Oklahoma No 1 in War Crime Weapons -- Fallujah Leveled by Uranium Weapons

The Empire's tactics

They are the same as they have been for 40 years. Does anybody remember the "elections" in Saigon, Viet Nam? You are maybe expecting the Empire to not change or alter it's lethal methods and procedures?

In Viet Nam it was the deadly chemical poison Agent Orange. In Iraq it is plain old processed uranium. The military must think uranium is better, because it is permanent. Uranium is radioactive. It kills people and contaminates their land - forever.
-
Eleven thousand of the Gulf War I Era Vets are dead. A half million Gulf Vets are on Medical Disability; but the government refuses to acknowledge they have radiation poisoning, hoping they will go ahead and die to reduce costs.
-
Oklahoma is the State where teachers are 50th, dead last, in pay among the States and the State that imprisons more of its women than any other. Worse than such memorably medieval states as Mississippi or Alabama. No wonder the capacity for thinking past today is so rare in Oklahoma. You can't trust Oklahoma

I don't know if he's right about lots of this stuff being used in Falluja - they are typically anti-armor weapons - antitank. Perhaps they are good for busting through mud-brick walls too? But the last few weapons on his list are artillery-fired anti-personnel mines - cluster munitions. I have no clue why an anti-personnel mine would use DU.

2. I guess that is considered an
eclectec group of thoughts.

Elections in Viet Nam to Agent Orange then to depleted uranium and today's disabled Gulf War vets and then on to teacher pay in OK and the 'fact' that you can't trust OK.

P.S. is this really true? "A half million Gulf Vets are on Medical Disability" I wouldn't have even thought that there were that many Vets from then.

3. Many other states have ties to defense industry but this is sick
While reading this I decided to research Mr. Rove...the achitect of death behind bush policy and I have posted this before..Rove is dual citizen of germany and Wilson says rover is "the leak" which killed 70 CIA agents..But bush and rover are modern day nazis ans soon enough it will be proven..I have enough proof at this point in history...

"George Bush's grandfather, Prescott Bush, was Hitler's banker in America and scrounged together the family nest egg from slave labor. Bush's long time sidekick and buddy Karl Roves's grandfather was a Nazi with a more "hands on" assignment in Germany."

More about Karl Rove. According to this Web site, Karl Rove is a dual citizen of the United States and Germany and is, in fact, the grandson of Karl Heinz Roverer, the gauleiter of Mecklenburg, who was also a partner and senior engineer of Roverer Sud-Deutche Ingenieurb¸ AG. They built Birchenau, the concentration camp in Nazi Germany.
According to reliable sources, as well as our own Al Martin Raw.com investigation, Karl Rove is, in fact, the grandson of Karl Heinz Roverer, the gauleiter of Mecklenburg, who was also a partner and senior engineer of Roverer Sud-Deutche Ingenieurb¸ro AG. They built Birchenau, the concentration camp in Nazi Germany.

So Karl Rove has been identified as the leaker responsible for the deaths of more than 70 CIA assets overseas (See previous story "Will the Real Chemical Ali Please Stand Up? The Curious Case of Ambassador Joseph Wilson)
And where would Rove go? Karl Rove, it should be noted, is a dual citizen of the United States and Germany. Because of his position he has special diplomatic status. The idea is that if its absolutely necessary he could go to Switzerland where he couldn¥t be extrad

8. After the battles in Falluja people claimed the military was hauling out..
large amounts of dirt in trucks. People were banned from areas until the dirt was removed. Who knows. I hate our leaders.

9. it's the 'free press' that's our problem
the reagan bush thatcher phenonenon was a mile long train pulled by a single engine, the news/information medium, which is a public service institution (its public service aspect is why govs all over the world throughout history have felt entitled to try to control the press or 'media' ie in the 'public interest') though owners have tried to obscure the actual role of media in demo societies....the ironic thing is that the 'press' is susceptable to the public, remember the schmidt(?) woman?
this reminds me; i must google bob schieffer

13. Proud to be an Okie from Muskogee"
My ass. I've thought about moving back to OK for some time now-tired of the FLA rat race. It's hard to make Jeb's FLA look more appealling than going home. But this author just did.
