affected by depleted uranium.

Why do we hear so little of depleted uranium? One possibility is likely because the "good" guys have such a tough time giving their covert criminal operations a positive spin

Why do we hear so little about it? An important question.

Could be largely because the TRUTH is NOT VERY PRETTY ...

Disturbing pictures. Viewer discretion strongly advised.

Depleted Uranium - Dirty Bombs, Dirty Missiles, Dirty Bullets
A Death Sentence Here And Abroad

By Leuren Moret
1-21-6

"Military men are just dumb stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy."

Henry Kissinger, quoted in "Kiss the Boys Goodbye: How the United States Betrayed Its Own POW's in Vietnam"

Vietnam was a chemical war for oil, permanently contaminating large regions and countries downriver with Agent Orange, and environmentally the most devastating war in world history. But since 1991, the U.S. has staged four nuclear wars using depleted uranium weaponry, which, like Agent Orange, meets the U.S. government definition of Weapons of Mass Destruction. Vast regions in the Middle East and Central Asia have been permanently contaminated with radiation.

And what about our soldiers? Terry Jemison of the Department of Veterans Affairs reported this week to the American Free Press that "Gulf-era veterans" now on medical disability since 1991 number 518,739, with only 7,035 reported wounded in Iraq in that same 14-year period.

Ummm...Joo?

Do carry on about the neo-nazis, but...

Their sites are saying that DU causes cancer.

Does it, or does it not?

Are people suffering from the effects of DU, or are they not?

If so, how many? To what extent?

[Joo Rip Gwa Rhhee]

Why should anyone believe those sites? Those behind them want to destroy the US government. so they would not be above distorting or lying.

Those sites are nothing more than propaganda by an enemy.

DU is probably very bad. But probably not as bad as those who oppose US actions of the US in Iraq.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depleted_uranium

But for some perhaps many of them it is just an issue to go after the US with. Those people have a different agenda.

These photos may make you cry..

What makes me even sadder is that the last time I read about this in the British press was 2001. Western doctors working in Iraq confronted with hideous deformity on a regular basis. The article was trying to convey the horror of the consequences of DU being used in the gulf war. Why did the media never follow this up? Did the authorities lean on them?

The British and Americans have continued using DU despite knowing (unofficially of course) of the consequences. According to one estimate: 25% of new born babies in Afghanistan are now showing signs of exposure to uranium. The people who make those shortsighted and cynical decisions are at least as bad as the terrorists who make attacks on innocent citizens - probably far worse.

DU will remain in the environment for thousands and thousands of years. Generations will be affected.

Big Bird.

What is the dreadful truth? I don't accept your source without question.

DU is bad but not as bad but probably not nearly as as the anti war movement says it it.

Usually that is the case.

I don't have a lot of faith in biased sources , I am willing to read them , but I don't just take their word for it. I am just curious would you accept a report from the other side? I think you would view it with skepticism.
If it makes you feel better a lot people consider the NY Times to be a little on the liberal side.
