As Robert Fisk writes in The Children of Fallujah – the Hospital of Horrors
the doctors and nurses at Fallujah General Hospital have seen things that they won't even publish to the general public. A massive increase in birth defects (if you can even call them that) since the bombing of the city, literally a horror show, babies with abnormalities that experienced people have never seen in their careers, and it's happening all the time. To quote Mr. Fisk "But the photographs are a damning, ghastly reward for such doubts. January 7, 2010: a baby with faded, yellow skin and misshapen arms. April 26, 2010: a grey mass on the side of the baby's
head. A doctor beside me speaks of "Tetralogy of Fallot", a
transposition of the great blood vessels. May 3, 2010: a frog-like
creature in which – the Fallujah doctor who came into the room says this – "all the abdominal organs are trying to get outside the body.""While no studies with any kind of real funding will likely ever be done, the saddest part is the complete lack of support for the hospital to help any of these families. "Medical researchers have found dramatic increases in infant mortality, cancer and leukemia, even higher than Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Uranium levels in hair and soil samples are far beyond comparable cases." I can understand the Coalition's lack of interest in what is causing this, they obviously know that answer, but not to help 'cleanup' their mess is just so...dare I say American? I leave it up to the reader to determine what type of atom splitting or chemistry experiment has caused this, either is probable because stats are stats and ignorance is bliss.
So the results are in, the rumors have been backed up with actually evidence that the US has been using some sort of tactical nuclear missiles during the war in Iraq. The most likely type of missile is the Tomahawk BGM-109 (TLAMs) due to it being reported that "Coalition forces fired more than 725 Tomahawk cruise missiles by early 2003, one-third of the entire number in the inventory." The Series II missile was fitted with a nuclear warhead. The Series 4 was launched in 2004 but I doubt anyone is going to fess up what kind of warhead was used or what it contained. It's all need to know and I am fairly certain the troops on the ground didn't need to know either. The non-proliferation treaties leave some back doors for tactical weapons due to the fact that they can be tuned up or down to fit under certain thresholds to be considered in the treaty. The US runs most of the policy for the world so no one will challenge it anyway.
Dr Kypros Nicolaides, The Fetal Medicine Centre Director which supports The Fetal Medicine Foundation has been about the only outside help in Fallujah. I hope he pays his security teams well.
