| #8 ...and the comments... geeeze more 'tools' than Harbor Freight catalog. These guys are so ready and willing to hate America and believe anything and everything bad said about her. No need to ask for proof, or investigate outrageous claims. It's like they bend over backwards each trying to outdo each other with Hate-America propaganda and more outlandish lies. disgusting |

| #7 College dropout too. But he has 'mid-level' HTML knowledge and 'advanced' Photoshop skills. He'd be a natural for the Daily Kos. |

| #6 Our intrepid "journalist" has a profile on linkedin. His main claim to fame seems to be a big ego and that he can't hold a job very long. Too bad Journolist folded up, kid. You'd have been a natural... |

| #5 If Fallujah was one of the Husseins 'favored' places would it not be likely there were some of the elusive WMD facilities located there? And given the level of maintenance of public infrastructure in general, would it surprise if nasty stuff got loose from those elusive sites into the Fallujah environment? |

| #4 Fallujah was one of Saddam's favored communities before the war. However, by the time the seige rolled around, it had turned into Somalia by the Euphrates. Funny how letting Al Qaeda take over will do that to you. As for the accusation of depleted uranium causing these cancers, very few AP rounds were used during the battle. One thing I remember reading about after the battle was how hard it was to get the townspeople to take care of their own sewage and clean water systems. If they want to investigate the chemicals in the water, soil etc. looking at the town's own infrastructure maintenance would be a good place to start. |

| #3 not too mention I doubt Fallujah was one of the cleaner plkaces on earth before the siege. Looked like a shithole before the war. |

| #2 I don't believe a word of it. Sounds to me like recycled depleted uranium is bad nonsense using photos from the aftermath of the chemical attacks on the Kurds as evidence. Then using hiroshima and nagasaki as a headline grabber. Shoddy all around. |
