With all due respect, I won't waste my time trying to refute ignorant drivel from the left. Just not worth the time.

Why the hell would we do that? It gives us no advantage to slowly poison people when we could just kill them right then and there.

It's utterly asinine on its surface, so don't bother giving a substantive linked response. I mean, what precise link is going to say "the United States is NOT dropping radioactive waste bombs on Iraqis"--and why would any idiot dumb enough to believe that we'd do something like that believe the link?

I didn't look at the article you reference, but do remember reading something the other day. The headline is trying to bait a particular impression, but I think it really has to do with one of the components of the warhead - it's not really designed to be a radioactive waste dispersal system.
