If the MSM picked up that whole story, complete with the unbelievable human toll DU has had on our soldiers (& their families) plus the environmental damage it's done to Iraq and publicized it to the degree that they've done with other "alleged" news stories some of these other issues would pale in comparison.

"some of these other issues would pale in comparison."

It sounds like you're trying to make a case that we should never have invaded Iraq.

I have read some on the effects of DU. There are differing opinions on it just as with anything.

I will be the first to admit there has been environmental damage in Iraq. I find it naive to think a war can be fought without it.

One thing that has been reported by the MSM is the butchery of Saddam and his regime, but only in a cursory manner. He and his thugs murdered and tortured hundreds of thousands of Iraqi's because he believed them to be a threat to his dictatorship.

I would ask our media to inquire with the average Iraqi citizen what is more important to them? DU, environmental damage or the fact that they now are not living under the murderous regime of Saddam and his killers.
