Apparently the side-effects of exposure from the excessive use of depleted uranium (DU) is now being blamed on microscopic ’sand fly’ bugs. Doctors all over are trying to treat the symptoms with little success with a drug called ‘Pentostam’.

More than eleven thousand of the soldiers who participated in the first gulf war are dead now, with half of the total Gulf Storm soldiers on permanent disability. Many children of gulf war vets are being born with birth defects (missing limbs or missing organs). Since the radioactivity can affect other people through close contact, some gulf war brides even have had to have historectomies due to uteran cancer.
And this is just from exposure to several weeks of what we’re doing to the Middle East.
