[Peace-discuss] The US usage of Depleted Uranium

[Karen Aram]

Roger,

In your, per usual, support for the US corporate war machine, you have inundated this Peace List and me with information disputing the use of depleted uranium by the US military. You have maligned Lauren Moret if not on this list but in emails to Press TV Bccing me, as well as comments in reference to David Rokke a former member of AWARE, for what purpose I don’t know.
Anything I post to this website represents me, not other members of AWARE, as we are not a homogenous group other than our opposition to war.

As I said, if you can come up with evidence, other than your own opinion, worthy though it maybe given your military background and knowledge of weaponry, to refute the article in Foreign Policy in respect to the use of DU in Syria in 2015, I welcome it.

However, you should be contacting and communicating with CENTCOMs’ Maj. Josh Jacques who is quoted in the Foreign Policy article, before inundating us with information that deviates from the topic and acts as a distraction. Repeated below from “Foreign Policy” the essence of the article:

"U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) spokesman Maj. Josh Jacques told Airways and Foreign Policy that 5,265 armor-piercing 30 mm rounds containing depleted uranium (DU) were shot from Air Force A-10 fixed-wing aircraft on Nov. 16 and Nov. 22, 2015, destroying about 350 vehicles* in the country’s eastern desert."
