I didn't watch it - but these birth deformities and cancers have been increasing in volume for two decades - since the Gulf War.
It is suspected it is the depleted uranium from their weapons as well as all the radioactive dust from the discarded rusting US military vehicles which infiltrates the water, food and soil.
Similar to Chernobyl - parts of Iraq are a toxic wasteland. The Americans are professionals at littering the planet with their poisonous waste and never admit to the consequences of their actions. Wherever their military bases and war zones are - you'll find depleted uranium.
SOUTHERN DEMILITARIZED ZONE, Iraq -- On the "Highway of Death," 11 miles north of the Kuwait border, a collection of tanks, armored personnel carriers and other military vehicles are rusting in the desert.
They also are radiating nuclear energy.
In 1991, the United States and its Persian Gulf War allies blasted the vehicles with armor-piercing shells made of depleted uranium -- the first time such weapons had been used in warfare -- as the Iraqis retreated from Kuwait. The devastating results gave the highway its name.
Today, nearly 12 years after the use of the super-tough weapons was credited with bringing the war to a swift conclusion, the battlefield remains a radioactive toxic wasteland -- and depleted uranium munitions remain a mystery.
Although the Pentagon has sent mixed signals about the effects of depleted uranium, Iraqi doctors believe that it is responsible for a significant increase in cancer and birth defects in the region. Many researchers outside Iraq, and several U.S. veterans organizations, agree; they also suspect depleted uranium of playing a role in Gulf War Syndrome, the still-unexplained malady that has plagued hundreds of thousands of Gulf War veterans.
