Mabus and the “Horrible Destruction of Men and Animals” A.K.A. The U.S. Nukes Iraq!
Since the 1st Gulf War of 1991 and the U.S. invasion of 2003, the United States has continued with a policy of rampant and unrestrained pummeling of the country of Iraq with bombs, rockets, artillery, mortars, bullets and missiles that are case hardened with Depleted Uranium that have created a ecological and human crisis of unparalleled levels.
DIRTY BOMBS
“The U.S. began dropping two-and-a-half-ton GBU-28 “dense metal” penetrators from B-52s and B-1 Stealth bombers. Exploding deep underground, the bomb’s explosive energy “coupled” with bedrock under immense pressure from the weight bearing down on it. The resulting seismic shock wave could crush an underground bunker - or the internal organs of anyone caught in the “overpressure” from a blast wave 20-times stronger than the bomb blast itself.

In order to penetrate rock and concrete, each “Great Big Uranium” bomb is shaped like a spear tipped with tons of radioactive Uranium-238 nearly twice as dense as lead. Using nuclear waste left over from making atomic bombs and reactor fuel, the amount of radioactive Depleted Uranium (DU) particles spread by each GBU “dirty bomb” eclipsed any terrorist’s fantasy - one-and-a-half metric tons of aerosolized particles capable of causing genetic mutations and death for the next four billion years! [Le Monde March 2002]
The similarities of BLU and GBU detonations to nuclear blasts was not lost on U.S. war planners, who realized that the blast effects and resulting radioactive fallout from conventional bunker-busters could mask the detonation of so-called “low-yield” B61-11 tactical nuclear bombs.”
In reality, the U.S. has used more nuclear material and has dumped Depleted Uranium in the thousands of tons on Iraq resulting in a range of destruction that far outweighs the nuclear disaster of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
DIRTY WAR
“In the heart of Baghdad, Christian Science Monitor reporter Scott Peterson waved a radiation-detecting wand over a small pile of jet-black dirt near a group of playing children - only to jump back in alarm when the instrument registered 1,900 times the normal background radiation. [Christian Science Monitor May 15/03; The Daily Star (Beirut) Sept 14/04; WSWS May 10/05]
More than 200 uranium-tipped Tomahawk cruise missiles were fired from U.S. ships and submarines during the first bombardment on Iraq. Hundreds more would follow. In addition, more than 3,000 bombs were dropped on metropolitan Baghdad - and the homes of six million people.
Nearly a quarter-million bombs were dropped by allied forces during Desert Storm. With DU dust blowing everywhere, and U.S. airstrikes continuing at least weekly for another 16 years, the legacy of permanent low-level radioactivity spread throughout Iraq can only be called genocide. [deoxy.org]
Dr. Asaf Durakovic, a Colonel in the U.S. Army Medical Corps, was put in charge of Nuclear Medicine Service at the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center. After finding unusually high radiation levels in American veterans, as well as birth defects in the offspring of their spouses, he had became convinced that not only that was DU slowly killing them, but also that it was causing changes in the human gene pool that would ravage future generations in the USA and Iraq. Asked to stop his research by the U.S. government, he refused.
In 2006, soil samples in Iraq showed radiation levels 17-times higher than any readings that might be remotely acceptable - threatening, in , Dr. Durakovic’s words, environmental “catastrophe.” This DU doctor believes that radioactive dust contamination from the 1991 war may have exposed the entire Gulf population.” [Depleted Uranium Radioactive Contamination In Iraq Aug/06]
The radioactive contamination through the use of these weapons throughout Iraq and Afghanistan can be viewed truly as an act of indiscriminate genocide that effect not only humans but animals as well. Through scientific studies it was found that the environmental toll is even more dramatic than first thought as it now continues to effect the animal populations throughout these areas as well, just as it does the human. The U.S. aggressions using the excuse of deposing Saddam Hussein (Mabus) and regime change has fulfilled this particular prophecy of Nostradamus to a tee. The U.S. has nuked Iraq and contaminated this country and its people for generations to come.
