Not only was it insane to spread large quantities of uranium throughout Iraq, but that "depleted uranium" is mostly U238, and will eventually be needed for breeder reactors.

Would that be the same type uranium spread throughout the Bosnia/Kosovo?

Are you saying A-10 pilots that sit on over 1000 rounds of those depleted uranium rounds are glowing in the dark and having babies with two heads?

I'm not an expert on such things, but “depleted”. . .what does that mean?

From what I have read years past is the dust from the 30mm round (and anti-tank rounds) cause respiratory issues. . .if you live through the attack.

Depleted rounds are excellent at penetrating armor, killing the bad guys. What would you use in its stead?
