BAGHDAD— In new Iraq, women like Leila Omar Wassin are heart-broken giving birth to babies born malformed because of the deadly substances years of war have sown in their bodies.
"My first baby died after he was born without legs and the second one died few days ago because his spinal cord was exposed and his head was too big," the 36-old woman told IslamOnline.net.
Wassim is one of the victims of the massive bombing of Fallujah in 2004, when the US army admittedly used depleted uranium munitions, which contain low-level radioactive waste.
That's our military-industrial complex at work! X(

I'm trying to understand our government in their reasoning in using depleted uranium in our ammunition. Does it make our bullets fly straighter or farther? (sorry. Non military background)

It is used for its armor piercing abilities. It is more dense than lead and much harder. They call it the "silver bullet".
